Quoting kaitak744 (Reply 1): BA does own the physical terminal. So, if they theoretically do not renew the lease on the land, does the port authority have to buy the terminal from BA? |
Quoting jrfspa320 (Reply 2): Is there enough space in T8 for BA/CX/QF/IB and potentially EI? |
Quoting jfk777 (Reply 6): Doubtful that T8 could handle another 20 747 and 777 daily from all the airlines involved at T7 without expansion. |
Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 4): Well, if they announced a move tomorrow, it would take at least 3 years to open the new BA wing that would have to be built at T8. So I would guess they will be staying at T7 past 2015. |
Quoting GolfBravoRomeo (Reply 8): Yes. How large is the Concorde Room nowadays (post Concorde)? |
Quoting jrfspa320 (Reply 2): I wonder if T7 actually generates revenue for BA, with the other airlines using the terminal? |
Quoting 1337Delta764 (Thread starter): This year, BA's lease at JFK Terminal 7 is coming up for renewal. BA has been considering a move to Terminal 8 for a while to co-locate with AA, however, a final decision hasn't been made yet as far as I know. |
Quoting jfk777 (Reply 9): Concorde Room is for their own First Class passengers |
Quoting 1337Delta764 (Reply 3): EI probably wants to stay in T5, since they benefit from their codeshare with B6. Moving to T8 would be a major inconvenience for B6 passengers who are connecting to EI. |
Quoting BOAC1966 (Reply 15): Surely BA has plans for A380 ops. Where do these fit in Terminal considerations? |
Quoting northwestEWR (Reply 16): |
Quoting varsity (Reply 18): Quoting northwestEWR (Reply 16): No bridge, and the JFK Expressway runs between them. |
Quoting TWA772LR (Reply 19): Could UA expand more in terminal 8 and offer more flights to other hubs? |
Quoting northwestEWR (Reply 16): I haven't been over to the new T8 or in T7 in a LONG time. Is there currently a bridge between T7 and T8? If not, could they build an airside connection (not bus) to T8 for the best of both worlds? |
Quoting TWA772LR (Reply 19): Could UA expand more in terminal 8 and offer more flights to other hubs |
