JFK Airport Complex
The airport consists of five terminals numbered 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8, skipping Terminals 3 and 6, which were demolished in 2011 and 2013 respectively following the expansion of Terminal 5, and Terminal 2, which was closed in January 2023 to be used for the airport's new international terminal. New Terminal 1 began development in September 2022 and will be built on the site that currently houses Terminals 1 and 2. Construction is expected to be fully completed in 2030.
All terminals are connected through the AirTrain system and access roads.
