===Construction===
John F. Kennedy International Airport was originally Idlewild Airport {{Airport codes|IDL|KIDL|IDL}} after the Idlewild Beach Golf Course that it displaced. It was built to relieve [[LaGuardia Airport]], which was overcrowded soon after opening in 1939. Construction began in 1943,<ref name=mammth43>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fQwvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NdQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3130%2C1048768 |newspaper=The Miami News |title=New York City begins construction of mammoth airport |last=Young |first=Marguerite |agency=NEA |date=November 7, 1943 |page=1C |access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref> and about $60 million was initially spent of governmental funding, but only {{convert|1000|acre|ha}} of land on the site of the Idlewild Golf Course were earmarked for use.<ref name="newsday">{{cite news |title=Major Airports Take Off |first=Rhonda |last=Amon |url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/newsday/access/29457155.html |newspaper=[[Newsday]] |date=May 13, 1998 |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref>

The project was renamed Major General Alexander E. Anderson Airport in 1943, after a Queens resident who had commanded a Federalized National Guard unit in the southern United States and died in late 1942. In March 1948 the [[New York City Council]] changed the name to New York International Airport, Anderson Field, but the common name was "Idlewild" until 1963.<ref name=nyatn/><ref name="lpc">{{cite report |title=Trans World Airlines Flight Center (now TWA Terminal A) at New York International Airport |url=http://www.npclibrary.org/db/bb_files/Trans-World-Airlines-Flight-Centre.pdf |work=Landmarks Preservation Commission |date=July 14, 1994 |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref>

The Port Authority leased the JFK property from the City of New York in 1947 and maintains this lease today.<ref name="panynj_pr">{{cite press release |title=Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg Announce Closing of Multi-Billion Dollar Agreement to Extend Airport Leases |url=http://www.panynj.gov/press-room/press-item.cfm?headLine_id=544 |publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |date=November 30, 2004 |access-date=August 30, 2015 |quote=The Port Authority has operated JFK and LaGuardia for more than 55 years.

Runway 4 (originally 8,000&nbsp;ft, now runway 4L) opened June 1949 and runway 4R was added ten years later. A smaller runway 14/32 was built after runway 7R closed and was used through 1990<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nycaviation.com/forum/threads/25224-The-lost-runway-of-JFK |title=The lost runway of JFK? |website=NYCaviation.com |date=July 21, 2007 |accessdate=June 27, 2013}}</ref> by [[general aviation]], [[STOL]] and smaller commuter flights.

The [[Avro Jetliner]] was the first jetliner to land at JFK on April 18, 1950; a [[Sud Aviation Caravelle]] prototype was the next jetliner to land at JFK, on May 2, 1957. Later in 1957 the USSR sought approval for two [[Tupolev Tu-104]] flights carrying diplomats to JFK; the Port Authority did not allow them, saying noise tests had to be done first. (The Caravelle had been tested at Paris.) The airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 24, 1963, a month after the [[assassination of President John F. Kennedy]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Idlewild Is Rededicated as John F.

