Plans for the redevelopment and expansion of Delta Air Lines Terminal 4 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport have been unveiled after being approved by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. Work on the $1.2 billion project began this September and is said to generate approximately 10,000 airport and construction-related jobs over the next three years.
The expansion of Terminal 4’s Concourse B includes the replacement of outdated facilities, the addition of nine new international gates sized to accommodate larger aircraft and the construction of a connector between Terminal 2 where Delta currently operates its domestic flights and Terminal 4. The project also includes an expanded baggage claim area, Customs and Border protection, and the demolition of Terminal 3 where Delta currently operates its international flights. Terminal 3 will be paved for aircraft parking starting July 2015.
