The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in collaboration with Realterm and Worldwide Flight Services, has inaugurated a new $270 million cargo handling center at JFK Airport, the first in 25 years. This 350,000-square-foot facility consolidates four cargo zones, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce truck congestion, and support high-value goods sectors. It features an advanced truck dock management system and temperature-controlled spaces for pharmaceuticals and perishables. The project is part of a broader initiative to modernize JFK’s infrastructure and is expected to create 100 permanent jobs, prioritizing local hiring.
