JetBlue, PANYNJ, Fraport Partner on Improvements to JFK Airport Terminal 5

JetBlue, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Fraport USA, manager of John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 5, will partner on a major refresh of the airline’s flagship terminal. The refresh includes more than 40 new concessions and new amenities, including art installations and a redesigned center concourse inspired by New York’s parks.

The first new concessions are expected to open throughout 2025, with the terminal improvements completed by the end of 2026.

“JetBlue and Fraport’s commitment to delivering world-class amenities and concessions to our customers aligns with the Port Authority’s goal of transforming JFK into one of the world’s great global gateways,” said Port Authority executive director Rick Cotton. “Creating a uniquely New York sense of place at JFK through the additions of iconic local concessions, art and design will make this terminal a memorable part of the customer journey through our region.”
