By GlobalDataThe GSE fleet will support JMP’s sustainability strategy aimed at reducing carbon emissions, increasing operational efficiency and eliminating reliance on fossil fuels at the new terminal.
The sustainability features incorporated at the T6 include high-efficiency building systems, more than 6,000 solar panels, stormwater capture, and a waste diversion goal during construction and operation, among others.
The all-electric GSE fleet also supports PANYNJ’s Net Zero Roadmap, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Upon completion, T6 will comprise ten gates, advanced baggage and security systems, a new ground transportation centre, and multiple lounges.
In March 2024, Logipix’s AI and AR enabled “Virtual Ramp Control System” was selected for installation at the T6.
JFK Millennium Partners is a consortium, which includes JetBlue, Vantage Airport Group, LaGuardia Terminal B, American Triple I, and New York real estate operating company RXR.
