Air New Zealand has committed to operating out of New York John F. Kennedy International Airport’s (JFK) new international terminal, the massive facility that is the largest and most expensive component of JFK’s $19b rebuild. Led by global airport developer and operator Ferrovial, a private consortium is financing, building and will then manage the New Terminal One (NTO), which is slated to open next year. The consortium will run the terminal under a long-term lease with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that extends through 2060. The port has oversight of JFK, New York LaGuardia and Newark airports. Aside from Air New Zealand, other airlines that have signed on to use NTO include Air France, Air Serbia, Etihad Airways, EVA Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Neos, SAS, Turkish Airlines and Philippine Airlines. The terminal—with a price tag of $9b for the first phase of construction scheduled to finish in 2026—will have 14 gates at opening, with plans to grow to 23 gates by 2030. NTO will be exclusively for international carriers operating to JFK.<br/>
