John F. Kennedy International Airport’s New Terminal One (NTO) has announced a partnership with Korean Air.

The deal will allow Korean Air give passengers “a transformed premium in-terminal experience to match its award-winning in-flight service”, according to NTO.

Korean operates at JFK’s Terminal 1 but will have a “seamless transition” to  NTO once the latter is open, the new operator said.

“We are excited to announce this strategic partnership between New Terminal One with one of the top airlines in the world,” said Dr. Gerrard P. Bushell, NTO’s president and chief executive.

“Korean Air is proud to be a partner with what will be one of the premier gateways to the United States,” said Jin Ho Lee, senior vice president and director of Korean Air Americas Regional Headquarters. “
