QUEENS, N.Y. - Renovations at John F. Kennedy Airport are getting a boost from American Airlines and British Airways.
The airlines are investing nearly $350 million to help modernize Terminal 8 at JFK.
The expansion will feature new lounges, enhanced baggage and upgraded concessions.
Four months ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a $13 billion plan to transform the aging airport and increase capacity.
The project is expected to be completed by 2025.
Meanwhile, the TWA Hotel at Terminal 5 should open by this summer.
It has 512 rooms and features a 10,000 square foot rooftop observation deck.