===Development===
The Port of New York Authority originally planned a single 55-gate terminal, but the major airlines did not agree with this plan, arguing that the terminal would be far too small for future traffic.<ref name="gordon">{{cite book |first=Alastair |last=Gordon |title=Naked Airport: A Cultural History of the World's Most Revolutionary Structure |publisher=University of Chicago Press |date=2014 |url={{google books|lUEGAwAAQBAJ|plainurl=yes}} |isbn=978-1-4668-6911-0}}</ref> Architect [[Wallace Harrison]] then designed a master plan under which each major airline at the airport would be given its own space to develop its own terminal design.<ref name="pearman">{{cite book |first=Hugh |last=Pearman |title=Airports: A Century of Architecture |date=2004 |publisher=Laurence King Publishing |url={{google books|AKHW3onueNQC|plainurl=yes}} |isbn=978-1-8566-9356-1 |access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref> This scheme made construction more practical, made terminals more navigable and introduced incentives for airlines to compete with each other for the best design.<ref name="gordon" /> The revised plan met airline approval in 1955, with seven terminals initially planned—five for individual airlines, one developed for 3 airlines and an international arrivals building. (National Airlines and British Airways arrived later.)<ref name="lpc" />
* The International Arrivals Building, or IAB, was the first new terminal at the airport, designed by [[Skidmore, Owings and Merrill]] and opening in December 1957. Stretching nearly {{convert|700|m|ft|sp=us}} parallel to runway 7R where Terminal 4 is now, it had "finger" piers at right-angles to the main building allowing more aircraft to park, an innovation at the time.<ref name="lpc" />
* [[United Airlines]] opened Terminal 7 (later renumbered Terminal 9), a Skidmore design similar to the IAB, in October 1959. [[Eastern Airlines]] opened its Chester L. Churchill-designed Terminal 1 a month later; it was demolished in 1995.<ref name="lpc" /><ref>{{cite magazine |title=Bigger Than Grand Central |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,811406,00.html |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time Magazine]] |date=November 9, 1959 |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref>
* [[American Airlines]] opened Terminal 8 in 1960. It was designed by [[Kahn and Jacobs]]<ref name="lpc" /> and had a {{convert|317|ft|m}} [[stained glass]] facade designed by Robert Sowers, the largest stained glass installation in the world until 1979. The facade was removed in 2007 as the terminal was demolished to make room for the new Terminal 8; American cited the prohibitive cost of removing the enormous installation.<ref>{{cite news |title=Demolishing a Celebrated Wall of Glass |first=Ruth |last=Ford |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/23/nyregion/thecity/23glas.html |newspaper=The New York Times |date=July 23, 2006 |accessdate=September 16, 2009}}</ref>
* [[Pan American World Airways]] opened the [[Worldport (Pan Am)|Worldport]] (later Terminal 3) in 1960. It featured a large, elliptical roof suspended by 32 sets of radial posts and cables; the roof extended {{convert|114|ft|m}} beyond the base of the terminal to cover the passenger loading area. It was one of the first airline terminals in the world to feature [[Jetway]]s that connected to the terminal and that could be moved to provide an easy walkway for passengers from the terminal to a docked aircraft, rather than having to board the plane outside via [[airstairs]], which descend from an aircraft, via truck-mounted mobile stairs or via wheeled stairs.<ref name="time">{{cite news |title=Umbrella for Airplanes |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,940622,00.html |work=Time Magazine |date=June 13, 1960 |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref>
* [[Trans World Airlines]] opened the [[TWA Flight Center]] in 1962, designed by [[Eero Saarinen]] with a distinctive winged-bird shape. With the demise of TWA in 2001, the terminal remained vacant until 2005 when [[JetBlue Airways]] and the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ)]] financed the construction of a new 26-gate terminal partly encircling the Saarinen building. Called now Terminal 5 (or simply T5), the new terminal opened October 22, 2008. T5 is connected to the Saarinen central building through the original passenger departure-arrival tubes that connected the building to the outlying gates; the Port Authority is working on restorations to the remaining original Saarinen terminal, also known as the head house.<ref>{{cite web |title=JetBlue&nbsp;– Terminal 5 History|url=http://www.jetblue.com/about/jfk/icon.html|work=[[JetBlue Airways]]|date=October 22, 2008|accessdate=June 2, 2012}}</ref>
* [[Northwest Airlines]], [[Braniff International]] and [[Northeast Airlines]] opened a joint terminal in 1962 (now Terminal 2).<ref name="time" />
* [[National Airlines (NA)|National Airlines]] opened the [[Sundrome]] (now Terminal 6) in 1970. The terminal was designed by [[Pei Cobb Freed & Partners|I.M.Pei]].

The airport was designed for aircraft up to {{convert|300000|lb|kg|adj=on}} gross weight<ref>''Airports and Air Carriers'' August 1948</ref> and had to be modified in the late 1960s to accommodate [[Boeing 747]]s.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Port Authority Prepares John F.

