## Connecting JFK to the World

## Experience/Facilities

Delta and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey broke ground on a [$1.5 billion transformation project at JFK](https://news.delta.com/delta-new-york-officials-break-ground-latest-phase-jfk-transformation-terminal-4) in 2021. As of January 2023, Delta has officially moved its operations out of Terminal 2 and consolidated all operations to Terminal 4, with 10 new gates now open on Concourse A.



The updated check-in and baggage drop area utilizes the latest technology to improve efficiency during busy travel times and includes the following enhancements:



- Delta’s signature digital backwall with up-to-date gate information.



- Self-service check-in kiosks.



- Enhanced bag drop locations.



Following this latest expansion, all 28 gates located in Concourse B can accommodate a range of aircraft types and now exclusively serve Delta and its partners’ customers. This program also expanded the main security checkpoint, the lower-level transfer security checkpoint and domestic baggage claim, added new restrooms and made improvements to the check-in lobby.
