45In October 2018, New York Governor An-
drew Cuomo announced the city’s plan for a
$13 billion investment in JFK, 90 percent of
which is being privately funded.
The project will add international terminal
complexes on the airport’s north and south
sides, increasing capacity by 15 million
passengers a year.
Terminal One will occupy the site of the
current terminals 1 and 2, and the former
Terminal 3. It will span 229,271 sq. ft. with
23 gates, and is targeting a 2025 full opening.
Also set to open in 2025 is Terminal 6,
which will be low-cost carrier JetBlue’s new
home. It will have 12 gates across more than
73,000 sq. ft.
Meanwhile British Airways and American
Airlines are spending $344 million over
the next four years to refurbish Terminal 8,
which they will share.
Cuomo also says JFK will get improved
road access and expanded rail links to accom-
modate its growth.
