Air Canada will enhance the passenger experience at JFK by moving to the new Terminal 6 in 2026. As Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada will join Star Alliance partners like Lufthansa and SWISS at the cutting-edge terminal. This partnership is part of JFK’s $19 billion transformation to improve travel convenience and amenities.
At Terminal 6, Air Canada passengers will enjoy a smooth, digital-first experience. The terminal will allow quick access to gates from the TSA checkpoint. Inside, travelers will find various shopping, dining, and lounge options. Public art will decorate the terminal, while sustainability will be a key feature in its design and operations.
Currently, Air Canada Express-Jazz operates daily flights from Toronto and Montreal to JFK’s Terminal 7. Moving to Terminal 6 will streamline travel and improve connections with Air Canada’s extensive network. Passengers will benefit from easier access and greater comfort.
Terminal 6 is a major part of JFK’s transformation into a global hub. It will feature nine gates for widebody aircraft, ideal for long-haul flights. The terminal will include automated baggage systems and improved customs facilities to speed up travel. Sustainable design elements, such as solar panels and energy-efficient systems, will support environmental goals.
As Air Canada moves to Terminal 6, passengers can expect a premium experience with top-tier amenities. This change marks a major step in Air Canada’s expansion, enhancing its presence at one of the world’s busiest airports. Watch for more updates as Terminal 6 takes shape and redefines air travel.
