PTT sits down with Marisa Von Wieding, vice president (VP) of operations, and Palmina Whelan, capital program director of the New Terminal One, at JFK.
What makes the New Terminal One a groundbreaking project for JFK and international aviation?
As the largest public-private partnership in the United States, the New Terminal One is a transformative project for JFK Airport and international aviation. Supported by our financial sponsors Ferrovial, JLC Infrastructure, Ullico and Carlyle, our terminal will be the largest at JFK when complete, spanning 2,600,000ft2 and featuring 23 gates.
The terminal will be home to half of the airport’s available widebody gates that can accommodate the larger aircraft types that are so key to international travel, enabling the transformation of JFK into the world-class global gateway the region deserves. The New Terminal One will feature cutting-edge technology, a sustainable and resilient design and expansive light-filled spaces. But it’s more than that – the New Terminal One is a testament to the groundbreaking innovation that transpires from partnerships between the private sector, public agencies, labor and communities.
