"I was reminded that LaGuardia is another example of high-density airspace where fresh controllers cannot be expected to work until they have gained significant field experience." - Jessica Puckett
"I noted that New York’s LaGuardia Airport was cited as an example from 2019 when fed-up air traffic controllers began calling out sick en masse—effectively ending the longest shutdown in US history—illustrating the real risk of similar widespread callouts now that controllers are required to work without pay." - Jessica Puckett
"I recall that during the 2019 shutdown, air traffic controllers at New York’s LaGuardia Airport began calling out sick en masse—an action that effectively ended that shutdown—and federal officials warn such mass sick calls could recur if staff are forced to work without pay." - Jessica Puckett
"Included in the Top 10 Airports in the US for the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, this airport received a score of 86.53." - Condé Nast Traveler
"LaGuardia’s $8 billion transformation has been remarkable: Terminal C is bright and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows and outposts of local restaurants like Bubby’s of Tribeca, while the expansive Terminal B offers greatly increased space for security—three times the previous area—with automated bin systems and advanced imaging technology, making the new LGA feel like an airport of the future." - CNT Editors, Hannah Towey
