Th e massive $8 billion LaGuardia
Airport redevelopment project is on
schedule with the fi rst of four concourses
that will comprise Delta’s new state-ofthe
art terminal on track to open this fall.
Th e new 105,000-square-foot concourse
will feature fl oor-to-ceiling view of Citi
Field and Flushing Bay, gates that can
accommodate a wide range of aircraft ,
and a wide range of dining options.
Th e opening of Delta’s fi rst new gates
represents another step forward in the
multi-phase construction plan that allows
LaGuardia to remain fully operational
while the entire airport undergoes a complete
reconstruction.
“Th is new milestone in LaGuardia’s
transformation brings us another step
closer in converting the airport into a
world-class fl ight hub in line with New
York standard,” Governor Andrew Cuomo
said. “Our collaboration with Delta in
the development of this concourse and
the new LaGuardia terminal is another
demonstration of the eff ectiveness of public
private partnerships at work to modernize
our state’s infrastructure.”
Th e fi rst new concourse opening this
fall will feature options including H&H
Bagels, Rossi Pizzeria and Flatiron Tavern
& Provisions, a contemporary tavern that
will feature chops, burgers and fresh fi sh.
“Th e transformation of LaGuardia
Airport is part of New York’s bold
eff orts to modernize our airports and
improve the travel experience,” Lieutenant
Governor Kathy Hochul said. “Th e new
Delta concourses at LaGuardia will bring
additional dining and retail options, highlighting
many local products New York
has to off er.”
Th e overhaul includes building a new
Terminal B which will replace the outdated
terminal that opened more than 50
years ago. Terminal B’s fi rst 18-gate new
concourse opened last December featuring
fl oor-to-ceiling windows, an indoor
park with benches and landscaping, and
modern restrooms. Th e Port Authority
submitted its case to the Federal Aviation
Authority for the controversial $2 billion
Renderings courtesy of Governor’s offi ce
LaGuardia AirTrain that would would
bring riders to Willets Point for connections
to the 7 train and the LIRR.
“LaGuardia Airport is undergoing
this massive redevelopment to ultimately
off er travelers a world-class facility
that New Yorkers deserve,” Port Authority
Executive Director Rick Cotton said. “And
the opening of Delta’s newest concourse at
LGA will be an important next step.”
