About the project

JFK International Airport is undergoing a roughly $19 billion transformation, the largest redevelopment in the airport's history, led by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey with private partners. Centerpieces include the 2.4-million-square-foot New Terminal One — a 23-gate international hub developed by the New Terminal One consortium — and the $4.2 billion Terminal 6, built by JFK Millennium Partners (RXR, American Triple I, and JetBlue). Both terminals are opening in phases in 2026, with additional gates, roadways, and infrastructure improvements continuing toward full completion later in the decade. The program adds naturally lit public spaces, expanded widebody gates, new lounges, and modern passenger amenities.
