LaGuardia AirportFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LaGuardia Airport (IATA: LGA, ICAO: KLGA, FAA LID:LGA) /ləˈɡwɑrdiə/ is an airport in the northern part of theNew York City borough of Queens. The airport is on thewaterfront of Flushing Bay and Bowery Bay, in East Elmhurstand borders the neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Astoria, andJackson Heights.

The New York City metropolitan area's JFK International,LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty International airports combineto create the largest airport system in the United States, secondin the world in terms of passenger traffic, and first in the worldin terms of total flight operations. In 2011 the airport handled

24.1 million passengers;[3] In 2013, LaGuardia Airport had astrong growth in passenger traffic; about 26.7 millionpassengers used the airport, a 6.6 percent increase from the

previous year.[4] JFK handled 50.4 million[1] and Newark

handled 35 million,[1] a total of about 112 million travelersusing New York airports; the second highest of any city in theworld after London, United Kingdom.

The airport is a hub for Delta Air Lines[5] and a focus city forAmerican Airlines and regional affiliate American Eagle.

LaGuardia is the busiest airport in the United States without

any non-stop service to Europe.[6] A perimeter rule prohibitsnonstop flights to or from points beyond 1,500 statute miles(2,400 km). Exceptions to the perimeter rule are flights onSaturdays and flights to Denver. Most transcontinental and

international flights use JFK or Newark.[7]

The airport was originally named Glenn H. Curtiss Airport

after aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss[8] then renamed

North Beach Airport,[9] The official name after New YorkCity's takeover and reconstruction was New York MunicipalAirport–LaGuardia Field, then in 1953 named solely"LaGuardia Airport" for Fiorello La Guardia, the mayor ofNew York when the airport was built.

LaGuardia has also been criticized for some of its outdatedfacilities. Vice President Joe Biden compared LaGuardia to a"third world country" and the airport has been ranked innumerous customer surveys as the worst in the United

States.[10] Among pilots, it is referred to as "USS LaGuardia",because the runways are short and surrounded by water, thus

giving the feel of attempting to land on an aircraft carrier.[11]

History

Construction

The current site of the airport was originally used by the Gala Amusement Park,owned by the Steinway family. It was razed and transformed in 1929 into a 105-acre (42 ha) private flying field named Glenn H. Curtiss Airport after the pioneer

Long Island aviator, and later called North Beach Airport.[9]

The initiative to develop the airport for commercial flights began with an outburstby New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia (in office from 1934 to 1945) upon thearrival of his TWA flight at Newark Airport – the only commercial airport servingthe New York City region at the time – as his ticket said "New York". Hedemanded to be taken to New York, and ordered the plane to be flown toBrooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, giving an impromptu press conference to reporters

along the way. He urged New Yorkers to support a new airport within their city.[9]

American Airlines accepted La Guardia's offer to start a pilot program ofscheduled flights to Floyd Bennett, although the program failed after several monthsbecause of Newark's better proximity to Manhattan. La Guardia went as far as tooffer police escorts to airport limousines in an attempt to get American Airlines tocontinue operating the pilot program.

Note both the new and old

control towers.

During the Floyd Bennett experiment La Guardia and American executives began an alternative plan to build a newairport in Queens, where it could take advantage of the new Queens–MidtownTunnel to Manhattan. The existing North Beach Airport was an obvious location,but much too small for the sort of airport that was being planned. With backing and

assistance from the Works Progress Administration, construction began in 1937.[12]

Building on the site required moving landfill from Rikers Island, then a garbagedump, onto a metal reinforcing framework. The framework below the airport stillcauses magnetic interference on the compasses of outgoing aircraft: signs on the

airfield warn pilots about the problem.[13]

