ANA Selects JFK's Terminal 6 as Its Future Home

DALLAS — JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company behind the construction and operation of John F. Kennedy International Airport's (JFK) new Terminal 6 (T6), and Tokyo-based ANA All Nippon Airways (NH) announced that the airline will be among the first carriers to operate from the new state-of-the-art terminal when it opens to passengers in 2026.

Terminal 6, a pivotal component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s US$19 billion transformation of JFK, serves as a gateway to a world-class aviation experience. It boasts two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.

ANA passengers can anticipate a digital-first, boutique guest experience at Terminal 6. With an average walk time of less than 5 minutes from the TSA security checkpoint exit to all gates, the terminal offers 100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges, and amenities. Curated public art, sustainable operating features, and a premium guest experience throughout the terminal enhance the overall journey.

Comments from JFK Millennium Partners, ANA Executives

"ANA has been a long-term tenant at JFK Terminal 7, where we've seen firsthand their commitment to quality, operational safety and exceptional passenger care since our JMP team took over the management of Terminal 7 two years ago. We look forward to elevating the ANA guest experience even further as we write the next chapter of our partnership together at JFK Terminal 6," said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners.

ANA Executive Vice President, Alliances & International Affairs, Facilities, Digital Transformation, Katsuya Goto said: "JFK Terminal 6 is an excellent terminal – not only in terms of customer value, but also in terms of operations. I am confident that our customers will consistently be highly satisfied. We look forward to serving our customers in Terminal 6 and providing long-term value with the continuous support of JFK Millennium Partners."

ANA Executive Vice President, The Americas, General Manager, New York, Toshio Nomura said: "New York is one of ANA's most important markets, which we have served for over 30 years. We have long wanted to progress the customer experience at JFK, and it's a great honor for us to welcome our customers to the new Terminal 6 with our latest 777-300ER product."
