• LGA Airport Overview
  LaGuardia Airport LGA has been operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with the City of New York since June 1, 1947. It is located in the Borough of Queens, New York City, bordering on the Flushing and Bowery Bays, and is eight miles from midtown Manhattan. LGA airport is the main domestic airport of New York City. A perimeter rule prohibits incoming and outgoing flights that exceed 1,500 miles, so most transcontinental and international flights use the other major New York area airports, JFK Airport or Newark Liberty Airport. However, LaGuardia is still served by over 20 airlines and offers nonstop daily flights to numerous destinations in the U.S. and Canada. There are also seasonal flights to the Bahamas and Bermuda. In the late 90s, LaGuardia routinely experienced overcrowding-related delays, but the crush of passengers has been alleviated in recent years due to the September 11th tragedy and expansion projects that have increased the airport’s capacity. La Guardia LGA airport consists of four terminals: the Central Terminal (Concourses A - D), the Delta Terminal, the US Airways Terminal, and the Marine Terminal (used by Delta Shuttle only).
