  • John F. Kennedy International Airport - more commonly known as simply JFK - is one of three primary airports serving the New York City metropolitan area. The airport handled over 60 million passengers in 2019, making it one of the busiest airports by passenger volume in the United States and the busiest international air gateway into North America.
    While you may be familiar with the concourses, gates, and even views of the runways, we wanted to know… What is it like behind the scenes, and… Who are the people that help keep JFK running?
    In this episode, we go behind the scenes and give you an exclusive look at the inner workings of JFK airport. This is Airport Uncovered: JFK.

    With "Kennedy Steve" working terminal One I can only assume that it is the best run terminal at JFK. A little side note is that the night in 1963 that the VOR at JFK was changed from it's older IDL to JFK, I was just changing the radio to that station as the turnover occurred. After hearing the Morse code IDL for that VOR it was kind of confusing that the next Morse code came as JFK.

    WHY isn't it mentioned, among ALL that chatter, that the Saarinen TWA terminal is now anchoring a HOTEL? The amazing central shell houses the lobby/restaurants/bars, and rooms are in custom-built semicircular buildings contoured around the site between the Saarinen building the the Jet Blue terminal. I've stayed there awaiting a 10:30 am Emirates A380 flight to Dubai and onward to Mauritius. Rooms are tiny, but with a runway-view room, aviation enthusiasts can get a view of the Emirates and Singapore Airlines gates -- and they both route the A380 into JFK. (SQ's routes the 380 to/from Frankfurt and another A350 Long-Range aircraft goes nonstop to Singapore over the North Pole in a 19 hour ride.) Lodging at The TWA Hotel an exciting way to spend the night in New York, either prior to or after an odd-hours flight. Just an update from a glaring omission in this video, thanks.
