New $4 Billion Plan for LaGuardia Calls for New Single Terminal Building - Cuomo: ‘We Need to Tear it Down’ and Start Over
New York’s LaGuardia Airport will get more than a makeover, based on a plan announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo Monday. The $4 billion plan calls for demolishing the existing terminals and building one massive new terminal the length of two football fields approximately 600 feet (183 meters) closer to the Grand Central Parkway. The relocation will give the airport badly needed space for flight operations and taxiways. (www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Anyone really believe the $4 Billion number? By the time they finish it will be at least $5 Billion if not more. I'm not saying it isn't necessary but who believes estimates these days.
I agree with sweatinthswamp
looks like they will spend 4 billion on demolition alone
I live in NYS and taxes are going to go thru the roof and I live on the opposite side of the state!
tappanzee bridge, now this....time to start looking for a home away from this state

Upstate receives more in taxes from downstate. Maybe we should split up the state ...NYC+westchester+rockland+LI and the you can keep the rest...We can keep our tax $ and you can keep yours.
has anyone on top thought about how this is going to make congestion worse at KJFK, KEWR, KTEB, and other airports near by?
knowing how Cuomo likes to micromanage things...this will be a nightmare

Overall capacity at LGA won't really change - the runway configuration is the primary check on capacity at LGA, and the current plan won't change that side of things. It's not like the four airports are completely independent either; all four are managed by PANYNJ and in the N90 TRACON, so there's a coordinated approach.
In the short-term, congestion at all three airports may actually decrease; some gates will have to be taken out of service during construction, so there will probably be fewer flights into/out of LGA while work is ongoing.
