The New Terminal One at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport has unveiled a new partnership with Italian airline Neos, the latest carrier to commit to operating from the all-international terminal, which is set to welcome customers in 2026.
The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway. This transformation will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
With its main hub at Milan Malpensa Airport, Neos connects New York City with nonstop service to two of Italy’s best-known destinations: Milan, a global capital of finance, fashion, and design, and Palermo, the popular island holiday destination of Sicily. The airline serves over 50 destinations across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America and South America. Neos operates the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft to JFK Airport, offering two cabins of service (Premium and Economy). Currently flying to the existing Terminal 1 at JFK Airport, Neos’ operations will seamlessly transition to the New Terminal One when it opens its doors in 2026.
“Neos joining our growing list of carriers at The New Terminal One is a significant milestone, offering nonstop flights between New York and Italy,” said Jennifer Aument, CEO of The New Terminal One. “With our 2026 opening on the horizon, our commitment to becoming JFK’s top choice for global airlines is stronger than ever. We are grateful to Neos for their confidence and look forward to welcoming them to our terminal.”
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with The New Terminal One at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. This cutting-edge terminal will provide modern infrastructure and exceptional services to our passengers. It represents both an exciting opportunity to strengthen our presence in the North American market and a vital contribution to JFK Airport’s transformation into a world-class gateway,” said Carlo Stradiotti, CEO of Neos.
Neos is now part of a growing group of international airlines that has committed to operating out of the New Terminal One, joining Air France, KLM, Etihad, LOT Polish Airlines, Korean Air, EVA Air, Air Serbia and SAS. The New Terminal One has also partnered with Air China on a collaboration to elevate the travel experience for Chinese customers visiting New York.
With an ambition to be ranked among the top five Skytrax terminals globally, the New Terminal One will offer state-of-the-art technology and a world-class retail and dining experience with a strong sense of place unique to New York. At 2.6 million square feet, the international-only terminal will be the largest at JFK when complete, occupying the footprint of the current Terminal 1 and the former Terminals 2 and 3.
