Condor joins a growing list of award-winning, international
carriers who have chosen to make the new T6 their future home at JFK, including
Air Canada, Aer Lingus, ANA, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Cathay Pacific, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Norse Atlantic Airways and SWISS.
Terminal 6 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, with two new terminals, two expanded and
modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new,
simplified roadway network.
Condor, which has been serving the JFK market since 2014, operates
year-round service from JFK Terminal 7 to Frankfurt,
Germany using its Airbus A330neo aircraft in a three-cabin configuration.
"Condor has been an excellent partner at T7, and we are
thrilled that they've put their trust in our JMP team once again by joining us
in the new T6," said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners.
The plan is to have the first T6 gates open in early 2026.
"As New York/JFK is one of our most important North
American gateways, we are extremely thrilled to be moving into the new,
state-of-the art T6," said Mikko Turtiainen, director of sales, The
Americas, Condor. "Condor passengers will also enjoy seamless connections
to our partner JetBlue's Terminal 5 operations, located just a short walk from
T6 gates."
