JFK Airport Terminal 8

Owner: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey | Services: Cost Estimating

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is one of the busiest airports in the nation and is an indispensable part of global travel and the region’s economy. The airport, which handles nearly 62 million passengers a year, is an essential component of the world’s air transportation system and a regional economic driver.

As part of the JFK Vision Plan, designed to position JFK as a leading global airport, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey embarked on a multi-phase expansion and commercial redevelopment initiative for Terminal 8. This ambitious $400 million project will modernize the terminal and improve the overall customer experience, with 70,400 square feet of added space including 33,000 square feet of public space. Another 57,500 square feet of existing space will also be refurbished. New amenities include premium lounges for two airlines, enhanced baggage systems, premium check-in space, and upgraded concessions. There will also be five additional wide-body gates to allow for more transatlantic flights. Axias provided cost-estimating services based on 50% of design documents for all MEP trades.
