Delta Air Lines has unveiled a new virtual tour (above) of its soon-to-be expanded terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport, slated for completion in 2013. The $1.2 billion project will add 491,000 square feet to the existing Terminal 4 structure at the airport — already one of the largest air terminals in North America, covering 1.5 million square feet and 165 acres. Delta currently occupies JFK’s Terminals 2 and 3, but the aging No. 3 will be phased out and replaced once Terminal 4 is finished. “This is a game-changing project for our customers and the entire regional aviation system,” Chris Ward, executive director of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, said in a statement. — Sarabeth Sanders [more]

Delta’s Edward Bastian and JFK’s Terminal 4Delta Air Lines is close to announcing the renovation of its outdated terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Wall Street Journal reported. The airline has been in talks for months with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey about funding the move, which is expected to include demolishing the former Pan Am Worldport — an icon at JFK, famous for its saucer-shaped roof — to make way for new facilities. According to Delta President Edward Bastian, an announcement
is expected within 60 days. “It is the worst facility that we operate,” he said of Delta’s two JFK terminals, which date back to the early 1960s. Among the options under discussion is the expansion of Terminal 4 — a 1,500,000-square-foot international terminal serving nearly 40 airlines — which opened in 2001 and sits next to the terminal that’s expected to be demolished.
