Emergency vehicles at the New York City area’s three major airports will be outfitted with new tracking devices after the NTSB highlighted a missing transponder aboard a fire truck as a contributor to last month’s deadly LaGuardia Airport plane crash. James Allen, a spokesman for Port Authority, announced Tuesday that the agency will be “expanding” the use of transponder technology across LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airports in line with the Federal Aviation Administration’s recommendation. The National Transportation Safety Board’s preliminary report released last week on the harrowing March 22 crash singled out the fire truck’s lack of a transponder but did not say if including the device could’ve prevented the collision.
