Port Authority Opens First New Cargo Facility at JFK in 25 Years
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in partnership with Realterm and Worldwide Flight Services, commemorated the opening of a $270-million consolidated cargo handling center at John F. Kennedy International Airport. As the first new cargo facility at JFK in 25 years, the new cargo center will consolidate operations from four separate cargo zones into a single modernized location, streamlining operations and unlocking space for future development.
Operated by WFS, JFK’s primary cargo handler, the 350,000-square-foot facility spans 26 acres and replaces two older facilities. The new cargo center is the first step in the Port Authority’s broader redevelopment plans for the airport’s north cargo area.
“By replacing outdated facilities with a modern cargo center, we’re preparing for the future and improving efficiency and sustainability at JFK,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “JFK plays a central role in global commerce, and this modern consolidated cargo center strengthens its position as a key gateway for high-value goods and international trade.”
