The New Terminal One at JFK International Airport is being built with a clear mandate: design a terminal that stays ahead of technology, embraces innovation, and supports the continued growth in international travel, as part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s historic redevelopment of JFK Airport. Central to the New Terminal One’s vision is a close partnership with federal agencies and a deep understanding of their respective missions to ensure that innovation strengthens both security and operational efficiency.
Airports and federal agencies alike face a shared challenge: global travel demand is growing faster than the industry’s ability to hire personnel and expand physical infrastructure. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confront this reality every day at the nation’s airports. In response, both agencies have made significant advances in recent years, deploying new technologies and operational processes that streamline traveller processing while allowing officers to focus more of their time on their core security missions.
New Terminal One presents a unique opportunity to explore how recent TSA innovations can further modernise the checkpoint experience.”
At New Terminal One, we have benefited from those innovations and endeavour to take them a step further in partnership with federal agencies. By designing the terminal around modern processing concepts from the outset, we aim to create an environment where technology, infrastructure, and operations work together to support both security and efficiency. For travellers, this means a more seamless and intuitive journey, one where identity verification and screening processes are integrated naturally into the flow of the terminal, reducing friction and uncertainty while allowing passengers to spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the world-class guest experience at the New Terminal One.
