The $1.5 billion expansion of Terminal 4, led by Delta Air Lines and JFK International Air Terminal (JFKIAT), is now substantially complete.
As part of the redevelopment program, Delta and JFKIAT have transformed Terminal 4 into a fresh, modern space designed to provide an elevated airport experience for New York travelers. The project has significantly increased airport capacity by adding ten new aircraft parking positions, an additional domestic baggage claim carousel, and consolidating all Delta operations into Terminal 4—enhancing convenience for Delta customers.
The program includes updates to the check-in hall, new gate finishes, expanded curb drop-off space, additional digital signage, restroom modernizations, continued technology enhancements, and the transformation of regional jet gate areas to accommodate mainline aircraft. These improvements, along with the extensive renovations and the addition of 10 new gates primarily serving regional and domestic flights, have expanded the terminal by 150,000 square feet and significantly enhanced the overall customer experience.
By the Numbers
Community Involvement
Aimed at promoting educational, social, and professional success, JFKIAT’s 4GOOD program consists of two components: Community (Corporate Philanthropy) and Sustainability (Environment). Corporate resources include financial contributions, charitable giving, employee volunteering and community outreach. Since JFKIAT launched 4GOOD in 2016, the company has distributed more than $150,000 annually in funds for charities, organized events at Terminal 4, and worked closely with several organizations in Queens. JFKIAT recently worked with a number of the partners to raise $230,000 to aid the Queens community as it continues to grapple with the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. JFKIAT has a long track record of supporting MWBE and ACDBE participation in its operations of Terminal 4.
