Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.

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.

Hi:
Is there any bath and bodyworks shop in the airport?
Thank you!

Is there a way, other than taxi, to get from the Terminal to Delta Air Cargo, and vice versa?

Could one call (or pre-arrange) for a cab from Air Cargo to a further destination (Ozone Park)? Would the trip from Air Cargo to Ozone Park fall under the Flat Rate Fare for Airport trips, or would it be metered?

The situation is: I need to get to& from Delta Air Cargo to p/u and drop off my dog. I would be w/out the dog going to and from the terminal, and so wouldn't HAVE to travel by cab if other options were available. Would need the cab though between Air Cargo and Ozone Park, both coming and going.

Looking for the least expensive way to travel. Traveling daylight hours both times. Non-peak outbound, possibly Peak hours for the portion from AirCargo to JFK Terminal on the return journey.

Thank you in advance for any assistance/info you can provide.

I am flying out Aug 20th flight 1089 to Miami with a connection, flight 2299 to St Kitts. My flight out of JFK (1089) is scheduled to depart at 5:40am, what time should I plan to get to airport?
