Transforming JFK for the 21st Century
Based on the recommendations of the Governor’s Airport Advisory Panel, Governor Cuomo announced his vision plan to transform the John F. Kennedy International Airport to meet the demands of the 21st Century. The vision plan addresses three key areas: transforming JFK into a unified, interconnected, world-class airport; improving road access to the airport; and expanding rail mass transit to meet projected passenger growth.
In October 2018, Governor Cuomo advanced this vision with the announcement of a $13 billion investment to transform JFK. The reimagined airport will be anchored by two new world-class international terminal complexes on the airport's north and south sides. The first new gates will go live in 2023 with projected completion in 2025.
