Correctly identifying the airport as JFK is important because travelers may confuse it with LaGuardia Airport, which is also in New York City. JFK is one of the busiest airports in the world and is located in the borough of Queens. It was originally named Idlewild Airport before being renamed in 1963 after President John F. Kennedy.
JFK International Airport consists of six terminals that are spread out over more than 2,000 acres of land. The airport sees over 50 million passengers each year and offers nonstop service to destinations all over the globe. Some of the airlines that fly into JFK include Delta, American, British Airways, Emirates, and Virgin Atlantic.
