JFK – Construction Causing Delays

On March 15, 2015, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey started a runway improvement project at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. This infrastructure investment will continue through the end of 2015 and will allow the airport to handle aircraft more efficiently, ultimately reducing congestion and delays at JFK. During this construction, taxiways near the JetBlue terminal will have limited access, and one of JFK’s major runways will be closed for any departures or arrivals for several months. In the first few days of construction delays have reached 4 hours at times.
