LaGuardia Airport in New York gets a facelift. See who made it possible

The old Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport in New York houses a few airlines, including Air Canada, JetBlue, United, Southwest and American. Terminal B is infamously known for its leaking roof, narrow walkways, low and ugly ceilings and birds. Many things were said about LaGuardia, with Joe Biden once calling it "third-world." It felt like it would take decades and billions to fix it. The fixing also required a joint effort by LaGuardia Gateway Partners and the Port Authority. Scremin said he found the airport interesting for all it was.

The word "interesting" is not something many people would think of to describe LaGuardia. He and his team worked and kept the terminal running while working on a new terminal. LaGuardia transformed from 2016 to now, and had ORAT-focused five employees, who rotated 12-hour shifts. They ensured there was coverage 24 hours and at crucial periods.

It was the glue that held it all together as they all coordinated between operations and construction teams for a smooth transition. The team ensured every corner of the airport was transformed and there was no deficiency. They would even direct traffic when there was excessive honking. The team managed it all and solved it all.
