  New York Airways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York Airways was an airline that offered scheduled helicopter service from atop the Pan Am Building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City to other airports in the area.
Founded in 1949 as a mail and cargo carrier, it commenced passenger operations on July 9, 1953, becoming the first scheduled helicopter carrier in the United States and the first passenger helicopter carrier in the world.
It could not recover after a 1977 accident and the 1979 energy crisis, and New York Airways filed for bankruptcy on May 18, 1979.

 British Airways - Destinations: New York City, USA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
New York has always been a city of the world and its multinational, multicultural inhabitants (who speak over 80 languages) infuse its concrete canyons with a buzz that is every bit as energising and electrifying as that depicted in countless films and TV programmes.
New York’s location at the confluence of the Hudson River, Long Island and the Atlantic Ocean reflects the city’s importance as a port and as the disembarkation point for millions of immigrants to the USA.
New York is an excellent place to visit at any time of year, although it is particularly pleasant during the spring and fall, when temperatures hover around 21ºC (70ºF).

NEW YORK — British Airways' last Concorde flight for fare-paying passengers landed in New York on Thursday, a day before scheduled supersonic service ends.
Thousands of planespotters were expected to gather near Heathrow Airport on Friday to watch the near-simultaneous landing of the flight from New York and two other Concordes — one carrying competition winners from Edinburgh, the other taking guests on a circular flight from Heathrow over the Bay of Biscay, west of France.
Virgin Atlantic Airways chief Richard Branson, whose attempt to buy the remaining Concordes was rebuffed by British Airways, said it was a shame the plane would not be allowed to continue flying.
