New York governor announces first phase of cargo unit at JFK
NEW YORK's Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a 33-year term lease between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Aero JFK II for a 346,000-square foot cargo facility at New York John F Kennedy International Airport.
The facility will be occupied and operated by Paris-based Worldwide Flight Services and its airline partners. The US$132 million investment is the first phase in a "comprehensive vision plan" for the modernisation of the airport's cargo operations.
The project includes $70 million for the new cargo facility and $62.2 million to upgrade and realign two taxiways to accommodate larger cargo aircraft.
Future plans include upgrading and expanding cargo facility on the airport's north side, reducing transfer times, repositioning cargo operations for better road access and phasing out obsolete and underused warehouses.
Said Mr Cuomo: "We are transforming JFK into a world-class, state-of-the art airport and - with this new cargo facility - a major economic engine".
