New York City or simply New York, is the most densely populated major city in the United States.
A global power city, ithas been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world.


 
Situated in the North-eastern United States, in south-eastern New York State, approximately halfway between Washington, D.C. and Boston. The geography of New York City is characterised by its coastal position at the meeting of the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean in one of the world’s largest natural harbours.
 
Most of New York City is built on the three islands of Long Island, Manhattan, and Staten Island.
New York is composed of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island; each of which is a separate county of New York State.
 
Five interesting facts:
1.       New York City receives over 60 million foreign and American tourists each year.
2.       Land in New York is priceless to own and even more expensive to develop that people are looking up — way up. In New York City, it’s possible to sell the air above a building for future development. Air, people. Air!
3.       The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States, and as many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
4.       Tokyo is the city with the most millionaires in the world, but London has the most multi-millionaires and New York the most billionaires.
5.       New Yorkers drink almost 7 times more coffee than other cities in the U.S.


New York City has three airports supporting the metropolitan area: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
 
Fly UK serve JFK and EWR, with daily and regular flights from London, Manchester and Edinburgh.  These are served through a wide selection of airframes including B744, B748, B77L & A350.  Cargo flights are also available in B748F from Stanstead and Los Angeles
