ners–consisting of the Port Authority,
The New Terminal One, Jetblue-JFK
Millennium Partners, and American
Airlines–alongside the Advisory
Council announced the following four
new initiatives:
- A job recruiting program to
match job seekers in the local community
with jobs in construction and
airport operations; the program will
be carried out by dedicated staff at offices
in Jamaica and Far Rockaway
focused on filling open positions with
qualified Queens residents.
• A second chance employment
initiative targeted on providing
jobs to formerly incarcerated
individuals and others with past
involvement in the criminal justice
system. This program involves a
commitment by the Port Authority,
terminal operators, and other employers
in the redevelopment program
to interview individuals with
a justice touch point from the local
communities for jobs associated
with both airport construction and
airport operations.
• A new science and technology
education program for 300 local
students grades 1-12 in Queens to encourage
them to seek out jobs in aviation;
this program will be carried
out through a local partnership with
York College building on a successful
prior STEM program.
• A two-part initiative focused
on providing concession opportunities
to local retailers and restaurants.
First, The New Terminal One
has made a major commitment to reserve
at least 50% of food and beverage
venues for New York City-based
restaurants which will include a significant
focus on Queens-based businesses.
Second, the Port Authority
and JFK Airport will roll out an extensive
training program to enable
and equip local small businesses to
qualify and compete for other future
concessions opportunities as part of
JFK redevelopment.
In addition to these four initiatives,
the JFK Redevelopment partners
will continue to work with the
Advisory Council and the community
to advance additional community-focused
programs throughout the redevelopment
specifically related to a
variety of community benefits including:
job opportunities, small business
outreach and development, education
for local residents, and environmental
stewardship.
The JFK Redevelopment Community
Advisory Council was created
in October 2018 by Governor Cuomo.
It is co-chaired by Representative
Gregory Meeks and Queens Borough
President Melinda Katz and is composed
of elected officials, community
boards, nonprofit organizations, civic
organizations and clergy leaders in
the targeted communities of Southeast
Queens, Southwest Queens, the
Rockaways and Western portions of
Nassau County.
The Advisory Council meets quarterly
in public settings throughout the
targeted communities. Four committees–
Business Development, Career/
Workforce Development, Education
and Environmental Stewardship–
also hold public meetings on a regular
basis at which the Port Authority,
the terminal developers, committee
members and other community members
discuss strategies and programs
to provide opportunities for local
businesses, jobseekers and students
interested in aviation.

Southwest Cargo is now at JFK
Southwest has a truck that
leaves JFK at 11pm daily dropping
off at LaGuardia to be placed on any
of their cargo 48 flights out of LGA
daily. Shippers can also route it out
from LAX or anywhere else for example
for delivery to JFK. The Customer
can pick up at 6am from JFK
having arrived from any world location
that Southwest has connections
to.
Keffas explains that they have
taken the hassle out of truckers having
to go to LGA when they have
a convenient, no extra cost, depot
right at JFK.
Those that prefer to do business
with Southwest will find this storefront
a closer and time saving convenience
Southwest works with a local
JFK cartage company to do local
NY five boros handling Southwest
cargo and brings it to JFK since it is
the freight hub of convenience and
the center of the metro NY cargo
network.
Keffas is excited to have this new
facility and service . He says, “We
are shipping from JFK to anywhere
our planes fly with the same tailto
tail system that has made Southwest
so successful in the cargo end
of the business. We look forward to
making our customer’s life easier
and more profitable with our new
JFK location.”
