There's a throwaway line at 3:10 that they will improve the transit system between them (the terminals). No note about improving the Airtrain or have the subway come directly to the airport. And even then they only talk about connecting the new terminal 1 with terminal 4, and 4 with 5, presumably behind security.

JFK (like probably 99% of airports in the US) makes a LOT of money off parking (and rental car fees and things like taxi airport surcharges). If you could just tap in with your OMNY card and travel to JFK easily, more people would do it and hurt their revenue from those other forms of transport.

bad accessibility from the city to the airport, isn't that the case for JFK, la Guardia and Newark, all important airports in and around the city all together? It's poor enough for me to choose the taxi over any train in NYC when going to or from the airport. A direct connection from Manhattan, without the need to change the train to get to the airport, would be the standard I'd expect from a city as large and important as NYC is

Newark had direct access the Penn station so it doesn't really have a connectivity issue with NYC. Which is ironic as it has the best access to Manhattan but is in NJ.

JFK has okay access as you can take the Airtrain to Jamaica and then take the subway into Manhattan.

It's understandable to think that starting fresh might be easier, but it's not technically feasible to completely rebuild JFK Airport from scratch.

Some notes I wanted to make about your video. 1. 2:10- Not all terminals are operated by airlines- some are operated by private companies. T4 being operated by JFKIAT, T1 will be operated by NTO, T6/7 will be operated by JMP. 2. 2:23- Saying airlines can never divert to another terminal is also inaccurate since all terminals do their best to support each other in times of need. T4 accepts flights from other airlines/terminals not scheduled to be there on a regular basis. They will also accept flights on an emergency basis if necessary. The main issue is the ground handling staff may not have the necessary man power/equipment to support an operation in another terminal if they are not based out of it as it'll stretch them thin and take time for them to get there.

I question how good this new airport will be. For example, the new Terminal 1 gets 23 gates all which can handle A380s, a plane that has been discontinued and won't be operating much past the next decade. So when it fully opens in 2030, the gates will not be at maximum capacity as the gates will service smaller planes then they can handle. The Terminals remaining after the redesign will be Terminal 1 (new), Terminal 4 (already open and finished), Terminal 5 (redesigned and expanded with 6), and Terminal 8 (redesigned, merged with Terminal 7). Four terminals in the end with 151 gates, up from 128. AirTrain will still run to all the terminals and the roads will be rerouted to make it potentially easier to get around by car as well.

Ah yes, biometrics "for a seamless experience." When something is free, you are the product. Count me out.

This is already commonplace everywhere else in the world. In Singapore we don’t even have customs officers anymore. It’s all automated if you have an e-Passport.

Fun fact, Idlewild was originally designed as a military airport. Jay Downer was the civil engineer. As an aside, JD also designed the Bronx Parkway, which inspired the Autobahn and ultimately the Interstate Highway system. I never met JD, but inherited is signet ring. Thanks for the update!

These investment sums are crazy... Even on a per-passenger basis, $19b across 62.5m passengers is $304 per passenger in one year - or $30 per passenger on a ten-year basis.

@garyd.7372 23 дня назад

Given the current inflation rate, a small Starbucks coffee will probably cost $30 in the new terminals.

geez even Dulles now has direct subway service to the city and that is even more in the middle of nowhere.

It was originally named New York International Airport as shown in the visual but was commonly called Idlewild due to that being the name of its location.

Should be called, Marilyn Monroe Airport. At least she lived here! Kennedy was a bum and only cheated on Jackie here!!

Parking garages are dinosaurs. At LAX, SFO and SJC International airports less than half of the garage is full on any given day. It would be better to focus on larger pickup and dropoff areas or connections to transit.

Glad to hear about the carbon footprint aspect related to the concrete. It should be part of everyday conversations.

It's about time JFK gets a massive upgrade. The Port Authority just opened a brand new Terminal A for us at Newark Airport and it was well-overdue for a replacement! Now its time for all 3 airports to be completely modernized and not stuck in the 1980s anymore!

