Kuwait Airways announced this week that it will move its operations to the upcoming Terminal 6 at New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). It is the 12th carrier to sign on and joins most Star Alliance airlines, Aer Lingus, Condor, Cathay Pacific, SAS, JetBlue, and other international carriers to make plans to inhabit the new space when it opens in 2026.
Terminal 6 is a key element of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and a simplified roadway. Kuwait Airways has been flying to JFK for 40 years and operating out of Terminal 7. The airline flies Boeing 777-300 and Airbus A330-800 aircraft to New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and the airport serves as its gateway to the United States.
The new Terminal 6 will offer a digital-first, boutique guest experience that provides less than five-minute average walks from the TSA security checkpoint to all of the terminal’s gates,100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges, and amenities. The project is being managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners.
Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners, said:
This decision marks an exciting new chapter in our partnership with Kuwait, which has been a valued Terminal 7 airline since 2022.”
Anthony’s Take: I can’t wait to check out the new Terminal 6 and the rest of the renovations at New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK). I won’t be heading there anytime soon though as the construction and resulting traffic is horrendous. My last trip there had me feeling that I could walk faster than the Uber
