JFK Terminal 4 hits record 27 million passengers in 2024

JFK International Air Terminal (JFKIAT), the operator of Terminal 4, has announced that T4 reached 27 million passengers in 2024, a new milestone, marking the highest number of passengers ever recorded in a single year at JFK’s largest terminal.

“We celebrated this achievement with the travelers on avianca flight 211, which carried the 27 millionth passenger, and held a celebration in the Retail Hall for all of our T4 travelers to share in the moment,” wrote the operator in a LinkedIn post.

JFKIAT reports that the transformation of T4, which began in late 2021, has resulted in an extension of the A concourse with the opening of 10 new gates, and the introduction of cutting-edge technology to innovate T4’s systems for the future. These developments have made it possible for the terminal to accommodate this record-breaking number of passengers, it said.
