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 will be arriving at JFK T2/3 on DELTA 2077 from Portland, OR July 27th,2012. Arrival is scheduled at 7:30am with a connecting flight out of T1 at 9:05am with Royal Air Maroc.

Do you think 1h35min is enough to move from T2/3 clear customs and be on time at the boarding gate for my 9:05am flight out of Terminal 1?

Please note that Delta changed my itinerary, I need to know if I have to ask to be moved to a different flight

Thank you.
