A modernized Terminal 8

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in partnership with American Airlines and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Airports, has announced a $125 million commercial redevelopment program for Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). This initiative will introduce a new great hall and over 60 shopping and dining options, emphasizing locally owned and diverse businesses to create economic opportunities for the community. The program will feature world-renowned culinary offerings from brands like Eataly and Momofuku, alongside New York favorites such as Black Tap, Alidoro, and Harlem Chocolate Factory.

 

Building on the recent $400 million expansion of Terminal 8, completed in November 2022, the redevelopment will enhance the customer experience with expanded concessions, affordable dining, performance spaces, and digitally enabled experiences, all in line with the Port Authority’s street pricing policy.
