Philippine Airlines and The New Terminal One at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) have announced a partnership for the airline to operate out of the new world-class terminal, transforming the experience for Philippine Airlines customers traveling to New York City.
The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway. This transformation will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
Philippine Airlines operates three-weekly flights to Manila from JFK Airport on Airbus A350-900 aircraft, offering convenient nonstop service from New York, home to one of the largest Filipino communities in the United States. Currently operating at the existing Terminal 1 at JFK Airport, Philippine Airlines will transition its operations to the New Terminal One and unveil an elevated customer experience for its passengers traveling to and from the Big Apple.
Offering state-of-the-art technology and a world-class dining and retail experience with a sense of place unique to New York, the New Terminal One will be the nation’s new front door at JFK Airport, which has long welcomed the most international passengers to the United States. With today’s announcement, Philippine Airlines becomes the first Southeast Asian airline to commit to operations at the New Terminal One, strengthening the terminal’s growing global network.
“We are delighted to welcome Philippine Airlines to our growing family of airlines at the New Terminal One,” said Jennifer Aument, Chief Executive Officer, The New Terminal One at JFK. “Our teams share a strong commitment to customer service, and we look forward to working together to elevate the curb-to-gate experience for Philippine Airlines customers flying to and from New York.”
“This partnership with the New Terminal One marks a pivotal moment for Philippine Airlines. This alliance allows us to enhance our service and elevate the travel experience for our passengers. We stay committed to creating a seamless and memorable journey, reflecting our dedication to excellence in every flight,” PAL President and COO Capt. Stanley K. Ng said.
With today’s announcement, Philippine Airlines will become the 10th airline to partner with the new Terminal One. Air France, KLM, Etihad, LOT Polish Airlines, Korean Air, EVA Air, Air Serbia, SAS, and Neos have also committed to operating at the New Terminal One. In addition, Air China is collaborating with the terminal to elevate the travel experience for Chinese customers visiting New York.
Scheduled to open in phases from 2026, the New Terminal One will be the largest terminal at JFK Airport when complete, offering 2.6 million square feet of space over a footprint that will include the existing Terminal 1 and the former Terminals 2 and 3.
