LaGuardia Gateway Partners CEO Stewart Steeves said: “The opening of the Western Concourse is yet another milestone that we’re proud to have completed in the overall redevelopment of Terminal B.”

The $5.1bn LaGuardia Terminal B redevelopment project includes a new 35-gate terminal, a Central Hall, a parking garage, related roadways and supporting infrastructure.

Commenting on the launch, New York Governor Cuomo said: “With the opening of this new concourse, LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B is hitting two major milestones in one summer and moving closer to its full transformation into a 21st-century travel facility.

“LaGuardia Airport is going to be the first new airport in the United States in 25 years, and we’re building it while still operating the old airport. Travellers coming to New York should expect nothing less than a world-class experience, and that is what we are delivering with this modernisation project.”

Last month, the airport announced the opening of the 850,000ft² Arrivals and Departures Hall with new concessions and traveller amenities.

The hall features increased space for passengers to move more safely and efficiently during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
