New Terminal One logo

 

The $9.5 billion New Terminal One is being built on sites now occupied by JFK’s Terminal 1 and the former Terminals 2 and 3, where it will anchor the international airport’s south side. Scheduled to open in phases from 2026, the New Terminal One will transform the international travel experience to and from New York. When complete in 2030, it will be the largest terminal at JFK, with 23 gates and more than 300,000 square feet of retail, dining and lounge space over a total footprint of 2.6 million square feet enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows.

 

The new terminal is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network. The New Terminal One is committed to local inclusion and labor participation, with the creation of 10,000 jobs and participation goals for local, minority and women-owned business enterprises in all categories of work.

FUTURE-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGIES

The new terminal will feature cutting-edge technology for a seamless passenger journey from curb to gate. All technologies are designed to be ADA-compliant.