@TheTeddyIsALiar 23 дня назад

I've always been a fan of LaGuardia because I was once a broke college student and you can easily just walk into the airport or take the Q70 for free to get to other transit links. No need to pay for a taxi or train ticket like you need to get to JFK.

Now will they also build a train from laguardia to JFK

Newark actually looks decent now.

I LOVE JFK. TWA Hotel is very cool. And T4 is arguably their best terminal - well laid out, nice amenities, awesome for people watching. And with LIRR connected to Grand Central, getting there by rail is simpler and faster now.

@darwinfiss8544 22 дня назад

really cool to see a video being made about a terminal I built :o

@cristiandiaz6333 День назад

A major thing the Port Authority should consider making more affordable parking spaces available. Most drivers choose to hang around or idle right by the terminals o nearby to avoid paying for parking at the airport, thus creating traffic jams. They should also have affordable long term parking available right by the terminals.

*1) They need GREAT DESIGNS. (Presently it’s underwhelming)* *2) They need to SIMPLIFY the whole thing (and consider it holistically - - regardless of the cost)*

Everything looks nice, so what is the delivery timeline and when will it actually be delivered?

@memory-card 23 дня назад

All nice and stuff, but what is and will be missing: Good Public Transport. 20 km (13 mi) between JFK and Manhattan and it still takes an hour by AirTrain + MTA. It won't need crazy high-tech solutions like a Maglev or Hyper Loop. Standard rail with 160 km/h (100 mph), a limited number of stops (e.g. Broadway Junction + Atlantic Av/Barclays Ctr) and it should be easily done in 20-30 min. Or just reactivate the old _Rockaway Beach Branch_ between LIRR and Howard Beach, a cut-and-cover tunnel parallel to RWY 13R/31L, arriving between T1 and T4, done.

@Marsha 21 день назад

They need to make LaGuardia an international airport. Its soo much better there. Closer to the city, MODERN, Spacious, CLEANER and just better overall.

@jaytippie9622 23 дня назад

Will never fly through this airport again. You have to leave security zone to transfer terminals. Not great if you have a tight connection.

@aqua2poweros699 22 дня назад

@GeoMeridium 23 дня назад

I don't think this project should be such a high priority. JFK's terminals aren't too shabby, the runways are already near capacity without space for further expansion, and this will just incentivize the airport to schedule more flights than it can reasonably handle. Newark should be a higher priority for a megaproject, since it actually has a path to increase its capacity, and the solution needs a lot of investment to work. If EWR reconstructed its terminals mid-field, they could squeeze in a 3rd, independently operated parallel runway (greater than 1310 meter separation) that would increase overall flight capacity by up to 70%. By going with a terminal layout similar to Charles De Gaulle's Terminal 2E, the reconstructed EWR could go with a design that combines the efficiency of the concourse layout with the convenience of the pier layout. This would also leave space for US Route 9 and an air train to be rerouted directly through the terminals, allowing for better traffic flow, and a zero-transfer connection to Penn Station.

Fred, hi from Alberta (Calgary) Canada. I had no idea JFK wasn't keeping pace, with so much attention on the redevelopment of LaGuardia one just assumes JFK is a given.. Our Intl airport passenger volume is 20M respectable and growing again (Canadian Market) but obviously not in the JFK universe. Just the annual wear and tear on JFK's facilities neglect one year and your behind by five actually. So its great to see one of the worlds great Intl airports receiving the capital investment and redevelopment it apparently requires. After all expectations come with being the Big 🍎. Great episode always feeds the construction geek in me and provides a worldly perspective no other pure construction site can come close too. Always look forward to more, amazing topics (empty super tall's of NYK's Millionaires Row a favorite) presentation and above all you are clearly knowledgeable and passionate about construction. Thanks

If the Port Authority can hit a home run with LaGuardia Airport’s renovation (albeit with a missing direct subway connection) then JFK’s reconstruction I’m sure will be awesome.
