What will happen with the $20 million planning study?
John F. Kennedy International Airport
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which runs the three major international airports in the New York and New Jersey Metropolitan Area, approved in May 2008 a $20 million planning study to improve Terminals 2 & 3, where Delta Airlines runs the bulk of flights.
from the press release:
My conclusion, from reading the very minimal amounts of information on the web about this project, is that the redesign and refurbishment is not meant to facilitate a greater sense of comfort for the passengers using the terminals. It may help to facilitate the flow of the passengers, however.
In short, this project may be more about logistics than about amenities. After all, the latest and greatest of news from New York and New Jersey Port Authority about its lists of services and improvements includes the recent installation of power poles, those places where you can power up your mobile phones, laptops, cameras, in LaGuardia . Previously, they had only been installed at Newark International and JFK.

from the press release:
The Port Authority has spearheaded a public-private redevelopment program at JFK that began in the early 1990s and has delivered more than $9 billion in improvements, including new passenger terminals and parking garages; more efficient roadway, runway and taxiway systems; AirTrain JFK; state-of-the-art cargo facilities; an award-winning concessions and retail program; upgraded utilities and much more.
Terminals 2 and 3 were opened in 1962 and 1960, respectively, and handled domestic and international operations for Pan American World Airways. When that airline ceased operations in December 1991, Delta assumed its operations in the two terminals.
My conclusion, from reading the very minimal amounts of information on the web about this project, is that the redesign and refurbishment is not meant to facilitate a greater sense of comfort for the passengers using the terminals. It may help to facilitate the flow of the passengers, however.
