USA. John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport Terminal 4 operator JFKIAT has opened a new Capital One Lounge in partnership with Capital One and TAV Operation Services.
It is the first such facility in a New York City airport and forms part of the US$1.5 billion transformation project in T4.
The new lounge is JFK T4’s third credit card membership lounge and billed as Capital One’s flagship lounge location.
The facility joins the terminal’s premium lounge collection which already includes the Delta One Lounge, Delta Sky Club, the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways, Emirates Lounge, the Air India Maharaja Lounge and Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse.
Located on Level 3 of T4’s Retail Hall, the Capital One Lounge immerses guests in the flavours and culture of New York City through local F&B partners, including Ess-a-Bagel, Murray’s Cheese, Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters, TALEA Beer Co., Death & Co., and more.
The lounge also features destination-inspired design elements. From silkscreens and sculptures to works on wood and canvas, more than 40 original artworks from New York artists are on display.
JFKIAT CEO Roel Huinink commented, “Designed to meet the needs of modern travellers, the opening of the Capital One Lounge echoes our deep commitment to elevating offerings for our airline partners’ premium passengers and enhancing Terminal 4’s overall experience.
“From the locally inspired food & beverage options to the beautifully curated design that captures the essence of New York City, every detail was carefully evaluated to provide guests with convenience, comfort and a true sense of place.
“We’re proud to partner with Capital One and TAV Operation Services to offer this exceptional new space that elevates hospitality at T4 and delivers the seamless, world-class travel experience our passengers deserve.”
TAV Airports CCO and TAV Operation Services CEO Aude Ferrand said, “We are excited to partner with Capital One and JFKIAT in bringing the Capital One Lounge to life – a space that reflects our shared vision of delivering a seamless, world-class travel experience.
“Designed with the travellers’ needs and expectations in mind, this lounge offers an experience defined by its modern, airy atmosphere, comprehensive amenities and attentive service.
“We are particularly happy to extend our partnership with Capital One to JFK. Our operational experience across 21 countries – from Chile to Japan and France – combined with our brand portfolio, including Primeclass and Extime is key in tailoring premium, end-to-end travel hospitality and loyalty solutions.”
The lounge’s debut is one of the latest additions to T4’s commercial programme as the terminal continues its transformation, following the launch of JFKIAT’s North Star initiative.
JFKIAT noted the scheme aims to reimagine and enhance every facet of the T4 experience. ✈
