Name of the Project
JFK Airport Terminal 4 expansion project.

Location
New York City, in the US.

Project Owner/s
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Project Description
The expansion will unify domestic airline Delta Airlines’ operations.

The project will modernise and expand the existing terminal, adding more than 14 000 m² and ten new gates, serving primarily regional and domestic flights.

The project will also expand and upgrade the arrivals and departures hall to improve the ticketing, baggage claim and arrivals areas, as well as security checkpoints. Delta currently operates out of Terminal 4 and Terminal 2, and this expansion will enable Delta to consolidate all its JFK operations at Terminal 4. 

The consolidation will allow for more seamless connections on many of Delta's partner airlines. The project will include expanded seating areas and concessions, modern wayfinding, and new or upgraded restrooms designed with travellers in mind. The expansion project also includes a new Delta lounge in Terminal 4's Concourse A. 

The expansion will further enhance the terminal's offerings for its almost 30 airline partners, with technologies ensuring expedited and seamless passenger processing capabilities. Additional food options and other amenities will ensure passenger comfort and convenience.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create more than 1 500 employment opportunities, including more than 1 000 union construction jobs.

Capital Expenditure
$1.5-billion, which is being financed by private capital.

Planned Start/End Date
The project was initially approved by the port authority board in February 2020, but the plan was revised, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The project is expected to be completed in 2023.