Because of American's pivotal role in the development of the airport, LaGuardiagave the airline extra real estate during the airport's first year of operation,including four hangars (an unprecedented amount of space at the time). Americanalso opened its first Admirals Club (and the first private airline club in the world)

at the airport in 1939. The club's space was originally a large office space reserved for the mayor, but afterreceiving criticism in the press, LaGuardia offered to lease out the space, and American vice president Red Mosier

immediately accepted the offer.[14]

The airport was dedicated on October 15, 1939, as the New York Municipal Airport and opened for business on

December 2 of that year.[9] It cost New York City $23 million to turn the tiny North Beach Airport into a 550-acre(220 ha) modern facility. Not everyone was as enthusiastic as La Guardia about the project, some regarded it as a$40 million boondoggle. But the public was fascinated by the very idea of air travel, and thousands traveled to theairport, paid the dime fee, and watched the airliners take off and land. Two years later these fees and theirassociated parking had already provided $285,000, and other non-travel related incomes (food, etc.) were another$650,000 a year. The airport was soon a huge financial success. A smaller airport located in adjacent JacksonHeights, Holmes Airport, was unable to prevent the expansion of the larger airport and it closed in 1940.

in 1961

Newark Airport began renovations, but could not keep up with the new Queensairport, which TIME called "the most pretentious land and seaplane base in theworld." Even before the project was completed LaGuardia had won commitmentsfrom the five largest airlines (Pan American Airways, American, United, EasternAir Lines and Transcontinental & Western Air) that they would begin using the new

field as soon as it opened.[15] The airport was used during World War II as atraining facility for aviation technicians and as a logistics field. Transatlanticlandplane airline flights started in late 1945; some continued after Idlewild openedin July 1948, but the last ones shifted to Idlewild in April 1951.

Newspaper accounts alternately referred to the airfield as New York MunicipalAirport and LaGuardia Field until the modern name was officially applied when the airport moved to Port of NewYork Authority control under a lease with New York City on June 1, 1947.

LaGuardia opened with four runways at 45-degree angles to each other,[16] thelongest (13/31) being 6,000 ft (1,800 m). Runway 18/36 was closed soon after aUnited DC-4 ran off the south end in 1947; runway 9/27 (4500 ft) was closedaround 1958, allowing LaGuardia's terminal to expand northward after 1960. Circa1961 runway 13/31 was shifted northeastward to allow construction of a paralleltaxiway (such amenities being unknown when LGA was built) and in 1965–66 bothremaining runways were extended to their present 7,000 ft (2,100 m).

The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 283 weekday fixed-wing departuresfrom LaGuardia: 126 American, 49 Eastern, 33 Northeast, 31 TWA, 29 Capital and15 United. American's flights included 26 nonstops to Boston and 27 to Washington

National (mostly Convair 240s).[17] Jet flights (United 727s to Cleveland andChicago) started on June 1, 1964.

Later development

Although LaGuardia was a large airport for the era in which it was built, it soonbecame too small. Starting in 1968 general aviation aircraft were charged heavyfees to operate from LaGuardia during peak hours, driving many GA operators toairports such as Teterboro Airport in Teterboro, New Jersey. The increase intraffic at LaGuardia and safety concerns prompted the closure of nearby FlushingAirport in 1984. Also in 1984, to further combat overcrowding at LGA, the PortAuthority instituted a Sunday-thru-Friday "perimeter rule" banning nonstop flightsfrom LaGuardia to cities more than 1,500 miles (2,400 km) away; at the time,Denver was the only such city with nonstop flights, and it became the onlyexception to the rule. (In 1986 Western Airlines hoped to fly 737-300s nonstop toSalt Lake City and unsuccessfully challenged the rule in federal court). Later, thePort Authority also moved to connect JFK and Newark Airport to regional rail networks with the AirTrain Newark

and AirTrain JFK, in an attempt to make these more distant airports competitive with LaGuardia.[18] In addition tothese local regulations, the FAA also limited the number of flights and types of aircraft that could operate atLaGuardia (see 14 CFR § 193).

