10.29.19 - Governor Cuomo announces opening of Delta’s first new concourse and gates as part of LaGuardia’s $8 billion transformation to a world-class airport
'"The opening of the first new concourse at Terminal C is a major milestone that takes us one step closer to transforming LaGuardia Airport into a global gateway worthy of this state," Governor Cuomo said. "We're building the nation's first completely new airport in 25 years and showing the nation and the world that you can be ambitious and get big things done. At the end of the day, the new LaGuardia Airport will provide a world-class passenger experience with state-of-the art terminals and concourses like the one we're in today, new roadways and improved traffic flow, and 50 percent more tarmac space to reduce gate delays."'
'The Governor was joined by Delta CEO Ed Bastian, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and representatives of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to cut the ribbon on the new concourse which spans 105,000-square-feet and offers floor-to-ceiling views of Flushing Bay and Citi Field.'