In 1951, it averaged 73 daily airline operations (takeoffs plus landings); the October 1951 Airline Guide shows nine domestic departures a day, on National and Northwest. (Some of TWA's transatlantic flights had domestic segments but carried no domestic passengers.) When Newark closed in February 1952 much of its traffic moved to Idlewild, which averaged 242 daily airline operations in 1952. L-1049 Constellations and DC-7s appeared in 1951–53 and didn't use LaGuardia for their first several years, bringing more traffic to IDL. The April 1957 OAG shows two departures a week on Aerolineas Argentinas, 24 on Air France, 164 American, 6 Avianca, 42 BOAC and BWIA, 35 Capital, 7 Cubana, 252 Eastern, 2 El Al, 2 Iberia, 7 Icelandic, 17 KLM, 2 LAI, 6 LAV, 9 Lufthansa, 156 National, 75 Northwest, 131 Pan American, 9 Sabena, 26 SAS, 6 Swissair, 95 Trans-Canada, 115 TWA, 90 United and 3 Varig. (For most airlines the counts are for the beginning of April, but some transatlantic airlines only show their expanded schedules starting later in the month.)

Airlines began scheduling jets to IDL in 1958–59; LaGuardia didn't get jets until 1964, so IDL soon became New York's busiest airline airport. In 1962–67 it had more airline takeoffs and landings than LaGuardia and Newark combined and was the second-busiest airline airport in the country, peaking at 403,981 airline operations in 1967. During 1960–66 LaGuardia got a new terminal and longer runways, and by the middle 1970s the two airports had roughly equal passenger airline traffic (by flight count, not passenger count). (Until the 1980s Newark was always third place, except during LGA's reconstruction.) The [[Concorde]], operated by [[Air France]] and [[British Airways]], made scheduled trans-Atlantic [[supersonic]] flights to JFK from November 22, 1977 until October 24, 2003, when British Airways retired it.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concorde |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/concorde.htm |work=GlobalSecurity.org |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Concordes From London and Paris Land at Kennedy As 16-Month Trial Passenger Service Is Initiated |first=Richard |last=Witkin |url=http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0E1EF83C5F127A93C1AB178AD95F438785F9 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=November 23, 1977 |accessdate=March 20, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Covering Their Ears One Last Time for Concorde |first=Corey |last=Kilgannon |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/25/nyregion/covering-their-ears-one-last-time-for-concorde.html |newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 25, 2003 |accessdate=March 20, 2010}}</ref> Air France had retired the aircraft in May 2003.

Construction of the [[AirTrain JFK]] rapid transit system began in 1998; completed in December 2003, the rail network links each airport terminal to New York City subways and regional commuter trains at [[Howard Beach, New York|Howard Beach]], and [[Jamaica, New York|Jamaica, Queens]].

On March 19, 2007, JFK became the first airport in the United States to receive the [[Airbus A380]] with passengers aboard.

==Terminals==
[[File:JFK Terminals Layout.jpg|thumbnail|Map of JFK`s Terminals]]
JFK has six terminals, containing 128 gates, numbered 1–8 but skipping terminals 3 (demolished in 2013) and 6 (demolished in 2011).

The terminal buildings, with the exception of the former [[Tower Air]] terminal, are arranged in a deformed U-shaped wavy pattern around a central area containing parking, a power plant and other airport facilities. The terminals are connected by the [[AirTrain JFK|AirTrain]] system and access roads. Wayfinding signage throughout the terminals was designed by [[Paul Mijksenaar]].<ref>{{cite web |title=New York and New Jersey Airports|url=http://www.mijksenaar.com/projects-quicktour/30-new_york_and_new_jersey_airports.html|date=May 18, 2009}}</ref> A 2006 survey by [[J.D. Power and Associates]] in conjunction with ''[[Aviation Week & Space Technology|Aviation Week]]'' found JFK ranked second in overall traveller satisfaction among large airports in the United States, behind [[McCarran International Airport]], which serves the [[Las Vegas metropolitan area]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Survey: JetBlue is Best Low-Cost Carrier |url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/13619805/ |work=[[NBC News]] |agency=Associated Press |date=June 30, 2006 |accessdate=September 16, 2009}}</ref>

Until the early 1990s, each terminal was known by the primary airline that served it, except for Terminal 4, which was known as the International Arrivals Building. In the early 1990s, all of the terminals were given numbers except for the Tower Air terminal, which sat outside the Central Terminals area and was not numbered. Like in the other airports controlled by the Port Authority, terminals are sometimes managed and maintained by independent terminal operators. At JFK, all terminals are currently managed by airlines or consortiums of the airlines serving them, with the exception of the [[Schiphol Group]]-operated Terminal 4. All terminals except Terminal 2 can handle international arrivals that are not pre-cleared.

