Delta takes lid off next phase of JFK expansion
Delta Air Lines, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK International Air Terminal have announced continued expansion at the airport’s Terminal 4. A $175 million project will add 11 gates and 75,000 square feet to Terminal 4 on Concourse B. Delta has also announced an additional $5 million for information technology enhancements at the airport. The project continues on the previously announced $1.2 billion redevelopment project at Terminal 4, set to open this May.
With the new expansion, Terminal 4’s Concourse B will house 27 Delta gates and replace Delta’s current Terminal 2 regional jet operation.
Each of the new gates will feature a dedicated boarding counter, seating area and jet bridge. The airline says this will eliminate the need for ramp level boarding, which currently exists at Terminal 2. All gates will be designed to accommodate two-class regional jets as well as provide flexibility for gating additional mainline aircraft.
The expansion builds on Delta’s previously announced $1.2 billion Terminal 4 redevelopment opening in May. That expansion, which is now 90 percent complete, features nine new and seven renovated international gates; improved and renovated check-in areas, new dining and retail offerings; a new 24,000 square-foot flagship Delta Sky Club with a Sky Deck outdoor terrace; dual taxiways for less congestion and shorter taxi times; and what Delta promises will be improved Customs and Border Protection and baggage claim facilities.
The expanded Terminal 4 replaces the Terminal 3 facilities which will be demolished by the summer of 2015. The Terminal 3 site will then be used for aircraft parking.
