The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected to build and operate the highly anticipated $4.2 billion Terminal 6 (T6) at John F. Kennedy International Airport, today announced that 18 artists have been selected to debut new public art commissions when the terminal opens to passengers in 2026. The art program is led by Public Art Fund, the independent nonprofit organization dedicated to art in public spaces. The featured artists, including 10 from New York City, will capture the spirit of New York with a diverse range of artworks that will be seamlessly integrated into the terminal. Sculptures, suspended installations, wall works, and glass mosaic floor medallions will create a unique New York sense of place.

The project supports the Port Authority’s vision to create a world-class passenger experience at JFK, as it has done at the award-winning, internationally recognized terminals at the new LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport’s Terminal A, through inspirational public art, operational excellence, 21st century technology and world-class functionality.

The new Terminal 6 is a key component of the Port Authority’s $19 billion transformation of JFK into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals; two expanded and modernized terminals; a new ground transportation center; and an entirely new simplified roadway network.

“Public art that is inspiring and evocative of our region is an essential part of the Port Authority’s strategy to create world-class airports that are becoming destinations in their own right,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “Just as we have done at LaGuardia and at Newark-Liberty’s Terminal A, the public art at JFK’s new Terminal 6 will dazzle travelers and help create a sense of place unique to New York.”

“These remarkable artists will bring the unique spirit of our region to the new JFK Terminal 6, welcoming international visitors and locals alike,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “We applaud the creative vision of these talented artists and look forward to seeing their creative works transform the terminal.”

“Art brings visitors from across the world to New York City, and our new international gateway at JFK will be an art destination in and of itself,” said George Casey, chair of the board of JFK Millennium Partners and chair and CEO of Vantage Group. “Stepping into the new Terminal 6, visitors will instantly feel the vibrancy of the city’s cultural life reflected in this captivating range of artworks.”

“Art takes a starring role at the new Terminal 6. Walls, floors, ceilings and volumes will all be enriched with architecturally integrated, site-specific commissions by some of the most extraordinary artists of our time,” said Nicholas Baume, artistic & executive director of Public Art Fund. “Like Terminal 6 and New York itself, the reach of the art program is global, featuring artists from near and far, from groundbreaking, emerging voices to senior, celebrated figures.”

New York and Hong Kong – June 26, 2024 – JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to build and operate John F. Kennedy International Airport’s new state-of-the-art Terminal 6, and award winning, Hong Kong-based carrier Cathay Pacific, have announced an agreement for the airline to operate from Terminal 6 when the first five gates open to passengers in early 2026. In addition, Cathay Pacific will open a nearly 10,000 square foot lounge at Terminal 6 – its first dedicated lounge in the New York market and its second in the United States along with San Francisco International Airport. Cathay Pacific customers can also look forward to Terminal 6’s digital-first, boutique guest experience, with a less than 5-minute average walk from the TSA security checkpoint exit to its gates.   

The new Terminal 6 is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.

“We are thrilled to partner with a world-renowned carrier like Cathay Pacific, who shares our vision and commitment to an outstanding guest experience,” said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners. “We can’t wait to welcome Cathay Pacific’s passengers to our world-class T6 facility, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership,” Thody added.

Cathay Pacific Senior Vice President, Americas Chris van den Hooven said: “This represents a huge milestone in Cathay Pacific’s 28 years of connecting New York with our home, Hong Kong and from 1 July it will be 20 years since we commenced our regular non-stop service.  It has long been our ambition to provide our customers a signature Cathay Pacific airport experience at JFK. We are delighted about our partnership with JFK Millennium Partners, which will make this dream a reality.”  

Cathay Pacific General Manager Customer Experience and Design Vivian Lo said: “New York JFK is among the top locations in our global lounge strategy.

This new lounge will feature a number of exciting developments that will put it at the forefront of our lounge proposition, and we look forward to sharing more details with our customers at the appropriate time.” 

 Cathay Pacific has been a pioneer in connecting New York and Hong Kong since its inaugural flights in 1996, which initially made a stop in Vancouver. On July 1, 2004, a significant advancement occurred as the airline launched regular scheduled non-stop services, solidifying its reputation as one of the most established and longest-serving Asian airlines in North America. Celebrating two decades of continuous non-stop operations this year, Cathay Pacific’s flights have been instrumental in fostering enhanced connectivity between two of the world’s most dynamic cities.

One of only a few Skytrax 5-star rated airlines in the world, Cathay Pacific joins other premium international carriers in choosing the new Terminal 6 as their future home at JFK airport. 

