Turkish Airlines set for new terminal at JFK Airport by 2026

The existing Terminal 1 has been significant for international flights in and out of New York for many years. It hosts several airlines including Air France, EVA Air, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Royal Air Maroc, Saudia, SWISS, and TAP Air Portugal.

The new Terminal One project is part of a $19 billion modernization effort by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey aimed at transforming JFK Airport into a world-class gateway. The redevelopment includes building on sites occupied by Terminals 1, 2, and 3 with new arrivals and departure halls along with fourteen gates expected in the first phase by 2026.

This initiative seeks to improve passenger experiences through open spaces and various amenities while also reworking road networks for better ground transportation access.

Community engagement forms a crucial aspect of this redevelopment plan. According to A New JFK: "The JFK Redevelopment Program (JFKR) has assembled a Community Outreach Team that serves as a touchpoint for the community to be actively engaged in the redevelopment program as well as obtain project information and explore job and business opportunities."

In summary, Turkish Airlines' integration into JFK's new terminal marks another step towards enhancing services at this major international airport hub.
