Qatar Airways has selected The New Terminal One at JFK International Airport as its new home in New York. The carrier will move its operations to the new terminal in 2026.
The airline said its new home at the terminal will feature a 15,000 square foot lounge. This will mark the airline's first dedicated lounge in the US.
Qatar said this move is a part of its commitment to “delivering an exceptional travel experience”, as well as reflecting New York City's “strategic importance”.
“Our new state-of-the-art lounge will provide an enhanced experience at each touchpoint and complement our industry-leading business class travel experience," said Qatar Airways group CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer. "From dedicated airport transfers to VIP check-in to the finest of retail and dining options, premium passengers will be offered the world’s best service at New Terminal One.”
Qatar Airways launched operations in New York in 2008 at Terminal 8 at JFK Airport.
