John F. Kennedy Airport is a major international hub for the United States, and a gateway for many engers into the country each year.</p> However, the location currently suffers from precarious infrastructure and a lack of connectivity between terminals, which makes it impossible to transfer demand during peak enger periods or when there are operational problems. Proof of this was in 2017, when infrastructure problems affected several companies.</p> But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the terminal would receive $13 billion in investment over the next few years, with $12 billion coming from private funds.</p> This entire amount will be able to increase the airport's capacity by 15 million engers. It is not much for the amount of money involved, but most of it will be used for renovations that will improve the terminal's comfort and unify the terminals externally.</p> Regarding comfort, Andrew said that engers will have more natural light after the renovations, high-speed Wi-Fi, more space for security and immigration checks, updates to X-ray baggage checks, more free space inside the terminal and also higher ceilings in the terminals.</p> The project is underway and still needs approval from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Despite this, engers can expect a quick improvement. The first part of the project will be completed in 2023, and the terminals will be unified by 2025. The goal is to begin construction in 2019.
