New York officials on Wednesday, June 1 celebrated the six-year $ 8 billion reconstruction of the city’s long-derided LaGuardia airport with a brand new Delta Air Lines terminal.<\/span><\/div>\n

Delta’s glittering 1.3 million-square foot $ 4 billion Terminal C will begin flights on Saturday, June 4 at nine of the 37 new gates. Delta, the largest carrier at LaGuardia, is flying 255 flights daily to 70 cities this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

New York Governor Kathy Hochul did not forget Biden’s earlier assessment. “Come see this, President Biden, because your jaw is going to drop,” Hochul said at a grand opening event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rick Cotton, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said LaGuardia had transformed from the “most reviled airport in the nation” into a world-class facility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airlines provided about two-thirds of the cost, with about $ 3.4 billion from Delta, New York said.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Airlines in 2020 opened its new arrivals and departures hall at LaGuardia Terminal B. In January, the $ 4 billion terminal redevelopment project was completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, New York and Delta broke ground to consolidate Terminals C and D into a single terminal across four concourses and a centralized departures and arrivals hall. The terminal features high-tech art work, power outlets at all seats and fancy new restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delta CEO Ed Bastian said that in 2017 “it was the single biggest investment decision” in the airline’s history. Delta is investing more than $ 6 billion in New York’s LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airports, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new LaGuardia terminal includes Delta’s largest airport lounge, a 34,000-square-foot Sky Club with panoramic views that when finished can accommodate nearly 600 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, LaGuardia was the 25th busiest US airport serving 7.8 million passengers. The New York City area, with three major airports, is the most congested airspace in the United states.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airlines are forecasting record travel demand this summer as Americans who delayed trips during COVID-19 return to the skies.<\/span><\/p>\n
