The LaGuardia Airport (Here’s: Lga , ICAO-Code: Klga even as New York-LaGuardia known) is an international transport airport in the American metropolis New York City. The airport is named after Fiorello Laguardia, a former mayor of New York. Originally, New York Airport was called New York Municipal Airport or Glenn H. Curtiss Airport. ^[3]

The Laguardia Airport is located on Flushing Bay in the Queens district. It is located in the area of ​​the Neighborhood East Elmhurst. The Grand Central Parkway runs south of the airport, and Interstates 278 and 678 are also in the area. ^[4]

bus connections [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Five bus lines of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority connect the airport with train stations on the subway and the suburban railways in Queens and in Manhattan. They are drawn on the official subway schedule. ^[5] Two accelerated city bus lines with the quality feature “Select Bus Service” (SBS, similar to a metrobus line) run 24 hours every day and are equipped with luggage shelves in the vehicles:

• The SBS line M60 connects Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Harlem along the 125th cross street, via the Robert-F.-Kennedy-Brücken and through Astoria in Queens with Laguardia Airport. There is a transition to the subway lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, <6>, A, B, C, D, N or W and the train station at various stations Harlem–125th Street der Metro-North Railroad.
• The SBS line Q70 “Laguardia Link” in Queens only connects the subway stations 61st Street–Woodside und 74th Street–Broadway With Laguardia Airport. There is a transition to the subway lines 7, <7>, E, F, , M or r and to the train station Woodside The Long Island Rail Road. Since May 2022, this line has been used free of charge for all passengers. ^[6]

In addition, the regular city bus lines Q47, Q48 and Q72 make connections to the subway lines 7, M, N and R.

Express shuttle buses private providers run to Manhattan and other destinations.

AirTrain LGA [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Similar to AirTrain JFK At John F. Kennedy and the Airport and the AirTrain EWR At Newark Liberty International Airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey should be a. AirTrain LGA serve as the Peoplemover to the internal traffic of Laguardia Airport and combine it with existing lines of the rail -bound public transport.

Andrew Cuomo presented planning for the Airtrain LGA as Governor of New York in 2015. After taking over the office by Kathy Hochul in 2021, the project “put on ice” was ^[7] and is “probably done” ^[8] .

background [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

A direct extension of the subway lines on the BMT Astoria Line of the New York subway, which was designed as a high train, failed around four kilometers to the airport for various reasons in the early 2000s. ^{[9] [ten]} The route would have gone in densely populated area and met for a strong rejection of the residents. In addition, there was only a federal law by 2021 that only allowed the use of passenger fees for airport connections if the connection was mainly or exclusively used to the airport itself. In 1990, the law had been given the thought of preventing cities from crossing their own local transport from an airport. ^[11]

Due to these conditions, the Airtrain LGA would not have improved the public transport connection of the crossed residential areas, but only a point connection to the train station Mets–Willets Point Made on the edge of the Flushing-Meadows Park. His route upright along the Grand Central Parkway expressway would have continued geographically from Manhattan and thus extended the travel distance, but it would have been less obvious. In addition, there is already a powerful traffic system with a large parking lot, with a changeover option for the subway line 7 and, unlike in Astoria, also at the Long Island Rail for the sporting events in the Citi Field and the Usta Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which one Travel time of less than 30 minutes from the airport to the Pennsylvania station in Manhattan would have made possible. ^{[twelfth] [13] [14]}

The airport is essentially in an area that the piano manufacturer William Steinway acquired from farmers in the 1870s. His goal was to publish the production from the restless and strike -obsessed Manhattan and to have better satisfaction and control of the workers with a company settlement. In the area, the employees of the newly built Steinway production in Ditmars, Queens, should be located in Long Island. Steinway also wanted to offer them entertainment and relaxation for music and beer on the weekend at the “North Beach”. The then “North Beach” operating company founded William Steinway together with the equally brewing beer brewer George Ehret. It was the first large area, which was already illuminated around 1890. In the middle of the eastern amusement beach and the approximately a mile west of the west, William Steinway had acquired the Pikes Villa (from a former optician) as a weekend house, from the hilly position of which he was able to keep an eye on both the new factory and the amusement beach. On the occasion, Steinway personally dilated drunkolds with his revolver.

The North Beach Society for the operation of the amusement beach (similar to Coney Island) generated-in contrast to other real estate companies Steinway-from the first day. On the opening day of the amusement beach, the beach gastronomy went out in the evening; The visitors spontaneously agreed to go into the nearby Steinway worker settlement and “drink” it. Today’s Laguardia Airport is aimed at the west in the direction of the Steinway piano factory still used today. ^[15]

In 1929 the site was converted into an airfield and was called the name Glenn H. Curtiss Airport , later the airfield was in Curtiss-Wright Field renamed. It was bought by the city of New York in 1935 and renamed “North Beach Airport”. In addition, the site was expanded by the purchase of adjacent plots of land and with fillings. On September 9, 1937, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new airport took place. This was on October 15, 1939 as New York City Municipal Airport Inaugurated. Already on November 2, 1939 there was a renaming to New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field . On December 2, 1939, commercial flight operations were started at the airport. The first passenger terminal was called overseas terminal. It was built near Bowery Bay to enable usage by flight boats. Later it was renamed Marine Air Terminal.

On June 1, 1947, the airport was leased to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which has been running it since then. In the same year the renamed to LaGuardia Airport . On April 17, 1964, a new passenger terminal was put into operation with the Central Terminal Building, today this part of Terminal B. Three years later, an expansion was completed. Today’s Terminal D was also opened in June 1983, while in 1992 a renewed expansion of the Central Terminal Building was completed. On September 12, 1992, the US Airways Terminal, today’s Terminal C, was put into operation. In 2011 Delta Air Lines took over the US Airways Terminal, the following year it was connected to the Terminal D. ^{[16] [17]}

In July 2015, the city of New York announced that the airport should be completely renovated by 2021. The two-stage concept provides, among other things, the demolition of Terminal B and the new building and union of Terminals C and D at costs of around eight billion US dollars. The first renovation phase should cost about $ four billion and was completed in 2022. ^{[18] [19]} The new Terminal B was gradually put into operation between December 2018 and January 2022. ^[20] The new Terminal C was opened in June 2022. ^[21]
