JFK Terminal 4 Operations

FSDan · Wed Jan 06, 2016 6:24 am

The recent thread on ORD T5 operations piqued my interest in JFK's T4, which is another terminal that sees a huge variety of airlines and complicated operations to accommodate all players. I haven't been to JFK since DL moved most of their ops over to T4, so I'm interested in how things are handled now. When DL moved in, some of the international airlines moved out but many stayed. How do 25+ airlines (many with multiple daily flights) all manage to operate out of about 9-10 non-DL gates?

Specific questions:

1) Are all flights loaded and unloaded via jet bridges, or do some flights deplane directly from hardstands with passengers needing to ride buses? I know there are about 3 parking spots right near the end of concourse A, but are flights actually unloaded from those or do they just temporarily accommodate aircraft between being parked at gates?

2) Do airlines other than DL have their own assigned gates, or are they all common use? Is there a certain set of airlines that always use the B gates (from looking at pictures and satellite view on Google Maps, it seems like SA, W3, VS, KL, LX, KU, and CI are all usually over there; are there others?) vs. the A gates?
*2a) Do KL and VS share DL's gates, or do they operate out of B27, B29, and B31 along with the other airlines that use concourse B? What about DL/SkyTeam partners that aren't in JVs with DL such as WS, UX, CI, and CZ?
*2b) Does VX have sole use of gate A2, or do other airlines (particularly the ones that operate narrowbodies such as SY, BW, AV, and CM) use A2 as well?

3) Are A6 and A7 the only two A380 gates at T4? It looks like in the late evening there are 2 EK 380s and a SQ 380 that arrive or depart around the same time - are there problems if the SQ flight gets delayed?

1) Are all flights loaded and unloaded via jet bridges, or do some flights deplane directly from hardstands with passengers needing to ride buses?

Remote stand parking/boarding by bus does occur, particularly during the heavy summer period, but it's not a regular thing. On the B concourse side, gate B23 is used for bus boarding for example.

Quoting FSDan (Thread starter):
2) Do airlines other than SA)">DL have their own assigned gates, or are they all common use?

Pretty much common use for the other airlines though other physical limitations (e.g., SQ and EK A388s) automatically mean that certain gates are dedicated to a handful of specific flights.

LY pretty much always uses the B gates (mostly B31) due to their security set up. LX is also mostly at the B gates (B27/29/31) though I have seen them arrive at the A gates from time to time. EY, SA, AV, KU, CI, HY, PK, and CM are the other frequent B gate users.

Quoting FSDan (Thread starter):

KL shares SA)">DL's dedicated gates (usually KL is at B24 or B26 or B28). VS uses the A gates 99% of the time (the VS Clubhouse is also on the A concourse side) though occasionally you do see a VS flight departing out of B27/29/31.

All over the place...WS is usually at the A gates, CI is usually on the B concourse (B27/29/31), etc.

Wow, FSDan beat me to it!

Another essential question for understanding T4: Which DL flights use T4 and which use T2?

panamair · Wed Jan 06, 2016 12:19 pm

Quoting DiscoverCSG (Reply 2):
Which DL flights use T4 and which use T2?

DL changed their flight numbering scheme more than a year ago for JFK departures - flight numbers beginning with a "4" are scheduled to depart out of T4, while those beginning with a "2" are supposed to be out of T2. Of course, there are swaps and changes from time to time due to IROPs, etc., but in general they try to follow that policy.

Other points:
- T2 cannot handle any aircraft bigger than a 763ER, so if your flight is scheduled for a 777, A330, or 764, you will be departing out of T4.
- International flights usually leave out of T4, but during the summer, you will find some transatlantic flights leaving out of T2 as well - last summer, flights to SNN, ARN, CPH, PRG, ZRH, and the second ATH were departing regularly out of T2.

jfklganyc · Wed Jan 06, 2016 1:39 pm

The 380s park at the end of B. There is a hard stand for the 380/747 in between the two gates (Almost looks like the top of a star with the 3 tails). They shuffle them around as needed. I don't know if other gates can handle a 380 in a pinch.

As for tightness of gate scheduling, T4 has nothing on T1. If you want to discuss a clusterf**k, you need to start a forum on ops there.

T4 has lots of large gates, dual taxiways, lots of ramp space...everything T1 does not.

Long story short, the operation at T4 seems to work well. The operation at T1 does not.

I just did a quick check of the summer schedule and this principle seems to hold in all cases except one - the JFK-IST flight is #272 and is scheduled to operate on the 764.
Maybe some of the flight numbers will change. I see a JFK-LAX 767 flight that is #212, and I am pretty sure all LAX and SFO flights are supposed to depart from T4...

Yup...T1 is a real mess both inside and out. The terminal is handling way more passengers and aircraft movements than it was originally built for. LX moved over there for a short period some years ago to be closer to parent LH but then moved back to T4 rather quickly as their flights were constantly delayed. LO is also moving out this year (going to T7).

There are rumors AM is relocating from T1 to T4. It would make sense, if there is space, that KL, VS and AM share space with DL. Any news? Thoughts?

I agree. It was a great terminal but it is not anymore. Security is usually nightmarish and it does feel very, very crowded. The KE lounge is great though, as is the AF one.

I would definitely make sense for AM to move to T4. I wonder if eventually all SkyTeam airlines could/will move to T4. It would make it a lot easier for connecting pax.

