John F. Kennedy International Airport (IATA: JFK, ICAO: KJFK, FAA LID: JFK) (colloquially referred to as JFK Airport or JFK) is an international airport in New York City. The airport is the busiest international air passenger gateway into North America,[5] the 20th-busiest airport in the world, the sixth-busiest airport in the United States, and the busiest airport in the New York airport system, having handled over 62.5 million passengers in 2019.[6] More than ninety airlines operate from the airport, with nonstop or direct flights to destinations in all six inhabited continents.[7][8]

JFK is located in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens,[9] 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Midtown Manhattan. The airport features six passenger terminals and four runways. JFK is a hub for both American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, and it is the primary operating base for JetBlue. JFK was also formerly a hub for Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, National, and Tower Air.

The facility opened in 1948 as New York International Airport[10][11] and was commonly known as Idlewild Airport.[12] Following John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, the airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport as a tribute to the 35th President.
