It's no secret New York's airports need an overhaul. Port Authority is bringing in the operator of one of the world's best-regarded airports to do it — but structural challenges in the U.S. remain.

Disruption at U.S. airports, IRS agents calling in sick, and the overall negative impact to the U.S. and even global economy — all these factors will pressure legislators in Washington and the current occupant of the White House to come up with a deal to end the U.S. partial government shutdown.

The columnist makes a good point. Most U.S. airports will never compare favorably to facilities in Singapore or Hong Kong or Frankfurt because U.S. airports tend to mostly handle a greater share of domestic flights.
