This looks great, actually. LGA is finally a modern, attractive airport.

And the new adjacent/connected Delta terminal will be considerably bigger. But that second new terminal is a ways from completion.

It will remain LaGuardia's airport.

Welcoming words to world travelers at new Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport


June 10, 2020


Quote:
Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton stands in front of many quotes from NYC’s Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia lining the newly opened LaGuardia Terminal B Arrivals Hall wall during ribbon cutting and terminal tour June 10.

Here arriving visitors from around the world are greeted with infamous words from the former New Deal Mayor, as LGA is now part of the New Deal airport infrastructure in NYC initiated by Governor Cuomo.







https://classicnewyorkhistory.com/th...ardia-airport/

Quote:
The ground that LaGuardia Airport stands on was first used for the Gala Amusement Park. The park was run by the Steinway family, founders of the world-renowned Steinway and Sons piano company. The amusement park was torn down in 1929 and the space was converted into an airfield. The private airport was originally named the Glenn H. Curtiss Airport to honor the American aviation pioneer. It was renamed the North Beach Airport in 1935.

Shortly after that, New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia spearheaded the idea to turn the North Beach Airport into an airport for commercial flights. After flying into Newark Commercial Airport, which was the only commercial airport that served the area at the time, the mayor convinced the plane’s pilot to then fly him to Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field. There, La Guardia made his first public appeal at a hastily arranged press conference.

Floyd Bennett Field was the mayor’s first choice, but it was soon passed over due to the newly constructed Queens-Midtown tunnel. North Beach Airport became the city government’s primary focus for a new commercial airfield. Over $20 million was invested in the project. The New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field was dedicated on October 15, 1939 and officially opened for business soon after on December 2.

The airport was initially known as both LaGuardia Field and New York Municipal Airport until the city worked out a lease to switch to control by the Port of New York Authority. The airfield was officially named LaGuardia Airport after the agreement was finalized in June 1947, three months before Fiorello La Guardia passed away from pancreatic cancer.

I haven’t heard anything else about the new Central Hall (connecting the new terminals B and C) since the RFP was issued last year, I’ll have to dig into it...


https://www.newyorkconstructionrepor...-central-hall/

RFQ issued for interior design of New LaGuardia Central Hall

By Buckshon - August 30, 2019


Quote:
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has issued a request for qualification for the creative vision, design and operation of a new Central Hall linking the new Terminals B and C at LaGuardia Airport.

Serving as the main entrance and focal point of the new $8-billion LaGuardia Airport, the Central Hall will be an iconic welcome hall to the first new airport to be built in the U.S. in 25 years.
Quote:
The Central Hall will feature a soaring 50-foot-high ceiling, glass walls providing stunning views of the airfield and approximately 62,500 sq. ft. of premium interior space.

The hall is intended to become an architecturally significant landmark with premium dining, retail, meeting space and other amenities of high appeal to LGA’s 30 million annual passengers and 12,000 airport employees.

It will also feature a unique art, architectural or interactive installation that can become a recognizable ‘meetup’ place for travelers.


Generic rendering....








https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/gov...uardia-central


Quote:
Rick Cotton, Executive Director at The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said, "Like Governor Cuomo's vision to transform LaGuardia into a state of the art airport, the design for LGA's new Central Hall must be ambitious and unifying. The new Central Hall is not only the face of LaGuardia, but the face of New York for the 30 million passengers traveling through the airport each year; this RFQ will help identify the firms with the brightest and boldest ideas for the project."

I think the upcoming Central Hall connects the new main terminal to the new combined Delta terminal. The two terminal complexes were never connected.

Also, the LGA Airtrain will connect the two.

Right. That's what the new Central Hall is supposed to be.

I haven't seen a finalized design for that yet.

First post. Hoping I'm doing this correctly. Love this forum. As a former New Jerseyite and now resident of New Orleans, just curious. We last year opened a spectacular brand new terminal at Louis Armstrong International, closing our 60 something year old facility, effectively a brand new airport (using existing runways). Why does LaGuardia constantly state it's the first new airport in 25 years? Just curious. Don't mean to be that guy. LOVE the posts here! Thanks for a fabulous forum!

The new LaGuardia began opening in 2018 (it’s being built in phases). It’s not complete yet, the entire thing is scheduled to be complete in 2026, though now they’re saying they can move that up significantly.



Back to the Central Hall, I see now they have started work on it.

Thanks for posting. Any idea if this will have an airside connection between B and Delta?

The terminals will be connected. All airlines will be utilizing a single complex.

The question was whether they'll be connected behind security. I don't know the answer, though it's probably not too hard to figure out based on published reports.

Never heard of puffery? LGA is not even a "new airport" since the first runway opened in 1929. As you note, MSY opened a whole new terminal complex in 2019 on the "back side" of the airfield, but Indianapolis did the same exact thing in 2008 and Chicago-Midway in 2001. I'm sure there are others. The last ground-up airport to be built in a major US city was probably Denver...

Cuomo is probably building more new infrastructure than his immediate predecessors, but pretty much every claim issued by his PR machine is a joke.

It's an entirely new airport - or it will be when complete in a few years (obviously they don't mean the runways). I think people pretty much understood when he said "new" airport, he didn't mean completely out of the thin air. It's why they call it the "new" Laguardia. But that's all irrelevant. The rebuilding was long overdue, and they're making good on the promise - a modern functioning airport. No more jokes. BTW, I should point out that all of the 3 major airports (JFK, Newark, LaGuardia) are undergoing major rebuildings.
