John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is one of the busiest airports in the nation and is an indispensable part of global travel and the region’s economy. The airport, which handles nearly 62 million passengers a year, is an essential component of the world’s air transportation system and a regional economic driver.
The Terminal 8 redesign and expansion will accommodate joint operations for American Airlines, which operates the terminal, and British Airways, which will be relocating from Terminal 7.
Holt Construction broke ground on the project in January 2020. When it is completed in December 2022, the modernized terminal will improve the overall customer experience, with a total of 70,400 square feet of added space including 33,000 square feet of public space. Another 57,500 square feet of existing space will be refurbished. New amenities include premium lounges for both airlines, enhanced baggage systems, premium check-in space, and upgraded concessions. There will also be five additional wide-body gates to allow for more transatlantic flights.
Axias provided cost estimating services for all MEP trades based on 50% design documents for the redevelopment of Terminal 8.
