The $3.8bn project will include the expansion and renovation of arrivals and departures hall at T4 by 500,000ft² and the expansion of the concourse to accommodate 16 new gates.

In addition, the current concourses will be renovated and the roadway will be expanded to improve vehicle access.

The work is expected to be completed in 2023 when Delta consolidates its operations at the terminal. Improvements to the roadway are aimed to be finalised in 2025, along with the remaining redevelopment projects in the airport.

New York Governor Andrew M Cuomo announced: “The Terminal 4 expansion will be another milestone in the transformation of JFK Airport, with upgrades that will give passengers the world-class experience they expect when flying into New York.
