First phase of Terminal 6 project at Kennedy Airport begins
NEW YORK -- Officials broke ground Thursday on the new Terminal 6 at Kennedy Airport.
The 1.2 million-square-foot terminal will be used by JetBlue.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said the finished product will be "state of the art."
"We're going to have 1.2 million square feet of space. Terminal 6 will have 10 new gates," said Hochul. "Restaurants and little local businesses that have a chance to get a foothold here. Public art, recreation spaces. People will not know where they've landed, those who've come here for many years."
The first phase of the new Terminal 6 is expected to open in 2026 and be completed by 2028.
