LGA closure explained
Shortly after 10p.m., LaGuardia Airport announced that it would be closing within two hours.
A Port Authority spokesman said to not take the announcement literally.
Flights at LaGuardia typically don’t take off most days after midnight, although with the delays from the ground stop continuing to mount, that could change on Friday, the agency said.
But the airport will not actually close its doors and passengers, the spokesman said, can remain at LaGuardia for as long as they need.
