USA. American Express and JFKIAT have conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for what will be the world’s largest Centurion Lounge, set to open at New York JFK Terminal 4 in 2020.
The more than 15,000sq ft lounge will span two levels and offer views of the airfield. It will feature a complimentary custom bar and food menu, premium restrooms and shower suites, access to high-speed Wi-Fi, and noise-buffering workspaces.
“As the international gateway to New York City and the rest of the USA, Terminal 4 serves more than 21.5 million travellers each year,” noted JFKIAT President and CEO Roel Huinink. “The Centurion Lounge is a perfect match for our passengers who already expect premium service and experiences when they travel out of Terminal 4, and we are very excited about this partnership.”
American Express SVP, Global Loyalty & Benefits Chris Cracchiolo commented: “As a major gateway for both domestic and international travel, we’re thrilled to soon provide our card members with a premium lounge experience in Terminal 4, one of the most active air terminals in the country.”
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Director of Aviation Huntley Lawrence said: “We are very pleased that American Express has chosen Terminal 4 for its largest Centurion Lounge yet. The Centurion Lounge will provide a new amenity for passengers at one of the highest volume terminals in New York City.”
American Express said it would open other Centurion Lounge locations in Charlotte, Denver, London, and Los Angeles over the next year.