Most inter-terminal connections require passengers to exit security, then walk, use a shuttle-bus or using the AirTran JFK to get to the other terminal, then re-clear security.

===Current terminals===

====Terminal 1====
[[File:JFK Terminal 1.jpg|thumb|right|Terminal 1]]

Terminal 1 was opened in 1998, 50 years after the opening of JFK, at the direction of the Terminal One Group, a consortium of four key operating carriers: [[Air France]], [[Japan Airlines]], [[Korean Air]] and [[Lufthansa]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Terminal One Group website|url=http://www.jfkterminalone.com/home.html|work=Jfkterminalone.com|accessdate=June 2, 2012}}</ref> This partnership was founded after the four airlines reached agreement that the then-existing international carrier facilities were inadequate for their needs. Mostly European and some Asian carriers land at Terminal 1, such as [[Alitalia]], [[Austrian Airlines]], [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] and [[Saudia]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Faircloth|first=Anne|date=May 11, 1998|title=Terminal One: The Antidote To JFK|journal=[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]|url=http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1998/05/11/242061/index.htm|accessdate=September 16, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Airline Business Services JFK Terminal One Development Program|url=http://www.avairpros.com/project/jfktogadev.html|work=AvAirPros|date=August 10, 2005|accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Airline Business Services JFK Terminal One Operations|url=http://www.avairpros.com/project/jfktogaops.html|work=AvAirPros|date=August 10, 2005|accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref> It was designed by William Nicholas Bodouva + Associates.<ref name="Bodouva">{{cite web |title=Aviation Projects|url=http://www.bodouva.com/aviation/|work=William Nicholas Bodouva and Associates|accessdate=June 13, 2012}}</ref> Terminal 1, along with [[#Terminal 4|Terminal 4]], is one of two terminals at JFK Airport that has the capability to handle the [[Airbus A380]] aircraft, which are flown by Air France on the route from [[Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris Charles De Gaulle]], Lufthansa on the route from [[Frankfurt Airport]] and Korean Air on the route from [[Incheon Airport|Seoul-Incheon]]. Air France operated [[Concorde]] here until 2003. Terminal 1 has 11 gates.

====Terminal 2====
Terminal 2 opened in 1962 as the home of [[Northeast Airlines]], [[Braniff]] and [[Northwest Airlines]], and is now exclusively used and operated by [[Delta Air Lines]]. After the demise of Northeast Airlines and Braniff, the building was taken over by Pan American World Airways and subsequently by Delta. Since the opening of the Terminal 4 addition in May 2013, Terminal 2 has been designated as the "C" gates by Delta and has 7 Jetway-equipped gates (C60-C63, C67-C70) and 17 stands for [[Delta Connection]] carriers (C64A–H, C64J, C66K–N, C66P–S).

====Terminal 4====
[[File:JFKNewYorkTerm4 1.jpg|thumb|right|Terminal 4 replaced the former International Arrivals Building in May 2001]]
Terminal 4 was developed by LCOR, Inc and is managed by JFK International Air Terminal (IAT) LLC, a subsidiary of the [[Schiphol Group]]. This terminal serves as a major international hub for [[Delta Air Lines]] and was the first one in the United States to be managed by a foreign airport operator. It also serves as the main terminal for mostly Asian (including all the Middle Eastern carriers except Saudia and Qatar Airways) airlines, and some African and European airlines. Terminal 4 is the major gateway for international arrivals at JFK. Opened in 2001 and designed by [[Skidmore, Owings and Merrill]],<ref>{{cite web |title=John F.

Terminal 4 also serves many international airlines daily, including few Skyteam airlines and the majority of Star and non-aligned airlines.

