LaGuardia Airport Transforms from Worst to Best in North America

Following an $8 billion renovation, LaGuardia Airport is now ranked among the top airports in North America, shedding its previously notorious reputation.

LaGuardia Airport, once criticized by President Biden as resembling a 'third world country,' has been named one of the best airports in North America according to the Airport Service Quality survey.
The airport's transformation followed a comprehensive $8 billion renovation, leading to a significant increase in overall passenger satisfaction.
Despite the improvements, some travelers still express concerns over aspects like the lack of subway or commuter rail lines and the design of certain terminal areas.
The renovation included the construction of new terminals inspired by New York City’s parks, aiming to enhance the passenger experience.
Port Authority officials and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have praised the renovation as a demonstration of ambitious government-led projects achieving world-class results.
