Forbes Travel Guide awarded LaGuardia Airport the title of the best airport in the nation based on input from hospitality experts and frequent travelers. Port Authority's Executive Director, Rick Cotton, accepted the award for the airport, which has undergone an $8 billion transformation since 2016. This redevelopment aimed to elevate LaGuardia from its previous status as one of the worst airports to a highly regarded travel facility. Celebratory comments from Queens' officials highlighted the significant positive changes achieved through the redevelopment efforts.
"Ten years ago, we committed to building a world-class airport. I doubt we had many true believers, but I think we have won the skeptics over," Cotton said.
"The redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport has turned what was once a dilapidated and depressing facility into what is now truly the best airport in America," Richards said.
"The Forbes Travel Guide award is a significant honor as it reflects the consensus of thousands of hospitality and travel experts, recognizing our transformation efforts."
"We have created a new LaGuardia airport that is no longer a national laughingstock but something our entire region and country can be proud of."
