KEWR Shows the Smallest Decline (-66% vs. Other Airports' -75% to -93%) During the LaGuardia Incident — Major International Hub's Independent ATC Capability Makes It the Only Resilience Node in New York's Business Jet Network

Against the backdrop of all four New York airports collapsing, KEWR retained 16 movements (vs. baseline 47), a 66.0% decline significantly less severe than KFRG's 74.7% and KSWF's 90.6%. As an FAA Category 1 hub, Newark has independent approach control positions and runway capacity, maintaining partial business jet operations even when N90 TRACON implements broad restrictions. This has direct implications for FBO investment and charter scheduling: (1) Newark FBOs (such as Signature/Atlantic) hold 'last fortress' value during disruptions and should be incorporated into premium client emergency service agreements; (2) Operators' New York area diversion priority should rank KEWR above KFRG, despite the latter being closer to Manhattan. Confidence: ★★ (AviGo data clear; logical inference is reasonable but lacking ATC documentation for direct corroboration).
