A group led by Swedish construction company Skanska AB and a Vancouver-based airport operator were selected to help finance, build and manage a $3.6 billion replacement for LaGuardia Airport’s 50-year-old central terminal.
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which operates the three major New York City-area airports, made the selection almost two years after soliciting bids. The plans for LaGuardia, likened by Vice President Joe Biden to a facility in a third-world country, call for a new 35-gate terminal with more restaurants and lounges, stores, bigger gate areas and improved passenger and baggage screening.
