Daily-flight figures are approximate, sourced from public airport / airline disclosures. Comprehensive per-carrier volume data lives in the US DOT BTS T-100 segment dataset and is a planned upgrade.
Live conditions
METAR / TAF from NOAA Aviation Weather Center · NOTAMs from FAA NOTAM Search. Live data refreshed on each page load.
History
Opened 1948 as New York International, often called Idlewild Airport for the golf course it was built on. Renamed in December 1963 in memory of John F. Kennedy. The single largest international gateway to the United States. The TWA Flight Center designed by Eero Saarinen (1962) sits preserved as the lobby of the TWA Hotel; six other terminals serve the major carriers. The Port Authority is in the middle of a multi-decade billion-dollar terminal redevelopment program (Terminals 1, 6, 8 expansion).
More about this airport
About this profile
Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.
Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.
This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
