John F Kennedy International Airport is teaming up with China’s flag airline Air China to enhance passenger experience.
The New Terminal One is being built as part of a $19 billion redevelopment of the airport currently being undertaken by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and is scheduled to open in June 2026.
Built on the south side of JFK airport, the terminal will be the largest international terminal at the airport when complete, offering 23 gates over a 2.4 million square feet footprint.
Following the new partnership, Air China, which currently uses the existing Terminal 1 at JFK Airport, will collaborate with the airport’s operators to improve the travel experience for Chinese travellers.
The New Terminal One at JFK CEO Jennifer Aument said: “We are honoured to collaborate with our colleagues at Air China to jointly deliver an extraordinary travel experience for Chinese customers visiting New York.
“Service to the Asia Pacific region is a strong priority for us and we are delighted to learn from Air China as we position ourselves to be the international terminal of choice for Chinese travellers to New York.”
Air China New York general manager Zhiyong Wang added: “New York is one of our most important markets globally and we are committed to offering our customers a world-class travel experience when they fly to the Big Apple.
“Our partnership with The New Terminal One will create mutual benefits as we continue to evaluate our growth in this key market.”
