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.

No reason for you to have a problem as long as you have all the documents needed.

Hi i am traveling into the jkf airport on the 17th Jan, we have arranged our own transport to and from the hotel, how long do we need to be at the airport before the flight back to the uk?

You will need to be at the airport at least 2 hours before your actual flight.

what is the check in time for an international flight?

At least 2 hours before your scheduled flight.

We were aboard a flight waiting for departure when JFK officially closed due to blizzard about 10PM on 26 December 2010. We finally departed just after midnight the morning of 12/28/10. Now we need verification of JFK closure to make a travel insurance claim. Is there a way to obtain this record online? (We would work through the carrier, Egyptair, but their website doesn't permit such inquiries.) Thank you.
