Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Thursday, 5 August 2010

Delta Air Lines is reinventing the customer dining experience at New York's LaGuardia Airport with the introduction of 13 new food and beverage concepts throughout its main terminal facility beginning this fall.

Developed exclusively for Delta by airport restaurateur, OTG Management, the LaGuardia upgrade is one of several major investments being made by the airline in New York.

"As part of our aggressive plan to invest and improve our main terminal at LaGuardia, Delta is fully committed to enhancing the experience for our New York customers with superior amenities that include outstanding food and beverage choices," said Gail Grimmett, Delta's senior vice president New York. "We're confident that the unique concepts we're developing with OTG at LaGuardia will reinforce our efforts to become New York's preferred airline, offering our passengers the best customer experience available in airport dining."

OTG Management will own and operate each of the new dining establishments and has assembled a group of New York City's top chefs - including Riad Nasr, Lee Hanson, Michael Lomonaco, Dominick DeMarco, Jamison Blankenship, Jim Lahey and Jason Denton - as well as restaurateurs Chris Cannon and Garrett Oliver to create restaurant concepts that are exclusive to Delta's main terminal at LaGuardia.

The new dining experience will include 13 distinct food and beverage concepts and brands, an expansive gourmet food hall, coffee bars and a wine bar. The redesign will launch in phases, starting 21 August 2010, with full redevelopment of the space expected to be complete by summer 2011.

"OTG is committed to reinventing the airport dining experience and establishing a new, higher standard for food and beverage that is offered to travelers," said Rick Blatstein, CEO, OTG Management. "At Delta's LaGuardia facility, we will deliver an authentic New York culinary experience with offerings created by the city's top chefs for all of Delta's customers."
