Manhattan Airport Foundation
- Manhattan Airport Foundation

The Manhattan Airport Foundation is a parody advocacy organization[1] lobbying, as part of a hoax, for the development of an international airport replacing Central Park between 59th Street and 110th Street in Manhattan. The Foundation claims to have been founded in 2006 and that it is composed of members of civic, environmental and community groups as well as elected officials and city and state agencies.
The Foundation states that their proposed 'Manhattan International Airport' would be the largest public works project to be undertaken in New York since the creation of Central Park and that once built, the Airport would provide a much needed international air hub offering vital transportation access to individuals living and working in the center of Manhattan.
On July 15, 2009 the Foundation came to public attention when it released a Stage I call for entries for the commission of Manhattan International Airport.
