N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted September 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2012 We received the green light from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Board of Commissioners to move forward with our expansion plans at JFK Terminal 5 where we intend to construct a new international arrivals facility dubbed T5i! With today’s Board approval, we will add an additional 145,000 square feet of space on three levels onto Terminal 5, which opened to widespread acclaim in 2008. T5i will include dedicated gates to accommodate JetBlue international arrivals and capable of handling wide-body aircraft operated by partner airlines. A new Federal Inspection Site to handle United States customs and immigration checks will be constructed, eliminating the need for JetBlue international arrivals to be processed at JFK Terminal 4. We hope to break ground on T5i as early as this summer and tentatively aim to complete construction in early 2015.