Terminal 4 has 38 gates in two concourses: A2–A7, B18, B22–B55 with the exclusion of B40, B50 and B52. As of 2013, Delta and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey agreed<ref name=Minutes/> to an additional $175 million phase II expansion, which allowed Delta to construct 11 regional jet gates at Terminal 4, as well. The agreement allowed Delta to eliminate a proposed physical connection it has previously planned to build with its existing Terminal 2 and instead close T2 eventually. The work on the Delta hub has completed as of January 2015, with funding primarily from $900 million in special-project [[Bond (finance)|bonds]].<ref>{{cite news |title=World Trade Center Design Flaw Could Cost Millions |first=Chris |last=Hawley |url=http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/World-Trade-Center-Tower-Cost-Design-Delay-Port-Authority-138409274.html |work=NBC New York |agency=Associated Press |date=January 31, 2012 |accessdate=February 1, 2012}}</ref> Delta sought funding for the regional jet expansion from the New York City Industrial Development Agency.<ref name=Minutes>{{cite report |title=Minutes |url=http://www.panynj.gov/corporate-information/pdf/board_minutes_feb_6_2013-final.pdf |publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |date=February 6, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131126083532/http://www.panynj.gov/corporate-information/pdf/board_minutes_feb_6_2013-final.pdf |archive-date=November 12, 2013 |access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref>

As Terminal 4 was built during the construction of the AirTrain, the AirTrain station was built inside the terminal building. Other AirTrain stations are built across from terminal buildings. Delta Air Lines has also moved much of its operations to T4, as it expands operations beyond T2, with T3 now closed. Concourse A serves as the stopping location for Asian and some European airlines, whereas Concourse B is made up of Delta flights, and a number of Asian and some European airlines.

Like Terminal 1, it is [[Airbus A380]]-compatible and [[Asiana Airlines]] (to Seoul),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://airlineroute.net/2015/03/13/oz-jfklax-may15/ |title=ASIANA AIRLINES Moves Forward A380 New York Service from late-May 2015 |website=AirlinerRoute.net |access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref> [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]] (to Dubai and Dubai via Milan), [[Etihad Airways]] (to Abu Dhabi)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/etihad-airways-airbus-a380-featuring-the-residence-by-etihad-to-take-flight-between-new-york-and-abu-dhabi-294976431.html|title=Etihad announce Airbus A380 flights to New York JFK|accessdate=March 4, 2015}}</ref> and [[Singapore Airlines]] (to Singapore via Frankfurt) currently use Terminal 4 for their Airbus A380s. A variety of other airlines from across the globe as well as SkyTeam and Star Alliance utilize the terminal as well.

====Terminal 5====
[[File:JFK Terminal 5 Ticketing and Check-In.jpg|thumb|right|Terminal 5]]
Terminal 5 opened in 2008 for [[JetBlue Airways]], the manager and primary (then only) tenant of the building and serves as the base of their large JFK hub. This particular terminal handles (except for Aer Lingus flights to Ireland) exclusively North American regional flights—American domestic flights, Caribbean flights and Hawaiian Airlines flights to Honolulu, Hawaii. The terminal was re-designed by [[Gensler]] and constructed by [[Turner Construction]], and it is known for its many gift shops and gourmet restaurants, including a steak house and a sushi restaurant. It sits behind the preserved [[Eero Saarinen]]-designed terminal originally known as the [[TWA Flight Center]], which is now connected to the new structure and is considered part of T5. Currently closed for refurbishment, the Saarinen building is [[#Airport hotel|planned to reopen in 2018 as a hotel]]. Saarinen also designed the terminal at [[Washington Dulles International Airport]]. The active T5 building (including the international arrivals section named T5i) has 29 gates (26 until November 2014): 1–12 and 14–30 (with gates 25-30 handling international flights that are not precleared; gates 28-30 opened in November 2014).<ref name=T5i>{{cite press release |url=http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/jetblue-airways-opens-international-arrivals-concourse-its-award-winning-terminal-5-nasdaq-jblu-1967139.htm |title=JetBlue Airways Opens International Arrivals Concourse at Its Award-Winning Terminal 5 at John F.

