On Airport: JFK Redevelopment Update
Facilities
The groundbreaking event occurred recently for a $9.5 billion, privately financed New Terminal One. It represents a 2.4 million square foot, a state-of-the-art new international terminal that will anchor the south side of John F. Kennedy International Airport and create 10,000 jobs, including 6,000 jobs in construction.
As reported by Metropolitan Airport News, the New Terminal One will be built on the sites of the current undersized and outdated Terminal 1, the aging and obsolete 60-year-old Terminal 2, and the site of the former Terminal 3, which was demolished in 2014. In order to maintain full flight operations during construction, the demolition of old structures will be coordinated with the opening of new facilities. Work will begin at the vacant Terminal 3 site. Terminal 2 will be demolished after Delta Air Lines consolidates its operations at a newly expanded and modernized Terminal 4 in 2023. The current Terminal 1 will be torn down after the first phase of the New Terminal One is completed in 2026, allowing the second phase of the project to move forward.
