History - Construction of the airport began in 1942 with modest ambitions. Only 1,000 acres (4 km²) of land on the site of Idlewild golf course were earmarked for use. The golf course provided the airport's original namesake, Idlewild Airport. First commercial flights began on July 1, 1948. The airport was formally dedicated as New York International Airport on July 31, 1948. It was re-dedicated on December 24, 1963 as John F. Kennedy International Airport, following action of the Mayor and Council of the City of New York, and a resolution of the Commissioners of the Port Authority. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, JFK was one of the first airports in the United States to be temporarily closed.

Hello:
I've just had surgery on my foot, and need to catch a flight next week.
It'll be difficult for me to maneuver with my crutches and my luggage.
Is there any way the airport can accommodate someone in my condition as soon as I get out of my cab for instance with a wheelchair and help with luggage?
Thanks in advance for your insight.
