JETBLUE AIRWAYS JFK TERMINAL

1. JETBLUE AIRWAYS JFK TERMINAL

2. JFK International AirportJetBlue Terminal One of the first terminals constructed in the US following 9/11 is the JetBlue Terminal, often known as Terminal 5 atJetblue Airways JFK Terminal,, which is referred to as the airline from New York, is the main user of the terminal, which was formally opened in October 2008. The airport's former TWA Terminal was converted to build the new Terminal 5. It is a low-profile metal and glass building with 26 touch gates that can accommodate an estimated 20 million passengers annually. 250 flights per day are accommodated by the new terminal. More than 50 locations in the US, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Mexico are served by JetBlue Airways aircraft. Its 134-plane fleet is made up of Airbus A320-200s and Embraer 190s. A brand-new international wing of the terminal, known as T5i, debuted in November 2014. The T5 and T5i were built during the past ten years with an estimated $1 billion in investment.

3. Jetblue Project And TWA Upgrade In August 2004, the decision to construct a new JetBlue-only terminal was decided in light of the increasing passenger volume and continuing JFK renovations. The terminal is built next to and connects to the former TWA terminal, which JetBlue uses in part for check-in counters and perhaps "flight wing tubes" to transport passengers to their planes (a famous feature of the TWA terminal that was designed in 1962 by Eoro Saarinen). The TWA terminal's remaining space was turned into a museum.The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which also owns the TWA terminal building, leased the 70-acre property for the new JetBlue station.

4. New JFK terminal The 635,000ft2 terminal complex, which cost $850 million to construct, has 26 gates spread across three concourses. Customers can wander freely throughout the terminal and it contains a 55,000 ft2 core retail market place. The terminal also has an in-line baggage handling and screening system, two check-in sections with a combined total of 65 e-ticket kiosks and 40 traditional check-in desks, and a sizable central security checkpoint with space for 20 screening lanes. The terminal's passenger amenities include stadium seating beneath a 40-foot-diameter digital ring of LCD monitors, spacious gate areas with plenty of space, big windows providing views of the runway, a play area for kids, and a lounge-like area on the east concourse. 22 concessions, 25 specialty retail outlets, restaurants, bars, cafes, a gourmet food hall, coffee bars, and lounges are also available in the terminal.It is intended to hold 20 million passengers annually and 250 daily flights, more than quadruple the amount JetBlue previously flew from JFK.The building features just one brightly coloured self-cleaning industrial carpet and a small selection of lighting fixture designs. The low ceiling of the ticketing hall is intended to lower operating and construction expenses.

5. JetBlue Terminal ontractors Construction on the new terminal, which was designed by Gensler (architects), started in 2005. Arup (planners and design managers, building services engineering, IT, security, and acoustics), DMJM Harris (airside/landside engineer), Ammann & Whitney (structural engineer), Rockwell Group (interior architect for the "glowing blue box"), Turner (construction management), and BNP Associates were the contractors involved in the building's construction and outfitting (baggage handling consultant).

6. New International ArrivalsFacility Expansion In November 2014, Terminal 5's T5 International (T5i) new international arrivals hall addition was inaugurated. In order to improve the travel experience for all international customers, JetBlue established a new US Customs and Border Protection federal inspection service area. The T5i facility's construction got under way in 2012. The addition includes 40 cutting-edge automated passport control (APC) machines, ten global entrance kiosks, three new and three converted T5 international arrivals gates, a large international arrivals hall with comprehensive federal inspection services. JetBlue's current schedule of up to 39 daily international arrivals from a variety of locations, including Barbados, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Saint Lucia, Sint Maarten, Trinidad & Tobago, and Turks & Caicos, can be handled by the T5i, which can accommodate up to 1,400 customers per hour.

7. Numerous natural light sources, circulation paths that facilitate movement and cut down on terminal walking time, recycled concrete used in the construction, low-VOC building materials, effective heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, low-flow water fixtures, and controls for lighting according to the time of day are just a few of the extension's environmentally friendly features. This two-year project comprised more than 50 contractors, including Gensler, Ammann & Whitney, Arup, AECOM, Gleeds USA, and Turner Construction Company.
