For sure. I could be mistaken, but on the other side of the grey wall might be another lounge with direct boarding access!
Someone posted this image on the google maps entry for JFK airport:
Looks like several jetbridges and other portions of the faƧade are fully installed.

As a part of the renovations at JFK passengers using rideshare services are going to be relocated to the AirTrain stop at Howard Beach to prevent traffic congestion as the summer travel season starts and the T1 and T6 projects continue to advance.

Looks great. They are wasting no time starting to do interior work and depending on when in 2026 they open, the terminals might be ready for passengers coming in to see the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the summer. This is wishful thinking, of course.
Also, per the T1 LinkedIn page, Air China and Royal Air Maroc have announced they will be serving JFKās new T1.
At T6, Avianca has announced they will be the 14th airline to serve the terminal and is the first Latin American airline to utilize the terminal.

I hadnāt considered that they might be trying to open before the World Cup, but I think you might be right. T1 is scheduled to open June 2026, and T6 has stated that itās less than a year from opening, so they should be ready in time for the cup.

Enhanced rail access is a must.

For sure. Iām hoping to use the Van Wyck realignment as an opportunity to add additional tracks for public transport, as well as a central rail station for LIRR trains where JFK Central wouldāve gone.

I think for sure JFK needs expanded runway capacity, but the monetary requirements coupled with the public backlash from expanding into Jamaica Bayā¦well.
