JetBlue Airways, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Fraport USA have announced renovation plans for Terminal 5 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The customer experience will be enhanced with more than 40 shops and restaurants, art installations, and a central concourse inspired by New York’s iconic parks. The renovation is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
This plan aligns with the Port Authority’s $19 billion renovation project, including 18 local eateries. The central concourse will feature lush greenery, park benches, concrete chess tables, and warm lighting to offer the charm of a relaxing urban park. It will also include an event space. Additionally, more than 30 art pieces by New York-based artists will be on display.
Terminal 5 opened in 2008 and was expanded in 2014. JetBlue Airways operates 165 flights per day, serving over 35,000 people. JetBlue is further expanding investments, including the connection of Terminal 6 and the addition of new lounges.
