Delta Air Lines’ new $4 billion terminal at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) partially opened June 4, 2022, marking another milestone in the revamping of the airport.
Construction on LGA’s Terminal C, a joint project between the state of New York, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Delta, was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic as air traffic plummeted. The terminal will be fully completed in 2024, two years earlier than originally anticipated, when Terminals C and D will be consolidated into the new Terminal C.
The opening of Terminal C comes after LGA’s $5.1 billion overhaul of Terminal B was completed earlier this year. Port Authority executive director Rick Cotton conceded June 1 that, prior to the renovation projects, LGA had been “among the most reviled [airports] in the nation.”
