John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is North America’s premier international gateway, serving as New York City’s main hub for global travel. Opened in 1948 as Idlewild Airport, it was renamed in December 1963 in memory of the 35th President of the United States.

Located in Jamaica, Queens—roughly 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan—JFK spans 5,200 acres and operates four active runways alongside multiple passenger terminals. Managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, it serves as a major hub for American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue, connecting millions of passengers annually to all six inhabited continents.