On March 31, 2024, Cathay Pacific reinstated its legendary First class service from JFK to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), furthering the airline’s commitment to the North American market and providing a superior long-haul flight experience between two of the world’s most important financial centers.

Construction on Schedule with Final Steel Beams Expected for Installation This Summer, First Gates to Open in 2026

New Renderings, Construction Photos of Terminal 6 Available Here

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected to build and operate John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 6, today marked one year since breaking ground on the $4.2 billion terminal with a sneak peek of the facility through a new animated rendering from terminal frontage to gate. Construction of the terminal is on schedule, with the last beams of steel expected to be erected this summer and the first gates to open in 2026.

Throughout construction, the project is expected to create more than 4,000 jobs, including 1,800 union construction jobs and direct wages of $1.9 billion. Through the end of January 2024, JMP has already awarded more than $450 million in contracts to minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) and more than $170 million in contracts to Queens-based firms helping to build the 1.2 million square-foot, state-ofthe-art facility. This includes over 180 MWBEs who are currently working on the project.

The new terminal is part of the Port Authority’s historic $19 billion redevelopment that will transform JFK International Airport into a 21st century global gateway set to rival the best airports in the world from curb to gate.

“Watching the steel frame of a new Terminal 6 taking shape is a tangible sign that JFK’s transformation into a world-class global gateway is well underway,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “This magnificent new international terminal is a key component of the Port Authority’s $19 billion reimagining of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and it will bring unprecedented economic opportunities to the communities near the airport.”

“To see our hard-working, talented team and partners develop the new JFK Terminal 6 from the ground up is tremendously exciting. With each construction milestone and this one-year mark, we’re closer to welcoming passengers to an extraordinary new airport facility that will provide tremendous benefits to the local community, city, and state that Terminal 6 will proudly serve,” said George Casey, JFK Millennium Partners chairman and the chair and CEO of Vantage Airport Group, which leads Terminal 6 development and also spearheaded development of LaGuardia Airport’s new award-winning Terminal B – the first Skytrax five-star rated airport terminal in North America.

“We’ve had a busy, truly successful first year building T6,” said Steve Thody, interim CEO of JFK Millennium Partners. “In partnership with our design-build team at AECOM Hunt and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, we’ve assembled a strong, local workforce that is committed to achieving our 2024 milestones and building with the highest levels of quality and safety. We look forward to continued progress as we build a world-class terminal that international travelers will love, and all New Yorkers can soon call home.”

JMP is developing Terminal 6 in two phases, with the first five gates opening in early 2026 and construction completion expected by 2028. Lufthansa Group has announced it will move to the new terminal, operating flights to several European gateways and creating a world-class lounge experience for guests travelling on its group of airlines that includes Lufthansa, SWISS International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines. Advanced discussions with other air carriers are underway.

New York City-inspired retail, dining options and amenities totaling nearly 100,000 square feet is planned at Terminal 6 to create a unique New York sense of place. Selection of the future food and beverage, retail and duty-free concession brands is underway, with partners to be announced once chosen. Terminal 6 airlines and their passengers will enjoy a boutique-style, world-class terminal that is digital-first, efficient and full of the latest passenger conveniences, technology and amenities, such as:

• 10 gates, of which nine will accommodate widebody aircraft
• State-of-the-art automated baggage system, customs/border control facilities, and the latest TSA screening technologies
• The longest departures curb at JFK, with airline-branded passenger drop-off zones
• Up to five airline lounges, in addition to a new arrivals lounge
• Digital concierge services
• A new ground transportation center and shared taxi stand with JFK International Airport’s Terminal 5
• A curated collection of New York City-inspired artwork featuring local and international artists, curated by Public Art Fund in partnership with JMP and the Port Authority
• Sustainably sourced building materials, rooftop solar power, and energy efficient systems and operating practices throughout the new terminal
• Sustainability certifications for LEED (silver or gold), Envision and SITES underway

JMP expects to meet or exceed the Port Authority’s goal of 30 percent MWBE participation and create opportunities to foster and grow local business enterprises (LBEs) through the development.

Transforming JFK Into a World-Class Global Gateway

In January 2017, the JFK Vision Plan was announced to transform John F. Kennedy International Airport into the world-class airport that New Yorkers deserve. The vision plan provides a strategic framework for the Port Authority and its partners to completely redevelop, modify and expand existing facilities and infrastructure. The new Terminal 6 builds on the momentum of the other three major components of the airport’s transformation already underway. The $9.5 billion development of a state-of-the-art New Terminal One that will anchor the airport’s south side broke ground in September 2022.
The $1.5 billion expansion of Terminal 4, led by Delta Air Lines and JFK International Air Terminal, is now under construction. Additionally, the $400 million modernization and expansion of Terminal 8, led by American Airlines, which operates the terminal, and British Airways was substantially completed in November 2022.

