ANA to Operate from New State-of-the-Art Terminal 6 at JFK International Airport in 2026

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has announced that it will be among the first airlines to operate from the new Terminal 6 at John F. Kennedy International Airport when it opens to passengers in 2026. This move is part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation project aimed at transforming JFK Airport into a world-class gateway.

The new Terminal 6, managed by JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), promises a digital-first, boutique guest experience. Key features include a less than five-minute walk from the TSA security checkpoint to all gates, 100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges, and amenities, as well as curated public art and sustainable operating features. This terminal is designed to provide a premium and seamless experience for passengers.

ANA has been a long-term tenant at JFK Terminal 7, where it has operated two daily nonstop flights to Tokyo (Haneda) for over 30 years. The airline will join other Star Alliance partners, such as Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines, at Terminal 6. ANA’s executives expressed confidence that customers will be highly satisfied with the new terminal and highlighted the importance of New York to ANA’s operations.

The broader transformation project at JFK includes the construction of new terminals, the expansion and modernization of existing ones, a new ground transportation center, and a simplified roadway network. This project is expected to significantly enhance the overall passenger experience and operational efficiency at the airport).