LaGuardia's traffic continued to grow. By 2000, the airport routinely experienced overcrowding delays, many morethan an hour long. That year, Congress passed legislation to revoke the federal traffic limits on LaGuardia by 2007.The reduced demand for air travel following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City quicklyslowed LaGuardia's traffic growth, helping to mitigate the airport's delays. Ongoing Port Authority investments torenovate the Central Terminal Building and improve the airfield layout have also made the airport's operations moreefficient in recent years.

FAA approved Instrument Departure Procedure "Whitestone Climb" and the "Expressway Visual Approach toRunway 31" which both overfly Citi Field. In the name of safety when New York Mets games are in progress, theseprocedures are not supposed to be used, but are anyway.

In late 2006, construction began to replace the air traffic control tower built in

Delta–US Airways slot swap

On August 12, 2009, Delta Air Lines and US Airways announced a landing slot andterminal swap in separate press releases. Under the swap plan, US Airways wouldhave given Delta 125 operating slot pairs at LaGuardia. US Airways, in return,would have received 42 operating slot pairs at Ronald Reagan National Airport inWashington, D.C., and be granted the authority to begin service from the US to SãoPaulo, Brazil and Tokyo, Japan. When the swap plan was complete, Delta Shuttleoperations would have moved from the Marine Air Terminal to Terminal C (thepresent US Airways terminal), and Terminals C and D would have been connectedtogether. US Airways Shuttle flights would have moved to the Marine AirTerminal, and mainline US Airways flights would have moved to Terminal D (the

present Delta terminal).[20][21] The United States Department of Transportationannounced that they would approve the Delta/US Airways transaction under thecondition that they sell slots to other airlines. Delta and US Airways dropped the slot swap deal in early July 2010

and both airlines have filed a court appeal.[22] In May 2011, both airlines announced that they will resubmit their

proposal of the slot swap to the US DOT. It was tentatively approved by the US DOT on July 21, 2011.[23] The slot

swap received final approval from the US DOT on October 10, 2011.[24]

On December 16, 2011, Delta Air Lines announced plans to open a new domestic hub at LaGuardia Airport. Theinvestment will be the largest single expansion by any carrier at LaGuardia in decades, with total flights increasingby more than 60 percent, and total destinations by more than 75 percent. By summer 2013, Delta will operate 264

daily flights between LaGuardia and more than 60 cities, more than any other airline.[25]

Marine Air Terminal in 1974

Delta will invest $100 million to renovate terminals C and D in LaGuardia, where it will operate a total of 32 gates.A 600-foot connector bridge has been built, linking the two terminals. Delta also will convert the existing USAirways lounge in Terminal C to a Delta Sky Club, while continuing to operate its current Sky Club in Terminal D.US Airways will build a new club, placed next door to their old lounge.

Terminals

LaGuardia has four terminals connected by buses and walkways. Signage throughout the terminals was designed by

Paul Mijksenaar.[26] As with the other Port Authority airports, some terminals at LaGuardia are managed andmaintained by airlines themselves. Terminals C and D and most of Terminal A are operated by Delta Air Lines,with Terminal B under direct Port Authority operation.

Terminal A

The Marine Air Terminal (MAT) was the airport's original terminal for overseasflights. The waterside terminal was designed to serve the fleet of flying boats, orClippers, of Pan American Airways, America's main international airlinethroughout the 1930s and 1940s. When a Clipper would land in Long Island Sound,it would taxi up to a dock where passengers would disembark into the terminal.During World War II new four-engine land planes were developed, and flyingboats stopped carrying scheduled passengers out of New York after 1947. The lastPan American flight left the terminal in February 1952, bound for Bermuda.

