“#Building demolished at LaGuardia Airport during $8B overhaul”
Construction crews began tearing down a building once used to store airplanes at the Queens travel hub as part of a sweeping $8 billion renovation, according to photos and officials.
Workers used clawed demolition vehicles to rip down parts of the structure — known as Hangar 1 and formerly occupied by American Airlines — to make more aircraft taxiing space and ultimately reduce travel delays, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
“[It’s] the latest step in the $8 billion transformation of LaGuardia Airport into a state-of-the-art, 21st century airport,” the agency said in a statement.
The dramatic demolition photos show the building’s walls reduced to rubble as workers survey the site while high on machines.
The work comes after an improved Terminal B concourse, complete with a Shake Shack and FAO Schwarz, was unveiled as part of the project in 2018.
The Hangar 1 building was built for the original opening of LaGuardia Airport in 1939.
