LaGuardia Airport Is Looking 'Great Again'

When flying into New York City's LaGuardia Airport, 29 million annual passengers have been eye witnessing constant construction for years. And finally, the $8 billion effort to streamlined road access, new terminals, and modern-day amenities is nearing completion.

The two main builders, LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP) and Delta Airlines, have made significant progress, unveiling what New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has called the airport's biggest milestone to date, a new Arrivals and Departures Hall at Terminal B, reported NewsDay on September 5, 2020.

Cuomo stated in June 2020: "We needed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we needed to see New York stand up and shine, we needed to remember how great a place this is, and how great a people we are.”

The design incorporates soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light, creating a comfortable and welcoming ambiance for passengers. The top level features the main commercial district, including 17 of the hall’s 21 modern shops and restaurants.

LGP has also partnered with the U.S. TSA to ensure Terminal B features the most technologically advanced screening equipment, including Advanced Imaging Technology, Smart Pad System and mobile inspection tables as part of the baggage system.
