Delta and PANYNJ are not done with Terminal 4 expansion. Looks like a addition to house their regional jet operation to replace all OPS at Terminal 2 (in the video go to and pause it at 2:18 and 2:52 to see artist impression shots). See this press release from February 11, 2013. The main highlights are as follows:
Delta Air Lines, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK International Air Terminal will continue expansion at John F. Kennedy International Airport with a $175 million project that will add 11 gates
The new project is in addition to the previously announced $1.2 billion redevelopment at Terminal 4 set to open in May.
With the new expansion, Terminal 4′s Concourse B will house 27 Delta gates and completely replace Delta’s current Terminal 2 regional jet operation.
All gates will be designed to accommodate two-class regional jets as well as provide flexibility for gating additional mainline aircraft.
The new expansion builds on Delta’s previously announced $1.2 billion Terminal 4 redevelopment opening in May. That expansion, which is 90 percent complete, features nine new and seven renovated international gates
The expanded Terminal 4 will replace the outdated Terminal 3 facilities
Demolition of Terminal 3 is expected to be completed by summer 2015. The Terminal 3 site will then be used for aircraft parking.
Once the new Terminal 4 opens in May, Delta will more than double the current shuttle bus operation for passengers connecting between Terminals 2 and 4. Ten buses will carry connecting passengers between the existing bus holdrooms in Terminals 2 and 4. By September 2013, Delta will open a new 8,000 square-foot bus holdroom facility adjacent to gate B20.http://worldairlinenews.com/2013/02/11/delta-to-add-11-additional-gates-at-terminal-4-at-new-york-jfk/So FSDT, what is your intentions with the already announced JFK makeover that you all are working on? Looks like after the May opening Delta will be winding down operations at Terminal 3 as they start gutting it for a demolition. I would love if you guys just simply redo it with what it will look like upon completion at Terminal 4 with the large parking area where the Terminal 3 footprint is currently.
