Korean Air’s premium customers can look forward to an improved lounge experience at The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport, soon to be the new home for Korean Air in the city of New York.
The new lounge, which will be one of the largest in Korean Air’s global network outside its hub at Seoul Incheon, further strengthens the partnership between Korean Air and The New Terminal One which was first announced in May 2023.
The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation centre, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
Located at the end of the New Terminal One’s east pier, the lounge can offer direct boarding access to aircraft, providing unparalleled convenience as part of a world-class experience for Korean Air customers departing New York City.
Offering panoramic views of the airfield, the new Korean Air lounge will be an expansive light-filled space featuring premium amenities for the airline’s First and Prestige Class customers and elite frequent flyers.
Among the lounge features that customers can look forward to is a show kitchen and bar, offering a diverse array of fresh culinary delights, crafted in the on-site kitchen.
David Pacey, executive vice president & chief of in-flight Service and lounges, Korean Air said: “We are delighted to announce our plans to launch a new lounge at The New Terminal One (NTO) at JFK.
“This premier facility, with panoramic airfield views, will offer our customers departing from New York an elevated experience, featuring top-notch technology and service.
“We look forward to collaborating closely with NTO as we prepare for the unveiling of this state-of-the-art lounge in 2026.”
Jennifer Aument, the new terminal one chief executive officer said: “Our team at The New Terminal One is committed to offering a world-class experience for our guests and working closely with our partner airlines is key to that effort.
“We are pleased to expand our agreement with Korean Air, one of the world’s leading airlines, and look forward to working with their team to deliver an unmatched experience for Korean Air’s valued customers flying out of JFK Airport.”