====Terminal 7====
[[File:JFK Terminal 7.JPG|thumb|Terminal 7 - Departure Level]]
Terminal 7 was designed by [[GMW Architects]]<ref>{{cite web |title=JFK Airport|url=http://www.gmw-architects.com/projects/portfolio/jfk%20airport|work=[[GMW Architects]]|accessdate=June 13, 2012}}</ref> and built for [[British Overseas Airways Corporation|BOAC]] and [[Air Canada]] in 1970. Currently operated by [[British Airways]], it is also the only airport terminal operated by a foreign carrier on US soil, although Terminal 1 is operated by a consortium of foreign carriers serving the building. A handful of [[Oneworld]] alliance carriers operate out of Terminal 7 at this time, including [[International Airlines Group|IAG]] carriers British Airways and [[Iberia (airline)|Iberia]], [[Cathay Pacific]] and [[Qantas]]. Other airlines operating out of Terminal 7 include [[Star Alliance]] carriers [[All Nippon Airways|ANA]], [[Air Canada Jazz]], as well as [[Aerolíneas Argentinas]], [[Icelandair]] and [[Ukraine International Airlines]].

Between 1989 and 1991, the terminal was renovated and expanded at a cost of $120 million.<ref>{{cite report |date=1998 |title=Airport Traffic Report |url=http://www.panynj.gov/airports/pdf-traffic/airtraffic1998.pdf |work=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |accessdate=June 13, 2012}}</ref> The expansion was designed by William Nicholas Bodouva + Associates, Architects.<ref name="Bodouva"/> In 1997, the Port Authority approved British Airways' plans to renovate and expand the terminal.

In 2008, British Airways unveiled a $30 million, 18-month-long project to enhance its premium ground facilities at the terminal.

British Airways is currently evaluating the future of Terminal 7, as its lease with the Port Authority ended in 2015. After the alliance between BA/Iberia and American Airlines was finalized in 2010, American began talks to move BA and Iberia into an expanded Terminal 8.<ref>{{cite news|last=Schlangenstein|first=Mary|title=American in Talks to Move Partners to JFK Terminal|url=http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-12/amr-in-advanced-talks-to-move-alliance-partners-to-new-york-jfk-terminal.html|accessdate=16 August 2013|newspaper=Bloomberg|date=13 August 2010}}</ref> BA temporarily moved one of its flights to Terminal 8 in March 2013 due to ongoing renovation work in Terminal 7.<ref>{{cite news|title=Update on BA Upgrades at JFK T7|url=http://www.airbank-travel.com/airfare-news/cheap-flights-to-europe/update-on-ba-upgrades-at-jfk-t7/|accessdate=16 August 2013|newspaper=AirBank|date=23 February 2013}}</ref>

[[United Airlines]] was a major operator out of Terminal 7 until operations from JFK were discontinued on October 24, 2015.

====Terminal 8====
[[File:Aéroport JFK Décembre 2007 - Terminal 9.jpg|thumb|right|Inside the security checkpoint of the new Terminal 8.]]
In 1999, [[American Airlines]] began an eight-year program to build the largest passenger terminal at JFK, designed by [[AECOM|DMJM Aviation]] to replace both Terminal 8 and Terminal 9. The new terminal was built in four phases, which involved the construction of a new midfield concourse and demolition of old Terminals 8 and 9. It was opened in stages between 2005 and its "official" opening in August 2007.<ref name="term8"/> It is a major [[Oneworld]] hub and [[American Airlines]] is the main [[Oneworld]] carrier at Terminal 8. [[American Airlines]] is the largest carrier in and manager of the terminal and is the third largest carrier at JFK. Some [[Oneworld]] airlines that operate out of Terminal 8 include [[Air Berlin]], [[Finnair]], and [[LAN Airlines]].<ref>{{cite press release |title=LAN Airlines Moves Into Terminal 8 at JFK With American Airlines |url=http://hub.aa.com/en/nr/pressrelease/lan-airlines-moves-into-terminal-8-at-jfk-with-american-airlines |publisher=American Airlines |date=January 31, 2012 |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref> [[Qatar Airways]], [[Royal Jordanian Airlines]], and [[TAM Airlines]] also operate out of Terminal 8. [[Alaska Airlines]], another airline partner with [[American Airlines]] also operates out of Terminal 8.

