LaGuardia airport has long been a favorite air-port residents of the Big Apple. This weekend they will have another reason to grumble, because, in connection with the restoration, six airlines will replace the usual terminals.
The main change will be that JetBlue will move from Terminal b to terminal a, which is also known as the historic Marine Air Terminal, decorated in the art Deco style. This terminal is the best part of LaGuardia. William Delano built a round building in 1940, and, according to the national Park Service, it remains the only active terminal operating since when the first generation of passengers started to travel by plane for the United States.
A JetBlue representative said that the airline will return to the Terminal B when all the repair work on the facility will be completed, what is likely to happen in a few years.
While it is unclear, where you will get the remaining 45 airlines, and where they will settle eventually, after the authorities completed an ambitious restoration project of the airport.
According to the press release, Port authority of new York and new Jersey, which manages the airport on Saturday at new locations will also move:
- Alaska Airlines will replace Terminal B to terminal a with JetBlue.
- American Airlines will move from Terminal C to Terminal B.
- The Delta Shuttle, previously huddled close in terminals A and C, now will be in Terminal C.
- Frontier Airlinescurrently operating in Terminal B, will hold its flights in Terminal C, and the arrival is in Terminal D.
- Spirit Airlines, located in Terminal B, will hold its flights in Terminal C, and the arrival is in Terminal D.
Recall that the first stage of the overhaul started last June, when perestroika began Terminal B. The total budget required to implement the entire project is $8 billion.
The discovery of about half of the new gates in Terminal B will be held next year, and the main terminal area will begin to work by the beginning of 2020. Major repairs should be completed in 2021.
