LaGuardia’s Terminal B set for another milestone on August 5

LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP) today announced that it will officially open the first seven gates of the Western Concourse of the new state-of-the-art Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport on August 5, 2020.

With the opening of these seven gates, Terminal B is one step closer to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s vision of a 21st century LaGuardia Airport.

The new 218,000 square foot concourse will open in two phases, to allow the remaining gates in the original terminal to stay operational during construction.

In this first phase, seven of 17 gates will open, along with the Gotham News newsstand and a portion of the concourse’s park, featuring greenery and benches.

The concourse features plenty of natural light and soaring ceilings up to 55 feet high. Its restrooms are thoughtfully designed, including spacious stalls and above sink shelves to keep belongings dry.

In addition, the Western Concourse features two pieces of New York City inspired artwork, with one being a sculpture by Romero Britto.

American Airlines will operate in the new Western Concourse and also continue to operate from the original terminal’s D gates while construction continues.

Passengers will check-in at the brand new state-of-the-art Terminal B Arrivals and Departures Hall, which opened in June of 2020 and connect to the new Western Concourse through a temporary walkway.

The Terminal B redevelopment includes a new 35-gate terminal, a parking garage, and a Central Hall, which will unify the airport by connecting to Terminal C, which is also being redeveloped.
