The All-New Terminal C

The opening of the new state-of-the-art Terminal C in 2022 marked the substantial completion of the redevelopment of a whole new LaGuardia Airport. Delta Air Lines developed, constructed, and now operates and maintains the new terminal under a lease agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The $4 billion, 1.3 million-square-foot terminal nearly doubled the size of the two former undersized and outdated terminals it replaced. The result is a modern, unified space encompassing 37 gates along four concourses linked to a central hub for check-in, security, and baggage claim.

The new terminal is both efficient and beautiful. Cutting-edge technology, such as hands-free bag drop and digital ID screening, moves passengers quickly to and from their gates, while dual taxi lanes between the concourses reduce aircraft taxi time. Soaring floor-to-ceiling windows fill the terminal with natural light, creating an ideal atmosphere for a collection of artwork curated by the Queens Museum. Locally-inspired concessions and high-end finishings such as tiled walls and wood accents further enhance the passenger experience. The terminal's LEED Silver certification aligns with the Port Authority's commitment to sustainability.
