JetBlue, along with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and contractor Fraport USA announced a major refresh of Terminal 5.

The development will see more than 40 new concessions and amenities, including art installations and a redesigned center concourse.

The first new concessions are expected to open throughout 2025 with the terminal improvements completed by the end of 2026.

JetBlue’s Terminal 5 improvements will spotlight locally owned businesses.

It includes more than 18 new local food and beverage options.

At the heart of Terminal 5, the center concourse will transform into a space inspired NYC’s famous parks.

There will be greenery, park benches, concrete chess tables, and warm lighting.

The redesigned center concourse will also feature a dedicated space for pop-up experiences and interactive events.

Additionally, an art collection featuring more than 30 works by New York-based artists will be displayed throughout the terminal.

“When it opened, Terminal 5 set a new standard for customer-focused airport design that reflected our mission of bringing humanity back to air travel,” said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue.

“Now, in support of the Port Authority’s plan to redevelop JFK, we look forward to further enhancing the experience for all.”

“We are proud to build upon our collaboration with JetBlue and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to reimagine and elevate JFK Terminal 5,” said Sabine Trenk, CEO of Fraport USA Inc.

JetBlue, Fraport USA, and the Port Authority are actively collaborating with the JFK Redevelopment Community Advisory Council to ensure that the investment in Terminal 5 leads to economic growth and opportunities in the communities surrounding the airport.

Terminal 5 opened in 2008 and was further expanded in 2014.

Today, it serves 165 JetBlue flights and more than 35,000 customers per day.
