Kennedy International Airport's new world-class Terminal 6 (T6), and Condor, an airline known for its curated leisure travel experience and recently named, 'Best Transatlantic Leisure Airline' by Business Traveler magazine*, today announced that Condor has selected the new T6 for its future operations at JFK.

At the airport, travelers 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 new terminal.
"Condor has been an excellent partner at T7, and we are thrilled that they've put their trust in our JMP team once again by joining us in the new T6," said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners. "We look forward to offering Condor passengers our own curated guest experience when our first gates open in early 2026," Thody added.
"As New York/JFK is one of our most important North American gateways, we are extremely thrilled to be moving into the new, state-of-the art T6," said Mikko Turtiainen, director of sales, The Americas, Condor. "The boutique, curated guest experience of the new terminal is right in line with Condor's brand DNA. Our eye-catching striped branding is representative of the diversity of destinations and guests we serve as well as our crew, and we are all about personalizing the guest experience. Condor passengers will also enjoy seamless connections to our partner JetBlue's Terminal 5 operations, located just a short walk from T6 gates."