FSDan · Wed Jan 06, 2016 6:49 pm

Have there been any rumblings recently regarding the completion of the T4 A concourse expansion? When that is done, DL should be able to move the rest of their operations to T4 and close T2, which could then allow for additional expansion of T1 or T4 on the ground where terminals 2 and 3 originally stood. It would be nice if AF, AZ, AM, and KE were to move to T4 as well to allow better connections for SkyTeam airlines. Maybe the complicated ownership of T1 will prevent that, though.

I remember that, it was around the fall of 2007 I think. I was departing from T1 on AF and there were a few LX A330's on the ground at one time - one of which was shoehorned in backwards between gates 5 and 7 (that's right, tail to the building) with airstairs attached and bus boarding. IIRC that setup did not last very long and was very complex operationally.

That won't happen. AF and KE are part owners of T1. Connections between them and Delta happen in other cities. The NYC seats are better used for O & D.

The same can be said about KL too, but apparently KL co-locates with DL at T4-B. I'm sure if AF wants to sell their T1 stake there's always someone willing at the right price.

A nice swap would be LX to T1 and AF to T4 - that way both sides win. AF can also retain their T1 stake while leasing out their share of assets to whoever wants to utilize it. AF can even dock their A380s over T4-A for that matter (whether there's any space at all during that slot time is a different question)

KL is the only carrier that uses the DL gates. On the rare occasion that VS uses the B gates, it has used one of the non-DL common use gates (i.e., B27, B29, or B31).

Quoting DiscoverCSG (Reply 18):

The 'spider web' is gone and three mainline gates have replaced it in T2 (gates C64, C65, C66).

DL Connection flights now use gates at the T4B extension (gates B42-B55). Gates B42-B55 were built for the DCI operation although mainline aircraft do sometimes use gates B42 and B43. Also, one or two of the DCI gates also have 'sterile' walkways to the Immigration areas as Delta has flights from YQB to JFK that don't have preclearance at YQB.

Gates A6 and A7 are both 380 capable and just recently a new gate was renovated to accommodate 380 operations on the B concourse. It's either gate B28 or B30. This was added in light of recent upguages by OZ followed by EY.

So, if I'm counting correctly, DL+KL have 40 gates at JFK. Not unimpressive!

You're underestimating it. Per PANYNJ 2014 report, the entirety of JFK is 22.8% connecting. In comparison, LGA is merely 10.8%.

For Skyteam INTL ops, I suspect that figure to be higher. DTW and ATL overflies quite a bit of the population where JFK is most suitable for connections.

The majority of connections happening at JFK are AA to AA, B6 to B6, and DL to DL. Every seat that can be sold by AF and KL to NYC is prioritized over lower margin secondary US destinations. There are definitely some passengers who connect, but not nearly enough to prompt AF to move. You're basically suggesting they go from being homeowners to renters. It makes no financial sense. Greater passenger convenience is nice, but there's no financial incentive for them to do it.

By that argument, KL should move back to T1 with AF then, since your argument is that connections are low margin and not worth the effort. Where KL was pre-merger is no longer relevant as the importance is to achieve synergy, which a split terminal is hardly the case.

It's also a self-fulfilling prophecy - few connect there because the setup makes the connection process a hassle and stressful. Your assumption is that pax lost is merely routed at DTW/ATL when in fact it could've been lost to another alliance.

Just look over to T8 - AA is co-locating with as many oneworld carriers as they can fit, with only major exceptions being BA, and maybe CX.

Connecting traffic is less valuable than JFK bound traffic and there are only so many seats to be sold. Your assumption that AF would somehow gain enough passengers to make up for being a landlord in T1 seems a bit far fetched, given that we're talking about a fairly small area of North America that doesn't make more sense over one of the other shared AF/DL destinations . They connect passengers to JFK, not through it.

Having traveled in and out of JFK a lot recently on domestic flights, and just one inbound international flight, I generally wouldn't use it for international connections, particularly vs. say ATL or DFW or DTW where everything is inside one security area, at least for outbound trips. And having alliance partners in different terminals, in some cases, doesn't make any sense at all. But if a large portion of JFK traffic being O&D, it might not make that much of a difference to the airlines.

Once T2 goes, there will be so much open space, hopefully not just an even larger parking lot for planes. Having all of DL in T4 would be great, but it is an awfully stretched out concourse. It seems like use of land at JFK isn't very efficient.

The bottom line is T4 is a complete wreck since DL moved in. The B concourse extends to areas where you had to drive to before. The entire equipment storage area is gone, The fun you could have had before is gone especially when waiting for family or friends. DL should have fixed T3 and take down T2 and work with T1 since most of the skyteam airlines are there.

Quoting DiscoverCSG (Reply 47):
A quick search for June 6 turns up:

DL1359 900 AUS 319
DL1312 1830 DEN 320
DL1729 1925 TPA 717
DL741 1115 ATL 738
DL1870 1845 SEA 752
DL1443 1700 SFO 763
DL5598 1315 PHL CR2
DL5513 1500 SYR CR7
DL3926 1500 YQB ER4
DL740 1130 MIA M88

Quite likely to change before then with the summer schedule is finalized. If you look at these destinations/flights, they all have flight numbers starting with 2 or 4 today through the end of May..
