In 2026, international arrivals at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) are undergoing a massive transition due to the JFK Redevelopment Program. While international flights arrive at several terminals, the primary hub is the New Terminal One (N1), which officially opened its first phase in early 2026. This state-of-the-art facility occupies the footprint of the former Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, Terminal 4 (Delta and various international partners) and Terminal 8 (American Airlines and the Oneworld alliance) handle a significant volume of overseas arrivals. Terminal 5 also serves international passengers via JetBlue. A key feature for 2026 arrivals is the integration of Biometric E-Gates and the "Simplified Arrivals" process, which uses facial recognition to speed up U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processing. Travelers should always check their specific airline’s terminal assignment before landing, as the ongoing construction of the "New Terminal 6" continues to shift gate locations.