All the privately financed terminal projects combined with the Port Authority’s roadway, parking and infrastructure projects represent a $19 billion transformation of JFK International Airport and an extraordinary series of public-private partnerships. The Port Authority capital investment of $3.9 billion is leveraging private investment at a rate of nearly four to one when taking into account the full private investment of more than $15 bn that has been committed to the four projects comprising the full JFK redevelopment program.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a bi-state agency that builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. For over a century, the agency’s network of major airports; critical bridges, tunnels and bus terminals; a commuter rail line; and the busiest seaport on the East Coast has been among the most vital in the country – transporting hundreds of millions of people and moving essential goods into and out of the region. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center campus, which today welcomes tens of thousands of office workers and millions of annual visitors. The agency’s historic $37 billion 10-year capital plan includes unprecedented transformation of the region’s three major airports – LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and JFK – as well as an array of other new and upgraded assets, including the $2 billion renovation of the 90-year-old George Washington Bridge. The Port Authority’s annual budget of $8 billion includes no tax revenue from either the states of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency raises the necessary funds for the improvement, construction or acquisition of its facilities primarily on its own credit.

Partnership with New York-Based Public Art Fund Will Capture Spirit and Creativity of New York

Inspirational Art Installations Will Feature Local and International Artists, Supporting Port Authority’s Vision to Make Public Art Central to New Facilities

Public Art Fund Successfully Curated Highly Regarded Public Art at LaGuardia’s New Terminal B and Newark Liberty’s New Terminal A

When Complete, New Terminal 6 will Connect Seamlessly with Terminal 5 to Create an Anchor Terminal on JFK’s North Side

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners (JMP) today announced a partnership with Public Art Fund, the leading independent nonprofit organization dedicated to art in public spaces, for the development of public art commissions at the highly anticipated new Terminal 6 at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

As JMP builds a $4.2 billion privately financed world-class international travel hub at Terminal 6, Public Art Fund will lead the public art process, from curatorial strategy to implementation, for a range of inspiring new art installations. The collaboration aims to capture the spirit of New York City, celebrate the creativity of a diverse group of local and international artists, and offer visitors a travel experience that seamlessly integrates art into the terminal’s design.

Public Art Fund brings a wealth of experience curating and implementing dynamic public art projects that engage and captivate diverse audiences, having led recent major commissions for LaGuardia Airport’s new Terminal B and Newark Liberty International Airport’s Terminal A, both of which were recently named among the top three new airport terminals in the world by international rating agency Skytrax. These celebrated art installations offer local audiences a deep connection to the history and fabric of their communities, and welcome tourists and visitors to the New York and New Jersey metro area.

“World class airports, like the airports we are building across our region, are both functionally advanced and beautiful to behold thanks to inspiring public art that creates a sense of place that is unique to our region,” said Kevin O’Toole, chairman of the Port Authority. “With the help of Public Art Fund, travelers at the new Terminal 6 will experience the culture and diversity of our vibrant communities as they pass through our front door to the world.”

“Inspiring and appealing public art is a key tenet of the Port Authority’s vision to provide travelers with a world-class experience at the region’s airports. As we have seen at LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, iconic works of art, along with state-of-the-art functionality, appealing, light-filled civic architecture and locally inspired dining and retail combine to create airports that rival the best in the world,” said Rick Cotton, executive director of the Port Authority. “We’re delighted that JFK Millennium Partners has embraced our vision and partnered with Public Art Fund to commission works of art that will create a uniquely New York sense of place.”

“The addition of inspiring custom art to the new JFK Terminal 6 will elevate the guest experience and reflect New York City’s great tradition as one of the world’s leading destinations for art,” said George Casey, chair of the board of JFK Millennium Partners and chair and CEO of Vantage Airport Group. “Incorporating world-class art into our terminals is a hallmark of Vantage and JMP’s mission to create a local sense of place at airports.”

“Public Art Fund’s expertise aligning curatorial selections with our own architectural vision makes the organization an ideal partner, as we work to create a new kind of boutique travel experience at Terminal 6,” said Helena Williams, CEO of JFK Millennium Partners. “The partnership brings together our collective strengths and will allow us to celebrate and showcase a diverse New York community, the brilliant expressions of a broad range of artists, and the spirit of JFK Airport as a thriving global gateway.”

