Qatar Airways is set to open its first exclusive US lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport, marking a milestone in luxury air travel. The new lounge at JFK’s New Terminal One will offer premium amenities tailored for the airline’s business class travelers.
A 15,000-Square-Foot Haven for Travelers
The lounge, spanning 15,000 square feet, will feature VIP check-in, prayer rooms, duty-free shopping, and direct gate access. Designed to enhance the passenger experience, the space reflects Qatar Airways’ commitment to blending convenience with sophistication.
Moving Operations to New Terminal One
By 2026, Qatar Airways will relocate its JFK operations from Terminal 8 to New Terminal One, where it has operated since 2008. The move aligns with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion overhaul of JFK Airport.
Part of JFK’s $19 Billion Revamp
The New Terminal One is central to JFK’s redevelopment, featuring a 2.6 million-square-foot international hub. The terminal will house leading global airlines such as Air France, Korean Air, and Royal Air Maroc. The first phase opens in 2026, with full completion expected by 2030.
The Largest Terminal at JFK
With 23 gates, the New Terminal One will become JFK’s largest terminal, offering a seamless passenger journey with modernized facilities, expanded terminals, and an integrated ground transportation center.
