John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport: Terminal 8 Expansion – American Airlines
American Airlines
R.M. Chin & Associates, Inc. (CHIN) is providing program management services for the American Airlines (AA) Terminal 8 Expansion Project at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport. CHIN’s team of Paul Sefcovic, Kevin Wheelis, Kim Cifarelli, Nadeem Banda, and Tom Coyne are working alongside AA and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) to modify and create two new gates and upgrade three other gates while also expanding the Terminal 8 footprint in two different locations. This project is a critical early component of the $13 billion JFK Redevelopment Program, allowing British Airways and Iberia to collocate at Terminal 8 with American Airlines.
Concourse C Gate Upgrades
The project consists of the modification of existing regional and narrow-body gates to add three new wide-body gates. Enhancements at the new gates include new fixed bridges, refurbished passenger boarding bridges, fuel pit relocations, utilities and pavement modifications, new ground power and pre-conditioned air units, hardstand and gate striping, and new visual docking guidance systems.
Terminal Bump Outs
Two separate terminal bump outs are also included in the project:
- A 60’ bump out which includes a new hold room and boarding structures for Gates 18 and 20, a solar roof, refresh and expansion of existing restrooms, and relocated passenger boarding bridges
- A 30’ bump out highlighted by an expanded Baggage Handling System completed in three phases. The expansion also includes a new green roof, egress pathway, new International Claims device, new restroom, and substation
- Shell spaces were also created for a new Lounge and Tenant office support spaces
Parcel M Civil Works
- Developed and paved approximately 20 acres to create four new aircraft hardstands, which included new high mast light poles and underground utilities
