New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), announced a $9.5 Billion Plan with Private Investment, Monday, to Rebuild Terminal One at JFK Airport, into a “state-of-the-art facility”. The Plan was Delayed for about Two years because of the Pandemic.

The 2.4-million-square-feet Terminal will be built on the current footprint of Terminals One, Two and Three, with Construction beginning in 2022.

The New Terminal will include 23 International Gates, that will Open over the next Decade: 14 Gates will Open by 2026, another Five by 2028, and the last Four between 2030 and 2032.

“When it is done, it will be an experience that is worthy of the name New York and worthy of the name John F. Kennedy,” Hochul said at a News Conference with Rick Cotton, the Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “Every penny that goes into the construction of the terminal itself will come from the private investors,” he said.

“This is our moment to shine,” Hochul said, asserting the New York area had to “dream big” after being “brought to our knees” by the Coronavirus.

Cotton said the Project would be a “fitting compliment” on the South-Side of the Airport to the Terminal Six Project on the North-Side, Construction on which begins next year.



Terminal One will have a Revamped Arrivals and Departure Hall, as well as Improvements to the Roadways outside the Airport. There will also be “best-in-class” Technology at Check-In and Security Lines, along with New York–Centric Concessions, Public Art Installations and Family-Friendly Amentities, Cotton said.