The terminal is twice the size of [[Madison Square Garden]]. It offers dozens of retail and food outlets, 84 ticket counters, 44 self-service kiosks, 10 security checkpoint lanes and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility that can process more than 1,600 people an hour. Terminal 8 has an annual capacity of 12.8M passengers.<ref>{{cite web |title=Airport News - Terminal 8 Opens at JFK |url=http://www.panynj.gov/airports/newsletter/aviation_oct07.html |work=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |date=October 1, 2007 |volume=1 |issue=1 |accessdate=June 2, 2012}}</ref> It has two [[American Airlines]] [[Admirals Club]]s and a Flagship Lounge for premium class passengers.

Terminal 8 has 29 gates: 12 gates in Concourse B (1–8, 10, 12, 14 and 16) and 17 gates in Concourse C (31–47).<ref>{{cite web |title=Airport Map |url=http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airport-map.html |website=John F.

Gate 32 is subdivided into 4 regional service gates for small [[jet aircraft|jets]], 32F–32I. The total number of [[jetbridge]]s is, therefore, 36. Passenger access to Concourse C is by an underground tunnel that includes moving walkways.

===Previous terminals===
JFK Airport was originally built with ten terminals, compared to the six it has today. Ten terminals remained until the late 1990s, then nine remained until the early 2000s, followed by eight until 2011 and seven until May 2013.

====Eastern Air Lines terminal====
This terminal, on the site of today's Terminal 1, opened in 1959 and was demolished in 1995 after the collapse of [[Eastern Air Lines]] in 1991.

====Terminal 3 (Worldport)====
{{main|Worldport (Pan Am)}}

Terminal 3 was built as the [[Worldport (Pan Am)|Worldport]] in 1960 for Pan American; it expanded after the introduction of the 747 in 1970. After Pan Am's demise in 1991 Delta Air Lines took over ownership of the terminal and was its only occupant until its closure in 2013, it had a connector to Terminal 2, Delta's other terminal. Terminal 3 had 16 Jetway equipped gates: 1–10, 12, 14–18 with two hardstand gates (Gate 11) and a helipad on Taxiway 'KK'.

A $1.2 billion project was completed in 2013, which Terminal 4 was expanded with Delta moving its T3 operations to T4.

On May 23, 2013 the final departure from the terminal, [[Delta Air Lines]] Flight 268, a [[Boeing 747-400]] to [[Tel Aviv]] [[Ben Gurion Airport]], departed from Gate 6 at 11:25pm local time. The terminal ceased operations on May 24, 2013, 53 years to the day from when it opened on May 24, 1960.<ref>{{cite web|last=Frischling|first=Steven|title=Photographer|url=http://boardingarea.com/blogs/flyingwithfish/2013/05/17/a-historic-chapter-in-aviation-closes-it-wont-be-documented/|accessdate=1 June 2013}}</ref> Demolition began soon thereafter and was completed by summer 2014. The site where Terminal 3 used to stand is now used for aircraft parking by Delta Air Lines.

There has been large media outcry, particularly in other countries, over the demolition of the Worldport. Several online petitions requesting the restoration of the original 'flying saucer' gained popularity.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Port Authority Approves Construction of New State-of-the-Art Terminal Space for Delta Air Lines at JFK Airport |url=http://www.panynj.gov/press-room/press-item.cfm?headLine_id=1309 |publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |date=August 5, 2010 |accessdate=August 5, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=New Plans For Expanding Terminal 4 at JFK Airport |url=http://home2.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fhome2.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2F2010b%2Fpr348-10.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1 |publisher=City of New York, Office of the Mayor |date=August 5, 2010 |accessdate=August 5, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=Delta Air Lines, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK International Air Terminal Unveil Plans for Enhancement and Expansion of Terminal 4 at JFK Airport |url=http://news.delta.com/delta-air-lines-port-authority-new-york-and-new-jersey-and-jfk-international-air-terminal-unveil-1 |publisher=Delta Air Lines |date=August 11, 2010 |accessdate=August 11, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Details Of JFK Improvements&nbsp;– Civil Aviation Forum |url=http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/4895622/ |website=Airliners.net |date=August 5, 2010 |accessdate=August 11, 2010}}</ref>

