Best Midsize Airport in America
Our passengers have spoken and recognized the successful efforts of our redevelopment program in elevating customer experience at LaGuardia Airport.
The Airports Council International (ACI) announced that LaGuardia has earned the 2023 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Award for Best Airport of 25 to 40 Million Passengers in North America.
ACI World’s annual ASQ Awards recognizes airport excellence in customer experience worldwide based on data collected from passengers from ASQ’s renowned Departures and Arrivals Surveys. The awards are delivered in partnership with Amadeus, one of the world’s top travel technology companies.
Skytrax Winner
In 2023, LaGuardia’s Terminal B was named the world’s best new terminal based on feedback from customers around the world surveyed on factors including check-in, shopping, security, terminal comfort and ambiance, and choice of bars and restaurants – making its airline terminal the first in America to achieve the highest global 5-Star Airport Terminal Rating from Skytrax.
UNESCO Prix Versailles Winner
In 2021, LaGuardia’s Terminal B won UNESCO’s Prix Versailles, the global architecture and design award, for best new airport in the world. This prestigious award underscores the agency’s promise to transform what was once regarded as the nation’s worst airport into a world-class facility ranking among the best in the nation.
A World-class Transformation
The $8 billion investment to transform LaGuardia Airport is paying off in every way with an elevated customer experience and nation-wide recognition. When we said A Whole New LaGuardia, we meant it. And when we said it will be worth it, our passengers and the nation are affirming it.
The opening of the award-winning Terminal B was the first milestone on our journey from worst to best. Terminal B’s dual skybridges overlooking an active aircraft taxiway, makes LaGuardia the first airport in the world to have such an amenity. Add to that the terminal’s brand-new second concourse, and passengers are offered a one-of-kind experience from gate to curb.
Delta’s brand-new Terminal C opened to passengers in June of 2024 – expansive and nearly double if the two terminals that it replaced. By consolidating 37 gates into one spacious facility with a single Arrivals and Departures Hall with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows, 21st century technology and locally inspired concessions, the terminal offers passengers high quality dining options in a world-class atmosphere.
As travelers are enjoying the whole new LaGuardia, The Port Authority of NY & NJ turns its attention to setting a new standard for air travel at Newark Liberty International Airport and complete transformation of John F. Kennedy International Airport. Learn more at EWRRedevelopment.com and ANewLGA.com.
A Whole New LGA Nears Completion
The total $8 billion transformation of LaGuardia Airport makes it is the first new major airport built in the United States in the last 25 years. Delta’s brand new Terminal C opened to passengers on June 4, 2022. The expansive new terminal, nearly double in size to the two terminals it replaces, consolidates 37 gates into one spacious facility with a single arrivals and departures hall featuring soaring floor-to-ceiling windows, 21st century technology and locally-inspired concessions. Images of the New Terminal C can be found here and more information is available at Delta’s News Hub.
The opening of Terminal C is but the latest milestone over the course of the past six years in which a Whole New LaGuardia has taken shape, yielding a true gateway worthy of the region. It follows only months after the completion of passenger facilities at the new Terminal B, which in 2021 was awarded UNESCO’s prestigious Prix Versailles, signaling its status as the best new airport in the world.
In 2015, a comprehensive plan to construct a whole new LaGuardia Airport was unveiled with the goal of creating a world-class, 21st century passenger experience featuring modern customer amenities, state-of-the-art architecture, more spacious gate areas and a unified terminal system. The $8 billion project, two-thirds of which is funded through private financing, broke ground in 2016.
