Gov. Kathy Hochul visited LaGuardia Airport Thursday afternoon to celebrate enhancements of the Healthy Terminals Act, which provides improved health care and leave benefits for workers at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International and LaGuardia airports.

Hochul gathered with airport workers and leaders from service workers unions SEIU 32BJ and UNITE HERE! to celebrate the expansion of the act, signed into law by Hochul in May after initially being approved in the long-overdue 2025-26 state budget.
