If you’re touching down at JFK anytime soon, here’s what you need to know to keep your airport arrival as smooth as your takeoff.
Due to ongoing renovations and updated airport regulations, all arriving passengers at Terminals 4, 5, and 7 must now take a shuttle to reach the designated car service pickup locations. Additionally, inside terminal pickups are no longer permitted at Terminals 5 & 7.
Please review the revised procedures below to ensure a smooth and timely pickup experience:
Terminal 4. Limited Curbside Access
- Curbside pickup is permitted only between 2:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
- Outside of these hours, passengers must board an airport-operated shuttle bus to the remote car service lot.

Terminals 5 & 7. AirTrain Required
- Passengers arriving at Terminal 5 or 7 must take the AirTrain to Howard Beach Station to meet their chauffeur.

Additional Recommendations

Why This Change Matters
JFK is experiencing record travel volumes and a $19B redevelopment program. To reduce curb congestion, improve pedestrian safety, and prevent delays, for-hire vehicle pickups for T5 and T7 have been moved to the Howard Beach AirTrain Station. These measures may evolve as construction progresses; we’ll keep you updated.
- Reduce roadway congestion at terminal curbs
- Improve pedestrian safety
- Prevent delays during pickup coordination
- Keep terminal access functional as construction intensifies
These changes are expected to remain in place and may evolve as construction progresses. We’re monitoring the situation closely and will continue to keep you updated with any new developments.
Exceptions (Mobility & Accessibility)
