Delta Air Lines and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey broke ground on the $1.2 billion project that will enhance and expand Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport on 19 November 2010. The Terminal 4 expansion project will make Delta Airlines its biggest customer.
Currently, Delta operates predominantly out of Terminal 2 for its domestic flights and Terminal 3, internationally. The expansion of Terminal 4 will replace the outdated Terminal 3 facilities and enhance the customer experience for the 11 million passengers Delta serves at JFK annually.
The expanded Terminal 4 will have nine new international gates on the B Concourse. Customers will also benefit from enhanced baggage claim areas, and expanded Customs and Border Protection area. In addition, the consolidation of two passenger security checkpoints will create a more efficient, passenger-friendly, post-security environment for retail and food and beverage offerings.
With construction underway, completion of phase one and relocation of Delta’s Terminal 3 operations to Terminal 4 is anticipated in May 2013.
JFKIAT LLC, which operates Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, is a 100% subsidiary of Schiphol USA (SUSA), a company within the Amsterdam-based Schiphol Group, an airport operator. JFKIAT is the only private, non-airline company to be selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to operate a terminal at JFK.
