Today, American Airlines and British Airways mark the start of redeveloping Terminal 8 at New York JFK Airport for only a small amount of…
$344!
Nah, American’s Twitter screwed up. It’s $344 million.
About The New Terminal:
- Scheduled to be completed by 2022, this revamped terminal will house both American Airlines and British Airways, meaning British Airways will finally move from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8 to consolidate itself with its Transatlantic joint venture partner.
- Currently, the two airlines offer 14 daily flights between New York JFK and London Heathrow.
- New York to London is considered “the most important and lucrative route for business in the world," by the Business Traveller
- The new terminal will have 9 new gates - 5 widebody jetbridges and 4 stands using buses (yay for avgeeks)

Overall, it looks to be more modern than the current Terminal 8. Truthfully, I like the current terminal but I’m excited to see the final outcome for this one.
