How the Gateway Project Impacts Our OperationS

The federal government recently awarded a $6.8 billion grant to begin digging the long-awaited Gateway tunnels. These new tubes under the Hudson River will replace century-old train tunnels into Penn Station, which are at severe risk of collapse. This necessary, $16 billion project is expected to create 95,000 jobs and significantly improve mass transit.

Construction of Gateway required the West 30th Street Heliport to lose about half of its footprint to facilitate the staging area. Air Pegasus, Inc. has been committed to help realize the essential Gateway Project. To that end, we worked with Amtrak and other stakeholders in this project to ensure construction begins on time without disruptions to essential services. Air Pegasus, Inc. fulfilled a 15-year promise to the community to move its landing pads to a barge. Such an arrangement allows our emergency response and medical partners at the heliport to continue their life-saving work as this essential project advances.
