Airline Terminal Information
AirTrain
JFK
This high-speed, light-rail service links the airport
to New York City and beyond. Opened in December 2003,
AirTrain connects to the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)
and the New York City subway and bus lines. On airport,
AirTrain provides free connections between terminals,
rental car facilities, hotel shuttle areas and parking
lots.
Roadway
Access
A new roadway system was constructed in the airport’s
Central Terminal Area (CTA). The new configuration
divides the roadway network into five terminal areas
so motorists can make direct connections between terminals,
parking lots and the Van Wyck and JFK Expressways
– the two main arteries into and out of the
airport. The roadway project also is upgrading and
expanding the JFK Expressway, increasing the use of
the improved Nassau Expressway/Belt Parkway interchange.
The
Central Taxi Hold was opened in 1995. The Taxi Hold
lot, which makes taxi service more readily available
to customers, was expanded and upgraded. A hold lot
for limousines was constructed to help facilitate
limousine service to customers.
PARKING
The airport offers customers over 17,000 parking spaces,
included in multi-level parking garages, surface spaces
in the CTA, a long-term parking lot and valet parking.
E-ZPass Plus is available in all parking lots and
garages, except for the overflow lot.
CARGO
JFK is one of the world's leading international air
cargo centers. Two cargo facilities totaling 430,000
square feet of warehouse and office space opened in
2003 and offer the latest in cargo-facility design.
The airport has more than one million square feet
of office and warehouse space dedicated to broker,
freight forwarder and container freight station operators
who do business within the NY/NJ region.
RUNWAYS/TAXIWAYS
The runway system consists of two pairs of parallel
runways (4L-22R, 4R-22L and 13L-31R, 13R-31L) aligned
at right angles. Total runway length is nine miles.
All runways have high intensity runway edge lighting,
centerline and taxiway exit lighting and are grooved
to improve skid resistance and minimize hydroplaning.
A 500' by 150' aircraft arrestor bed has been installed
at the end of Runway 4R, the first such arrestor bed
in the world.
Taxiways total 25 miles in length. Standard width
is 75 feet with 25-foot heavy-duty shoulders and 25-foot
erosion control pavement on each side. Other features
include the taxiway centerline light system and a
sign system, illuminated at night to provide directional
information for taxiing aircraft.
