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 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.

Hi,
I am bringing a dog with me on my flight from Taiwan on July 3. It has all of it's shots and paperwork, BUT I am still not clear about what she will have to do at the airport. Will she have to be inspected by someone before they let her go out of the airport? Will that person be working at 10:15 when my flight arrives? I have looked around, but I dont know what department to contact about this. Anyone who has brought a dog in with them to JFK or has any info; it is much appreciated! You can also email me directly at tyrub@aol.com
Best,
Tyler