“Public art has the power to transform public spaces, connect communities, and engage audiences in profound ways,” said Nicholas Baume, artistic & executive director of Public Art Fund. “We’re thrilled that JFK Millennium Partners recognizes the importance of transforming an infrastructure hub into a truly civic space with the awe-inspiring creativity that fuels cultural life in New York and beyond. We aspire to create a lasting impact on all who visit Terminal 6.”

Public Art Fund will work collaboratively with key stakeholders to develop and execute public art commissions in a range of spaces, scheduled to open along with the Terminal. Selected artists will have their creative journey documented by Public Art Fund via video, from initial vision and inspiration to execution and Terminal 6 installation.

JFK Millennium Partners is developing Terminal 6 in two phases, with the first gates opening in 2026 and construction completion in 2028. This new, 1.2 million square foot international terminal on the north side of John F. Kennedy International Airport will feel like a boutique luxury hotel, featuring bright and airy check-in and arrivals areas, New York City-inspired shopping, dining and amenities, premium lounges and generous seating areas that will transform the passenger experience.

Development, management and operation of Terminal 6 is subject to the Port Authority’s subcontracting participation goals of 20 percent by minority-owned business enterprises, 10 percent by women-owned business enterprises and 3 percent by service-disabled veteran-owned business in all procurement, subcontract, and ancillary service opportunities with this contract.

The Vision Plan provides a strategic framework for the Port Authority and its partners to completely redevelop, modify and expand existing facilities and infrastructure. The new Terminal 6 builds on the momentum of the other three major components of the airport’s transformation already underway.

Additionally, the $400 million modernization and expansion of Terminal 8, led by American Airlines, which operates the terminal, and British Airways, which relocated to Terminal 8 late last year, was substantially completed in November 2022.

All the privately financed terminal projects combined with the Port Authority’s roadway, parking and infrastructure projects represent a $19 billion transformation of JFK International Airport and an extraordinary series of public-private partnerships.

Link: Governor Hochul Celebrates Final Phase of the JFK Transformation with Groundbreaking for a New $4.2 Billion Terminal 6 | Governor Kathy Hochul (ny.gov)

Terminal 6 to Offer World-Class Passenger Amenities, Expanded Taxiway and Gate Capacity, State-of-the-Art Security and Streamlined Roadway Access

Governor Kathy Hochul and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today celebrated a key milestone in the Port Authority’s transformation of John F. Kennedy International Airport with the groundbreaking for the $4.2 billion project to develop a new Terminal 6. The 1.2 million square foot, state-of-the-art new terminal on the airport’s north side will feature 10 new gates — including 9 wide-body gates — and will create 4,000 jobs, including 1,800 jobs in construction. This project is the final piece of the JFK Vision Plan to break ground, and it will complete the transformation of the airport into a 21st century global gateway.

“New York remains committed to providing travelers with a premier experience that includes world-class amenities, expanded and streamlined airport transportation, and state-of-the-art security,” Governor Hochul said. “The groundbreaking of Terminal 6 offers a complete vision for the modernized global gateway while adding 4,000 jobs to New York’s workforce. Congratulations to everyone who has dedicated years of hard work to making this historic milestone possible.”

The new Terminal 6 is a public-private partnership between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners — a consortium that includes Vantage Airport Group, an industry leading investor, developer, and manager of award-winning global airport projects, including LaGuardia’s Terminal B; American Triple I, a certified minority-owned investor, owner, developer, and manager of infrastructure assets, which has a 30-percent equity stake in the project; New York real estate operating company RXR; and JetBlue Airways, the project’s airline sponsor.

JFK Millennium Partners is developing the new terminal in two phases, with the first new gates opening in 2026 and construction completion in 2028. The new terminal will create an anchor for passenger travel on JFK’s north side, spanning the sites of the former Terminal 6 and the existing Terminal 7. JFK Millennium Partners is managing Terminal 7 until the 50-year-old facility is demolished to make way for the second phase of construction.

The new Terminal 6 arrivals and departures hall will feel spacious, bright, and airy thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings throughout the new terminal. Inspiring public art by New York-based artists and architectural elements depicting New York landmarks will create a unique sense of place. Passengers will enjoy more than 100,000 square feet of world-class shopping and dining featuring locally based restaurateurs, craft beverage options and Taste of NY stores.

State-of-the-art technology will improve the customer experience with touchless technology from check-in to gates and digital systems that will streamline the passenger journey throughout the terminal. Advanced security systems will include automated TSA security lanes, biometric-based access control systems and a flexible design to accommodate future technology or regulatory changes. A convenient taxi plaza as well as designated for-hire vehicle pick-up areas will be shared with Terminal 5, substantially reducing traffic congestion on the terminal road frontage and maximizing connectivity across the airport.