The terminal is home of the largest mural created during the Roosevelt-era WorksProgress Administration (WPA) Federal Arts Program. Created by New York artistJames Brooks, the mural, Flight, encircles the upper rotunda walls, telling the story of man's conquest of theheavens up through 1942 when the work was completed. During the 1950s, many WPA artists were thought to be incollusion with Communists. Several works of art that had been created for post offices and other public facilities

were therefore destroyed. Likewise, Flight was completely painted over with wall paint by the Port Authority ofNew York & New Jersey. In the late 1970s, Geoffrey Arend, an aviation historian and author of Great Airports:LaGuardia, mounted a campaign to restore the mural to its original splendor. With the help of Brooks, LaGuardiaAirport manager Tim Peirce, and donations from Reader's Digest founders DeWitt Wallace and LauranceRockefeller, Flight was rededicated in 1980.

In 1986, Pan Am restarted flights at the MAT with the purchase of New York Air's shuttle service between Boston,New York City, and Washington, D.C. In 1991, Delta Air Lines bought the Pan Am Shuttle and subsequently startedservice from the MAT on September 1. In 1995, the MAT was designated as a historic landmark. A$7 millionrestoration was completed in time for the airport's 65th anniversary of commercial flights on December 2, 2004.Along with the Delta Shuttle, general aviation operates from the terminal through fixed based operator Sheltair.

Terminal B

The Central Terminal Building (CTB) serves most of LaGuardia's domesticairlines. It is six blocks long, consisting of a four-story central section, two three-

story wings and four concourses (A, B, C, and D) with 40 aircraft gates.[27] The$36 million facility designed by Harrison & Abramovitz was dedicated on April

17, 1964.[28] Delta and US Airways left the CTB in 1983 and 1992 respectively totheir own dedicated terminals on the east side of the airport. The Port Authority andvarious airlines have carried out a $340 million improvement project in the 1990s

and early 2000s (decade) to expand and renovate the existing space.[27]

Terminal C

19/6/2014 LaGuardia Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaGuardia_Airport 11/28

Terminal C

Terminal C, the 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m2), designed by William Nicholas Bodouva + Associates Architectsand Planners, was opened September 12, 1992, at a cost of $250 million. The original tenant was intended to beEastern Airlines, but when Eastern was forcibly bankrupt in an effort by parent TexasAir Corporation to merge its assets with that of sister airline Continental Airlines,Continental assumed the leases. Continental never moved in, as it sold its leases andmost of its LaGuardia slots to US Airways as part of Continental's bankruptcy

restructuring.[29] Trump Shuttle, successor to Eastern Airlines Shuttle, also occupiedthe terminal before becoming part of US Airways. The Port Authority of New Yorkand New Jersey says that the terminal handles approximately 50% of regional airliner

traffic at LaGuardia.[27]

As a result of a slot-swap deal between Delta Air Lines and US Airways, as of July2012, Delta occupies the majority of the terminal (gates C15–C34). Along with Delta, WestJet operates fromterminal C from a Delta-owned gate (C34), while US Airways now only operates from gates C35–C44.

Terminal D

Terminal D, opened on June 19, 1983, at a cost of approximately $90 million and designed by William NicholasBodouva + Associates Architects. It was designed to accommodate Delta's new Boeing 757 and Boeing 767

aircraft.[30]

The terminal was connected to Terminal C by a 600-foot walkway that opened in early 2013, part of Delta's effortto build a hub at LaGuardia.

Terminal redevelopment

19/6/2014 LaGuardia Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaGuardia_Airport 12/28

In April 2010, Port Authority director Christopher Ward announced that the agency had hired consultants to explorea full demolition and rebuilding of LaGuardia's Central Terminal. The project would create a unified, modern, andefficient plan for the airport, currently an amalgam of decades of additions and modifications. The project, expectedto cost 2.4 billion US dollars, will include the demolition of the existing central terminal building and its fourconcourses, garage, Hangar 1, and frontage roads; building temporary facilities; and designing and building a new

central terminal building.[31] The rebuilding would be staged in phases in order to maintain operations throughout

the project.[32] Construction of the new terminal is expected to begin in 2014.[33]

