Experience NYC with Terminal 4

New York is a city defined by energy, culture, and character. At T4, we believe your connection to the city should feel just as strong in the terminal as it does out on the streets. 

We build this Sense of Place through our arts and culture program, highlighting the creativity that makes New York unique, and through a food and beverage selection curated from well-known local favorites. Whether you are arriving, connecting, or departing, we want you to continue feeling the spirit of NYC right up to the boarding door. 

From first-time visitors to returning travelers, our aim is for every passenger to feel welcomed, inspired, and immersed in the essence of New York throughout their time at T4. 

Sustainability

When you travel through Terminal 4, you are part of our effort to build a more sustainable future for New York.

We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and creating a healthier space for travelers, employees, and our community. Across the terminal, you’ll find initiatives that conserve resources, reduce waste, and support a more sustainable future.

Water bottle refill stations and water-efficient fixtures help reduce single-use plastics. Our catch basin cleaning program keeps pollutants out of local waterways and protects surrounding ecosystems in and around Jamaica Bay.

We sort and manage waste responsibly, with recyclables and organics separated, and compost sent to a local New York farm where it is put to 

Inside the terminal, we continuously monitor indoor air quality, and all cleaning products meet strict safety standards so you can feel comfortable during your time at T4.

Reducing our footprint across operations.

We’re also investing in cleaner energy by introducing solar power throughout the terminal and building a fleet of all-electric buses that reduce emissions on the airfield.
