JFK Millennium Partners and Air Canada announced that Air Canada will operate from T6 when it opens to passengers in 2026, joining fellow Star Alliance partners Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and ANA as future T6 airlines. Terminal 6 is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation of JFK International Airport into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
Air Canada passengers can look forward to T6's digital-first, boutique guest experience, with a less than 5-minute average walk from the TSA security checkpoint exit to all gates,100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges and amenities, curated public art, sustainable operating features, and a premium guest experience throughout the terminal.
Air Canada Express-Jazz currently operates two daily flights from Toronto and one daily flight from Montreal to JFK Terminal 7 using its highly-rated Embraer E175 aircraft, with all flights pre-cleared for U.S. customs and immigration in Canada. The JFK service, which has been in place since March 2023, complements Air Canada's existing operations at New York's LaGuardia and Newark Airport, offering passengers a combined total of 36 daily flights between the New York market and Canada.
Together with Lufthansa, Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance, the world's most comprehensive air transportation network. It is also the only international network carrier in North America to receive a Four-Star ranking from Skytrax.
Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners commented: "We are thrilled that Air Canada has selected T6 as its future home at JFK, where passengers can expect a boutique, premium experience. This decision is also a testament to the close partnership we've built with Air Canada at T7, and we can't wait to strengthen that partnership even further as we welcome Air Canada passengers to our new, state-of-the-art T6 facility."
Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President of Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada stated: "New York is extremely popular for business, leisure and family travel for Canadians, and we are pleased to serve all the city's major airports. Moving our operation to T6 will improve the airport experience for our customers and facilitate connections with our partners. Through our connections at our Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver hubs, travelers from New York can easily reach anywhere in Canadaor onward on our international network."
