More than 28 million passengers a year use La Guardia, making it one of the 20 busiest airports in the country. The rebuilding plans include replacing the central terminal, known as Terminal B, by razing a nearby parking garage and erecting a new central terminal in its place. But many who have flown into or out of La Guardia this summer might argue that goal has been missed by a wide margin. Kenny Weiss, who lives in Haworth, N.J., said he was dropping off a friend at La Guardia when he saw some harried travelers on an exit ramp. He said a driver with the car service Uber had told him that other drivers were avoiding La Guardia because of the worsening situation.
