COVER STORY
LAGUARDIA AIRPORT (LGA) entered
the new decade taking another
step forward in its $8 billion
transformation.
Delta Air Line's opened its first new
concourse at LGA in November as part
of its $4 billion terminal investment at
the airport. Concourse G is 105,000
square feet, with seven gates, providing
an array of new concessions options,
amenities, technology and wider spaces
to allow better circulation. Concourse
G currently serves 60 flights per day for
Delta with f lights to Boston, Chicago
and Washington, D.C.
When completed, the new terminal
will replace the existing Terminal C
and D, allowing Delta to consolidate
services in one building at LGA. The
new terminal will have 37 gates across
four concourses.
Ryan Marzullo, managing director
of corporate real estate in New York for
Delta, who is overseeing the airline's
LaGuardia project, said the improvements
will modernize operations and provide
gate flexibility for aircraft.
"Our focus was improving the
experience and operations for our
customers at LaGuardia," he said. "To
do that, we knew we had to make the
facilities bigger and more importantly,
the airside needed to be larger and more
efficient."
Delta was approached in 2015 by the
Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey along with New York Gov. Andre
Cuomo about upgrading its facilities after
Planners put an emphasis on technology inside Delta's new
terminal at LaGuardia Airport.

they announced the new Terminal B
project at LGA. Marzullo said the airline
seized the opportunity to modernize
its facilities and provide more efficient
operations while providing amenities
travelers want.
"It's really a simple design, focusing
on getting dual taxiways to 33 of the
37 new gates, expansive holdrooms,
Spacious
holdrooms
and the latest
technology
inside Delta's
new concourse
offers more
information
and space for
travelers.

better concessions and on the airside,
consolidated and efficient passenger
processing facilities and check in," he said.
Delta's operations are currently
spread across three different concourses in
two terminals at LGA. This means there
are three different locations travelers can
check in, three different areas they can
claim bags and three security checkpoints.
"Going from two terminals to one
and having a single check in, a single
security checkpoint and single bag
screening has efficiencies," Marzullo
said. "You can up staff or down staff
as needed and it reduces the number of
wrong terminal check ins."
Concessions options include local
brands and food options from New
York chef driven restaurants. All seats
include power for travelers as the airline
anticipates travel needs.
