AIRPORT VOICE, JUNE 2021 5
JFK Terminal 2
Reopens
AirTrain now serves T2
Delta Terminal 2 has reopened after months being closed due to the pandemic
loss of passenger traffic.
All passengers will report check-in and go through security at T4 then be
bussed by Delta Shuttle to T2 for their departing flights.
Delta is using this terminal for small jets for early morning and afternoon
flights to more regional destinations.
Arriving passengers with a connection to other T4 flights will take the Delta
Shuttle to T4 without having to go through security again.
Passengers arriving at JFK at T2 are able to get the AirTrain across the street
for transport to Federal Circle, long term parking fields or other terminals for connecting
flights.