====Terminal 6 (Sundrome)====
{{Main|Sundrome}}

Terminal 6 had 14 gates. Designed by [[I. M. Pei]], it was built in 1970 as the [[National Airlines (NA)|National Airlines]] [[Sundrome]]. Later, [[Trans World Airlines]] used it. In 2001, [[JetBlue Airways]] began service from Terminal 6, later opening a temporary complex in 2006 that increased its capacity by adding seven gates. After JetBlue vacated the terminal, it was demolished.<ref>{{cite web |title=JetBlue's New T5 Terminal At JFK Airport|first=Jim|last=Romeo|url=http://www.constructionequipment.com/jetblues-new-t5-terminal-jfk-airport|work=Construction Equipment|date=October 19, 2008|accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref> The international arrivals annex of Terminal 5 now uses a portion of the site, and the rest of the site is used for aircraft parking by both JetBlue and British Airways (which operates from nearby Terminal 7).

====Old Terminal 8 and 9====
The original Terminal 8 opened in 1960; its stained-glass facade was the largest in existence at the time.

====Tower Air terminal====
The [[Tower Air]] terminal, unlike other terminals at JFK airport, sat outside the Central Terminals area in Building 213 in Cargo Area A. Originally used by [[Pan American World Airways|Pan Am]] until the expansion of the Worldport (later Terminal 3), it was later used by Tower Air and [[Trans World Airlines|TWA]] shuttle until the airline was acquired by [[American Airlines]] in 2001. Building 213 has not been used since 2000. It is located next to the Delta Air Lines employees parking lot number 7, which was once the Tower Air terminal parking lot.

===Operational facilities===
[[File:Departing JFK.JPG|thumb|right|Looking at runway 4L/22R and out to sea.]]
JFK has over {{convert|25|mi|km}} of taxiways to move aircraft in and around the airfield. The standard width of these taxiways is {{convert|75|ft|m}}, with {{convert|25|ft|m|sing=on}} heavy-duty shoulders and {{convert|25|ft|m|adj=on}} erosion control pavements on each side. The taxiways have centerline lights and are generally of asphalt concrete composition 15 to {{convert|18|in|mm}} thick. An illuminated sign system provides directional information for taxiing aircraft.

The [[Air Traffic Control]] Tower, designed by [[Pei Cobb Freed & Partners]] and constructed on the ramp-side of Terminal 4, began full FAA operations in October 1994.<ref name=PEI>{{cite web |title=FAA Air Traffic Control Tower, JFK International Airport |url=http://www.pcfandp.com/a/p/8412/s.html |work=Pei Cobs Freed & Partners, Architects |accessdate=July 7, 2012}}</ref> An Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE) radar unit sits atop the tower. A gas-fired electric cogeneration plant generates electricity for the airport, with an output of about 90 megawatts. It uses thermal energy from the capture of waste heat to heat and cool all of the passenger terminals and other facilities in the central terminal area.<ref>JFK Plane Queue Picture -Shows relative sizing{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}</ref> At the time of its completion, the JFK tower, at 320 feet (97.5m), was the world's tallest control tower.<ref name=PEI/> It was subsequently displaced from that position by towers at other airports in both the [[United States]] and overseas, including those at [[Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]], currently the tallest tower at any U.S. airport, at 398 feet (121.3m) and at [[Suvarnabhumi International Airport]] in [[Bangkok, Thailand]], currently the world's tallest control tower at 434 feet (132.2m).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airport-technology.com/features/feature-the-10-tallest-air-traffic-control-towers-in-the-world-4142194/ |title=The 10 tallest air traffic control towers in the world |work=Airport-Technology.com |date=December 11, 2013 |access-date=August 30, 2015}}</ref>
