John F. Kennedy International Airport - more commonly known as simply JFK - is one of three primary airports serving the New York City metropolitan area. The airport handled over 60 million passengers in 2019, making it one of the busiest airports by passenger volume in the United States and the busiest international air gateway into North America.
While you may be familiar with the concourses, gates, and even views of the runways, we wanted to know… What is it like behind the scenes, and… Who are the people that help keep JFK running?
In this episode, we go behind the scenes and give you an exclusive look at the inner workings of JFK airport. This is Airport Uncovered: JFK.

Ah Kennedy Steve! The guy who kept pilots on the straight and narrow moving their planes around the airport and he did it with humor and professionalism. Yes, he's perfect for his new job. Let's see a video on the new airport in Istanbul. It looks like a palace.

@chron123 3 года назад

Back then Kennedy Steve told pilots to talk to the Ramp, now he IS the Ramp! It came full circle!

Good to see Kennedy Steve's still at the airport even though he's no longer in the tower.

WHY isn't it mentioned, among ALL that chatter, that the Saarinen TWA terminal is now anchoring a HOTEL? The amazing central shell houses the lobby/restaurants/bars, and rooms are in custom-built semicircular buildings contoured around the site between the Saarinen building the the Jet Blue terminal. I've stayed there awaiting a 10:30 am Emirates A380 flight to Dubai and onward to Mauritius. Rooms are tiny, but with a runway-view room, aviation enthusiasts can get a view of the Emirates and Singapore Airlines gates -- and they both route the A380 into JFK. (SQ's routes the 380 to/from Frankfurt and another A350 Long-Range aircraft goes nonstop to Singapore over the North Pole in a 19 hour ride.) Lodging at The TWA Hotel an exciting way to spend the night in New York, either prior to or after an odd-hours flight. Just an update from a glaring omission in this video, thanks.

Having worked for a major US Airline with a hub at JFK, I found this video quite interesting. I would spent up to two months at a time at JFK (pre 9/11) and tried to see as much as I could of the airport. It would have been nice it the airport train had been running during my stays there, alas it was under construction instead. Thanx for video and keep them coming!

@roysantianez1322 2 года назад

Question: 1. How does a flight number being given to airlines? 2. Can a flight number be switch to different plane type in the same airline? Like for example, CX271 is Airbus A350, can it be switch to other airplane type like A380 of the same airline? 3. What will happen to Flight number if the plane carrying that flight number retired or got a crash?
