The East Side Airline Terminal was one of three air terminals in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Opening in 1953, and occupying the full block west of 1st Avenue between 37th Street and 38th Street, the East Side Airline Terminal served as a location where passengers could purchase tickets and check baggage before boarding buses that would transport them to JFK Airport, LaGuardia Airport, or Newark Airport.[1][2][3] Bus operations at the terminal ended in 1984. The building was sold to private developers in 1985 and was largely incorporated into the base of a new 57-story apartment building built on the site.
