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.

how long between flights
Hi, We are leaving from JFK aug. 4 17.40 to Europe, but am connecting beforehand from San Francisco - how long do I need between flights? My insurance company told me there is a official timeframe, if the flights are not from the same travel agent, and I want to be sure that they'll cover if the flight from San Francisco is delayed, and I cant make my connection to Europe.
best regards
