DOHA and NEW YORK, 25 August 2025: Qatar Airways has selected The New Terminal One at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) as its new home in New York.
The award-winning carrier will move its operations to Terminal One in 2026 and unveil a premium, 15,000-sq-ft Qatar Airways lounge — the airline’s first dedicated lounge in both New York City and the US.
The airline’s move to the New Terminal One and the opening of its first dedicated lounge at JFK Airport underscore the strategic importance of New York City in Qatar Airways’ global network.
In partnership with Qatar Airways, the New Terminal One will deliver an exceptional guest experience from arrival to departure. The terminal’s modern architecture, light-filled spaces and advanced technology will ensure a seamless and relaxing customer journey that complements Qatar Airways’ world-renowned onboard service.
The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s USD19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernisation and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation centre, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
Qatar Airways launched operations in New York in 2008 at Terminal 8 at JFK Airport. The airline’s network in the US spans 11 destinations to serve more than 3 million passengers annually. With 18 weekly flights from JFK, Qatar Airways connects travellers from the US to over 170 destinations worldwide through its home and hub, Doha’s Hamad International Airport.
