LA Guardia Airport, the dilapidated terminals and record of traveller delays of which have made it the butt of jokes and complaints for decades, will be completely rebuilt by 2021, Vice-President Joe Biden and Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, estimates the overhaul will cost about US$4 billion, most of which will go toward tearing down the Central Terminal Building, rebuilding it in place and augmenting it with a grand entry way.
