Iberia moves to the new Terminal 8 in John F. Kennedy Airport in New York

The Spanish airline begins operations in the new Terminal 8 of John F. Kennedy International Airport together with American Airlines, British Airways and Finnair

On December 1st, Iberia will move from Terminal 7 to the newly remodeled and expanded Terminal 8 of New York's John F. Kennedy airport, where it will operate jointly with American Airlines, British Airways and Finnair. With a $400 million investment in the remodeling, expansion and improvement of the terminal, the move will bring the oneworld partners closer together.

The Terminal 8 covers an area equivalent to twice the size of Madison Square Garden in New York and will accommodate around 10 million passengers a year.

The investment made and the new location at T8 will provide an improved and seamless experience for customers, while supporting the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's ambitious plan to transform JFK into a key global airport.

Nuovo Terminal 8 per Iberia al JFK di New York

Iberia has already started its winter season, -which goes from 29 October to 25 March-, marked by the recovery of all its pre-pandemic capacity and a firm commitment to the US market. The United States continues to be a priority market for Iberia, with the airline offering more flights and seats than in the same period of 2019. Specifically, it plans to offer 589,000 seats, an increase of 15% compared to 2019, and around 2,000 flights, 21% more than the year before the pandemic.

Iberia will be offering flights to six destinations in the US this winter: Dallas -which opened in June 2022-, New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boston. In addition, the Spanish airline is growing in various destinations in the US compared to last winter, when restrictions on travel from Europe were not lifted until November. In Miami, itwill go from 10 to 14 weekly frequencies -two daily flights- and in New York, from 10 to 13 weekly frequencies, reaching 14 in March.

Likewise, Iberia also announces changes in terms of destinations. The flights to Dallas, which were initially launched to operate in the summer only, will be maintained during the winter season, initially with three weekly frequencies, which will gradually increase until reaching a daily flight starting in June. Iberia's program in the US is complemented by three weekly flights to Boston, another three to Los Angeles and another five weekly flights to Chicago.
