JFK's New Terminal One Phase 1 Slips to Late 2026
- The first phase of JFK's New Terminal One, targeted for June 2026 with 14 new gates and a new departures and arrivals hall, is delayed to November 2026 at the earliest[3]
- The project costs an estimated $9.5 billion, with $5.9 billion in bonds and over $6 billion of total debt; a further five gates open in 2028 and four in 2030, with full completion in 2030[3]
- Moody's moved the developer's outlook from stable to negative while keeping Baa3, citing the construction delay and lower demand after opening; there is a $500 million ramp-up reserve plus $250 million in credit lines[3]
- The terminal will have 23 gates and 2.6 million sq ft, serve up to 23 million passengers and has 29 airlines agreed; it is built by a consortium of Ferrovial Airports, JLC Infrastructure, Ullico and Carlyle under a lease from the Port Authority to 2060[3]
- A Bloomberg article of 15 May 2026 reportedly covered the developer's downgrade risk after the delay, but its content was not accessible[4]
