Press Release: New Terminal One at JFK issues facility maintenance RFP

The New Terminal One at JFK, an all-international terminal scheduled to open in 2026, is announcing the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a world-class service facility maintenance service provider. 

The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network. 

The selected facility maintenance services provider will supply staffing, materials, supplies, and equipment for operation; maintain buildings, structures, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, public spaces, and FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment); as well as support seasonal transitions to maintain operational efficiency. 

“At the New Terminal One, ensuring exceptional facility maintenance is a key part of our commitment to deliver a world-class experience for our guests,” said Marisa Von Wieding, Vice President of Operations. “We’re excited to partner with a provider who shares our vision of setting new standards for airport operations and ensuring our facilities are always at their best.” 

Aligned with the New Terminal One and the Port Authority’s commitment to diversity and creating economic opportunities in the local community, the developer strongly encourages local, minority, women and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to participate in the RFP. All participants in the RFP must submit diversity participation plans detailing their strategy to achieve the New Terminal One’s goals of 30% MWBE and 10% LBE participation. 

Interested participants may contact procurement@onejfk.com for further information on how to take part in the RFP. Proposals are due by May 7, 2025.

About The New Terminal One 

The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport is a bold and exciting project to develop a world-class international terminal that will serve as an anchor terminal in the Port Authority’s $19 billion transformation of JFK into a global gateway to the New York metropolitan area and the United States. The New Terminal One will set a new standard for design and service, aspiring to obtain a Top 5 Skytrax ranking and be considered one of the finest airport terminals in the world. 

The New Terminal One is being built on sites now occupied by Terminal 1 and the former Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, where it will anchor JFK’s south side. Construction is taking place in phases. The first phase, including the new arrivals and departures halls and first set of 14 new gates, is expected to open in 2026. At completion, anticipated in 2030, the New Terminal One will be 2.6 million square feet, making it the largest terminal at JFK and nearly the same size as LaGuardia Airport’s two new terminals combined. 

The New Terminal One will be a 23-gate, state-of-the-art, international-only terminal. Sustainably designed and future-focused, the terminal will feature expansive, naturally lit public spaces, cutting-edge technology, and an array of amenities, all designed to enhance the customer experience and compete with some of the highest-rated airport terminals in the world. 

The New Terminal One consortium of labor, operating, and financial partners is led by Ferrovial, JLC Infrastructure, Ullico, and Carlyle. The New Terminal One is being built by union labor and is committed to local inclusion and labor participation, focusing on diversity and capacity-building opportunities, including a commitment to target participation goals of 20% for minority-owned business enterprises, 10% for women-owned business enterprises, 10% for local business enterprises and 3% for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.
