7.24.16 - Delta Air Lines’ deal is big for the new LaGuardia Airport
"Now that construction plans are set, Delta and the Port Authority have to agree on a long-term lease for the new terminal, including revenue sharing terms. All of this was done without giving Delta any guarantees that the Port Authority, which operates the airport, would change the perimeter rule, which could allow cross-country flights at LaGuardia. Nonetheless, the time has come for this change."
"Now we know LaGuardia will get a full makeover, though we still don’t know whether an AirTrain from Willets Point will become a reality. Construction will begin with the parking lots, but the worst of the traffic detours have yet to start. Clear communication between the Port Authority and the public will be key. But each step is one closer to a moment when Trump, Biden and all of us can land at a First World LaGuardia."
