Norse Atlantic Airways Selects JFK’s New Terminal 6 for Operations in 2026

Norse Atlantic Airways recently announced signage of a letter of intent to start operations at the new Terminal 6 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in 2026. T6 is a main component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion airport transformation. The construction also includes another new terminal, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center and a new roadway network.

“JFK remains a cornerstone in our network strategy, serving as a gateway between the United States and Europe. Establishing Terminal 6 as our main hub in 2026 will enable us to offer an even more seamless and modern travel experience to our passengers. We are proud to continue our growth at JFK, reinforcing its status as a key hub that supports our vision of making continents and cultures accessible to more people,” said Bård Nordhagen, chief commercial officer, Norse Atlantic Airways.

Norse Atlantic, which currently operates from JFK Terminal 7, will be among the first airlines to experience the new terminal’s digital-first, boutique guest experience in 2026. Travelers will find a less-than-five-minute average walk from security to gates; 100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounging and amenities; curated public art; and sustainable features.

“We have enjoyed a fantastic partnership with Norse Atlantic since the very beginning of their JFK T7 operations, and are excited to have them join us at the new T6, where Norse Atlantic passengers can expect nothing less than a five-star experience,” said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners, the company managing the build of T6.

T6 is currently under construction, with the first six gates opening in 2026 and construction expected to be completed by 2028.