Proposals were due January 31, 2012. Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority, said, "It's got a quaint,

nostalgic but unacceptable kind of 1940s, 1950s feel that's just not acceptable."[34] The Port Authority was seeing aprivate company to develop and operate the replacement terminal with private funds, similar to how Delta operatesthe other terminals at the airport. However, in January 2014, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a plan for thestate to oversee construction of the long-stalled new terminal project instead of the proposed public-private

partnership.[35]

Subway

Currently, no New York City Subway routes service the airport directly, but provisions for a subway connection are

part of a 2014 long range rebuilding plan by its operator, the MTA.[45] A similar plan to bring BMT Astoria Line

Accidents and incidents

On February 1, 1957, Northeast Airlines Flight 823 crashed on takeoff into Rikers Island. Of 101 people

aboard, 21 were killed.[47]

On February 3, 1959, American Airlines Flight 320 crashed on approach into the East River. Of 73 people

aboard, 65 were killed.[48]

On December 16, 1960, TWA Flight 266, a Lockheed Super Constellation bound for La Guardia, collided with

a United Airlines Douglas DC-8 over Staten Island, killing all 128 people on board both airliners and 6 more

on the ground.

On January 4, 1971, Douglas C-47A N7 of the Federal Aviation Administration crashed on approach to

LaGuardia Airport. The aircraft was on a flight from Johnstown–Cambria County Airport, Johnstown,

Pennsylvania. The cause of the accident was wind shear.[49]

On December 29, 1975, at 6:33 p.m. EST,[50] a bomb with the equivalent force of 25 sticks of dynamite

19/6/2014 LaGuardia Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaGuardia_Airport 19/28

exploded in the main terminal, killing 11 and injuring 75. The victims included travelers, limousine drivers,

and airline employees. It was the deadliest bombing in New York City since the Wall Street bombing of

1920.[51] The bomb had been placed in a Trans World Airlines locker adjacent to a luggage carousel. The

force of the explosion wrecked luggage carousels and destroyed the terminal 's large metal doors and showered

the area with shards of metal and broken glass.[51] At the time, suspects included the FALN, the Jewish

Defense League, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and the Croatian nationalist Zvonko Busic; two

similar bombings at New York's Grand Central Terminal previously had been attributed to Croatians.[51] No

one ever claimed credit for the bombing or was arrested for it, and it remains unsolved.[51][52]

On September 21, 1989, USAir Flight 5050 bound for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport in Charlotte,

North Carolina, crashed after aborting takeoff and rolling off the end of the runway into the East River. The

plane broke into three pieces, and two passengers died as a result.[53]

On March 22, 1992, USAir Flight 405 bound for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Cleveland, Ohio,

crashed on takeoff at LaGuardia because of icing on its wings. Of 51 people aboard, 27 were killed.[54]

On March 2, 1994, Continental Airlines Flight 705 to Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado,

aborted takeoff in a snowstorm and skidded down the runway into a ditch.[55]

On March 21, 2003, Authorities discovered a suspicious package containing an unknown powdery substance at

LaGuardia Airport and partially evacuated the main terminal. 10 people were apparently sickened by the

unknown substance and were treated at the scene. The substance was discovered at about 1 p.m. during the

19/6/2014 LaGuardia Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaGuardia_Airport 20/28

search of a handbag at an American Airlines section of the terminal.[56] The media reported differing facts and

the story was removed from several sites leading to questions about what really happened.[57]

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320 departing for Charlotte/Douglas International

Airport ditched in the Hudson River at a gradual angle after losing both engines as a result of multiple bird

strikes at an altitude of 3,000 feet (910 m); all 150 passengers (12 in first class and 138 in economy) and 5

crew members (2 pilots and 3 flight attendants) were successfully evacuated from a safe water ditch.[58][59]

On July 22, 2013, Southwest Airlines Flight 345, originating from Nashville International Airport, had its nose

landing gear collapsed as the aircraft touched down onto runway 04. Of 150 people aboard, 6 passengers and 5

crews suffered injuries.[60]
