A Legacy of Private Aviation
Originally called Glenn H. Curtiss Airport, the airport site was first occupied by the Gala Amusement Park, and. then it was renamed North Beach Airport. In 1937, New York City took over the airport and expanded the grounds with the purchase of adjoining land and by filling in 357 acres of waterfront along the east side. In 1939, it reopened with a new name, New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. The airport was leased to the Port Authority in 1947. A reconstruction and improvement program was started in 1957 and included a much larger, three-story terminal building out of which the six major airlines servicing LaGuardia would operate, along with a new control tower, a new southeast—northeast runway, a two-level terminal roadway, and an enlarged parking area next to the new terminal. Although LaGuardia was a large airport for the time in which it was built, it soon became too small. Starting in 1968, general aviation aircraft were charged heavy fees to operate from LaGuardia during peak hours, driving many operators to other nearby airports. In 2000, Congress passed legislation to revoke the federal traffic limits on LaGuardia by 2007. In late 2006, construction began to replace the outdated Wallace Harrison air traffic control tower with a more modern one. The tower began operations on October 9, 2010. In Dececmber of 2011, Delta Air Lines announced plans to open a new domestic hub at LaGuardia. The investment was the largest single expansion by any carrier at LaGuardia in decades, with flights increasing by more than 60%. By summer 2013, Delta increased operations to 264 daily flights between LaGuardia and more than 60 cities. It still remains one of the busiest aiports on the East Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to New York.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
