By GlobalDataNew York Governor Andrew said: “Airports are the front door to New York, which is why it is so important that we transform JFK Airport into an innovative, modern, and accommodating space for domestic and international travellers.”
By announcing the RFI, the Port Authority has moved one step forward in realising Governor Cuomo’s $13bn vision plan for the future of JFK, which was unveiled in October last year.
The modernisation plan covers the construction of two new terminals, passenger amenities, and convenient ground transportation facilities.
Nearly 90% ($12bn) of the investment will be offered by private funds.
In February, British Airways and American Airlines reached an agreement to invest $344m in upgrading Terminal 8 at JFK Airport.
