JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to build and operate John F. Kennedy International Airport’s new world-class Terminal 6 (T6), and All Nippon Airways (ANA), an award-winning, Tokyo-based carrier renowned for its commitment to quality, sustainability and customer service, announced that ANA will be among the first airlines to operate from the new state-of-the-art terminal when it opens to passengers in 2026.
Terminal 6 is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK International Airport into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
ANA passengers can look forward to Terminal 6’s digital-first, boutique guest experience, with a less than 5-minute average walk from the TSA security checkpoint exit to all gates,100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges and amenities, curated public art, sustainable operating features, and a premium guest experience throughout the terminal.
“ANA has been a long-term tenant at JFK Terminal 7, where we’ve seen firsthand their commitment to quality, operational safety and exceptional passenger care since our JMP team took over the management of Terminal 7 two years ago. We look forward to elevating the ANA guest experience even further as we write the next chapter of our partnership together at JFK Terminal 6,” said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners.
ANA Executive Vice President, Alliances & International Affairs, Facilities, Digital Transformation, Katsuya Goto said: “JFK Terminal 6 is an excellent terminal – not only in terms of customer value, but also in terms of operations. I am confident that our customers will consistently be highly satisfied. We look forward to serving our customers in Terminal 6 and providing long-term value with the continuous support of JFK Millennium Partners.”
ANA Executive Vice President, The Americas, General Manager, New York, Toshio Nomura said: “New York is one of ANA’s most important markets, which we have served for over 30 years. We have long wanted to progress the customer experience at JFK, and it’s a great honor for us to welcome our customers to the new Terminal 6 with our latest 777-300ER product.”
ANA currently operates two daily nonstop flights from JFK Terminal 7 to Tokyo (Haneda) using Boeing 777 widebody aircraft, offering passengers its pristine First, Business, Premium Economy and Economy class products. The airline has continuously served the New York market from Tokyo for over 30 years, including nearly 25 years of operations at JFK Terminal 7. The JFK route, in particular, is of strategic importance as a key gateway for ANA in the United States. ANA joins its fellow Star Alliance partners Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines as future JFK Terminal 6 airlines.
