Governor Hochul, Port Authority and LaGuardia Gateway Partners Announce Completion of Construction for New Terminal Facilities at LaGuardia Airport's World-Class Terminal B

Statement

Governor Kathy Hochul, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Executive Director Rick Cotton and Chairman Kevin O'Toole, and LaGuardia Gateway Partners CEO Frank Scremin today celebrated the completion of new facilities at LaGuardia Airport's Terminal B, marking a major milestone in the terminal's $4 billion transformation. The completion and the opening of LaGuardia Terminal B's western skybridge, and the opening in December of Terminal B's second concourse, means that every arriving and departing passenger at Terminal B will experience newly built, 21st century architecture and facilities from gate to curb. All of the terminal's temporary walkways will now be taken out of service by Saturday, Jan. 29. With the completion of the second pedestrian bridge, which will span an active aircraft taxiway, Terminal B also becomes the world's first airport with dual pedestrian skybridges.

"The transformation of LaGuardia airport into a world-class destination that is internationally recognized for its beauty is an integral part of our bold vision for a new era in New York," Governor Hochul said. "The completion of this $4 billion project will help provide a brand new passenger experience for everyone traveling through Terminal B, easing connections and creating lasting impressions. Congratulations to all who made today's milestone possible as we continue creating a whole new LaGuardia airport worthy of New York. "
