NEW YORK — JetBlue revealed plans to add seven new restaurants in its home terminal – T5 at New York’s JFK International Airport. This will mark the first major update to the airline’s T5 concession lineup since moving into the brand-new terminal in 2008.
As New York’s Hometown Airline, JetBlue features niche stores and restaurants that offer a taste of the big apple. Like JetBlue, the new eateries, all got their start in New York City. Construction will take place this fall and later this year JetBlue will welcome Melt Shop, Otto’s Tacos, Ovenly and Shake Shack, as well as the T5 Chef’s Kitchen which will include to-go offerings from KorillaBBQ, The Little Beet and Lil’ Sweet Chick, the restaurant’s first airport outpost.
“We take our position as New York’s Hometown Airline seriously,” said Mariya Stoyanova, director product development, JetBlue. “Rather than the typical chains, we offer customers traveling through T5 a real and delicious taste of New York from places that real New Yorkers frequent. Besides wanting to showcase all that our birthplace has to offer, we remember being a New York start-up and are always looking to give back to the community that’s supported us from the very beginning. As we add new T5 restaurants, we’re using our platform to support locally-grown and up-and-coming businesses the same way the greater New York community did for us.”
JetBlue designed T5 from scratch with every detail of its customers’ experience in mind. The airline’s state-of-the-art home is considered one of the best airline terminals in the world, offering an amazing ground experience to complement JetBlue’s award-winning onboard experience. In order to provide the most convenient airport experience, the check-in area offers intuitive self-service check-in kiosks, with JetBlue crewmembers standing by to help if needed. Once past security, customers can surf the web with free Wi-Fi, enjoy a delicious meal at more than 30 restaurants and food outlets, shop at more than 20 retail shops, listen to a playlist curated for and by customers or even get a spa treatment.
The new T5 restaurants will include:
“These seven new restaurants will help bring the best of New York right to Terminal 5 and are another wonderful example of how the Port Authority and JetBlue are committed to providing a world-class experience for customers with a vibrant local sensibility,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.
In addition to terminal mainstays – 5ivesteak, Artichoke Pizza, Deep Blue Sushi, Piquillo, and several other concessions that represent the wide range of flavors of New York’s culinary scene, the newest tastes of T5 will provide visitors and residents alike with a sampling of the best of the Big Apple.
