JetBlue outlines major upgrades for Terminal Five at JFK Airport

One notable feature of the redesign is a brand-new green space equipped with trees, plants, park benches, concrete chess tables, and warm lighting to evoke the charm of city parks.

The concourse gallery will display at least 30 artworks by New York City-

based artists. "Great works of public art are a signature part of our strategy to build new, world-class airport terminals," said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.

The functional redesign aims to streamline flow within Terminal 5 with improved signage, security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, and advanced technology reducing congestion and wait times.

"This historic investment to modernize JFK Airport... will ensure JFK joins the ranks as one of the finest airports in the world," said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Expanded dining options include both international brands and local favorites such as Eataly, Shake Shack, Serafina among others. "Together we share a bold vision," said Sabine Trenk CEO of Fraport USA.

Local businesses will also have opportunities under federal programs aimed at driving economic growth while representing local culture."The historic $19 billion redevelopment...continues paying incredible dividends," noted Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr..

"I am thrilled see this transformative project take flight," added US Representative Gregory Meeks from New York.
