“The initiatives announced today are aligned with our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional experience for anyone traveling through New York for business or pleasure,” Delta President Ed Bastian said in a statement.

Delta says it has already invested more than $2 billion in infrastructure upgrades and passenger enhancements to its LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“We look forward to working in partnership with the governor’s design commission on a comprehensive and complementary redevelopment plan,” Bastian said.

The overall project calls for LaGuardia’s current layout, comprised of multiple, fragmented terminals, to be replaced by one main, architecturally unified terminal. To do that, the existing Terminal B building will be demolishing and replaced by a new, larger structure located closer to the Grand Central Parkway. The new structure will include new terminal space and a new central arrivals and departures hall and will link to Delta’s C and D terminals.

The eastern half of the new unified terminal will be built by Delta, which would move those terminals closer to the Grand Central Parkway and connect them to the new central arrivals and departures hall.

To better utilize LaGuardia’s footprint, squeezed between the Grand Central Parkway and the northern end of the East River, the new terminal will use an island-gate system that allows passengers to access their gates via raised pedestrian bridges, high enough for aircraft to taxi underneath, creating nearly two miles of new taxiway space.

The LaGuardia project still needs final approval from the Board of the Port Authority Board, which the governor expects early next year.
