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

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.

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

And even after they do all this, the best way to get from Manhattan to JFK will still be the fixed price for a taxi. How pathetic is that? Even worse, to get from one terminal to another still requires you to go through security again. More waiting, more being treated as a presumed criminal, more wandings. The problem is not the terminals. The problem is that air travel has become a hate-filled, anger-and-anxiety-inducing experience. Why not fix that first?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
