Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will commence operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport’s (JFK) highly anticipated New Terminal One when it debuts in 2026. As part of the move, Turkish Airlines will introduce an expansive, cutting-edge lounge for its premium customers, further cementing its reputation for world-class service.
