Message from JFK GM Charles Everett
"I have been in the company of heroes these last
several weeks, watching this proud and determined
JFK community confront an unprecedented
challenge. On behalf of the Port Authority of NY &
NJ, I cannot thank you enough for the tireless work
you have done to keep our great airport running
so that we can play our central and critical role in
helping the region cope with and eventually recover
from the pandemic. Please keep yourselves, your
loved ones and your colleagues as safe as possible.
We will persevere. " Charles Everett.
