JetBlue marks new JFK terminal groundbreaking
JetBlue celebrated the groundbreaking of the $4.2 billion project for a new international Terminal 6 at New York JFK Airport.
The new Terminal will connect seamlessly with JetBlue’s current home at Terminal 5, adding gates for the airline.
It is a public-private partnership between the Port Authority and JFK Millennium Partners – a consortium that includes JetBlue.
“It was 23 years ago that JetBlue launched our first flights from our home at JFK,” said CEO Robin Hayes.
“We are so pleased to expand our presence with new gates in a new terminal.”
More than 7,000 JetBlue crewmembers are now based at JFK.
The new terminal will be developed in two phases, with the first new gates opening in 2026 and construction completion in 2028.
The 1.2 million-square-feet Terminal 6 will have capacity for 10 gates including nine wide body gates.
There will be more than 100,000 square feet of shopping and dining.
Touchless check-in and digital systems that will streamline the customer journey throughout the terminal.
This will include automated TSA security lanes, biometric access and a future proof design.
The Port Authority will commit $130 million in capital funding to build external infrastructure for Terminal 6.
