Qatar Airways moves to terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International

Terminal 8 is one of the airport’s newest and most modern terminals, offering 5-star amenities and services to Qatar Airways’ customers departing, arriving and transiting through New York.

Qatar Airways currently operates daily scheduled flights between Doha and New York using its flagship Boeing 777 (Extended Range) aircraft in a two-class configuration of 42 seats in Business Class and 293 in Economy.

Terminal 8 has 29 gates and 36 jet bridges, dozens of retail and food outlets, and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility that can process more than 1,600 passengers an hour. Additionally, Qatar Airways’ Business Class travellers will have access to the Admirals Club Lounge. All Qatar Airways passengers will see a refined check-in process and streamlined services at the conveniently located Gate 16.

Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar Al Baker said: “Qatar Airways passengers will see a wide range of improved benefits from our flights departing and arriving at New York JFK Terminal 8. These include a dedicated spacious check-in area, enhanced baggage facilities, as well as a wider selection of restaurants and retail stores.

“The move allows the airline to better extend our 5-star services to our passengers on the ground. The New York to Doha route plays a significant part in our ever-expanding global network and we are thrilled to enhance our service and operations here at JFK.”
