History

Opened December 1939 as New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field, named for Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. Restricted by FAA perimeter rule to flights of 1,500 miles or less (with limited exceptions), making it a domestic-only operation despite its proximity to Manhattan. A multi-billion-dollar reconstruction completed 2022 replaced the dated central terminal with two new pier complexes. Delta and American both run focus operations here; JetBlue maintains a smaller presence.

More about this airport

About this profile

Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.

Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.

This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
