Media Kit and Fact Sheet: Delta's LaGuardia Investment

DELTA’S INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT COAST TO COAST

  • Delta has spent the past decade investing more than $12 billion in airport hubs across the country, cementing our commitment to modernize and transform the travel experience. These facilities aren’t just beautiful and new – they're also expertly designed for optimal efficiency and speed, allowing travelers to navigate quickly, easily, and intuitively.
  • In fact, Delta opened Phase One of the Sky Way at LAX to customers on April 20, kicking off the multi-year infrastructure transformation at another one of its important coastal hubs.

THE DELTA SKY WAY AT LGA PROJECT

  • Delta and the PANYNJ are jointly investing $4 billion at LGA that will consolidate Terminals C and D into a state-of-the-art terminal facility, spanning 1.3 million square feet and featuring 37 gates across four concourses.
  • A transformed, efficient experience has been created at LGA’s brand-new Terminal C, and customerswill experience this transformation from the moment they arrive. A centralized check-in lobby, security checkpoint and baggage claim area is easy to navigate while providing customers with space to breathe.
  • Terminal C has been designed for optimal efficiency and speed, allowing New Yorkers to navigate to and from their gates quickly and intuitively, utilizing the latest technologies such as hands-free bag drop, self-serve check-in and Digital ID screening capabilities.

  • Delta has accelerated timelines and pulled the future forward even faster to give NYC and New Yorkers the airport it deserves. The entire four-concourse terminal will now be fully complete by the end of 2024, almost two years earlier than originally planned.  
  • Delta has invested nearly $7 billion in NYC airports since 2010, part of what’s earned our designation as New York’s No. 1 airline.
