Kennedy Airport Terminal Map

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is located in the southeastern section of Queens County, New York City, on Jamaica Bay. It is fifteen miles by highway from midtown Manhattan.

The Central Terminal Area (CTA) consists of nine airline passenger terminals numbered 1 to 9, surrounded by a dual ring of peripheral taxiways (Terminal 5 is temporarily closed). Initially 655 acres, the CTA was enlarged to 880 acres by relocation of the taxiways to provide space needed for expansion of the passenger terminals.

To further assist travelers, a color-coding system (green, blue, orange, yellow and red) is used on all roadway signs leading to each terminal - from the entrances to the airport to parking near each terminal.
