Qatar Airways in 2026 will move its operations at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to the new Terminal 1 from Terminal 8, the carrier announced Monday.
It also will open its first dedicated U.S. lounge at the new terminal. The 15,000-sq.-ft. space will have direct access to the airline’s boarding gate and will include “premium” food and beverage options, VIP check-in services, relaxation zones, prayer rooms and duty-free shopping for Qatar Airways business-class passengers, according to the carrier.
The new Terminal 1 is part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion investment at JFK, which will include “two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center and a new, simplified roadway network,” according to Qatar Airways.
The airline’s current network in the U.S. includes 11 destinations with 18 weekly flights.
