JFKIAT – operator of T4 at JFK Airport – has introduced a Capital One Lounge in partnership with Capital One and TAV Operation Services. The newest addition to T4’s portfolio is Capital One’s largest airport lounge to date.

JFKIAT – the operator of Terminal 4 at JFK Airport and a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – has introduced a Capital One Lounge to JFK T4 in partnership with Capital One and TAV Operation Services. The newest addition to T4’s extensive portfolio is Capital One’s largest airport lounge to date.

The Capital One Lounge – JFK T4’s third credit card membership lounge and Capital One’s flagship lounge location – joins the premium lounge collection which already includes the Delta One Lounge, Delta Sky Club, the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways, Emirates Lounge, the Air India Maharaja Lounge, and Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse. As T4 undergoes a $1.5 billion transformation, JFKIAT has continued to curate dining, shopping, and lounge experiences to elevate its passenger experience.

“Designed to meet the needs of modern travellers, the opening of the Capital One Lounge echoes our deep commitment to elevating offerings for our airline partners’ premium passengers and enhancing Terminal 4’s overall experience,” said Roel Huinink, Chief Executive Officer, JFKIAT. “From the locally-inspired food and beverage options to the beautifully curated design that captures the essence of New York City, every detail was carefully evaluated to provide guests with convenience, comfort, and a true sense of place. We’re proud to partner with Capital One and TAV Operation Services to offer this exceptional new space that elevates hospitality at T4 and delivers the seamless, world-class travel experience our passengers deserve.”

Located on Level 3 of T4’s Retail Hall near the B Gates, the Capital One Lounge immerses guests in the flavours and culture of New York City through iconic local partners, including Ess-a-Bagel, Murray’s Cheese, Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters, TALEA Beer Co., Death & Co., and more.

The lounge also balances form and function with destination-inspired design elements, where travellers can discover a blend of architectural sophistication and artistic expression. From silkscreens and sculptures to works on wood and canvas, more than 40 original artworks from New York-based artists are on display.

“We are excited to partner with Capital One and JFKIAT in bringing the Capital One Lounge to life – a space that reflects our shared vision of delivering a seamless, world-class travel experience,” said Aude Ferrand, TAV Airports CCO and TAV Operation Services CEO. “Designed with the travellers’ needs and expectations in mind, this lounge offers an experience defined by its modern, airy atmosphere, comprehensive amenities, and attentive service. We are particularly happy to extend our partnership with Capital One to JFK. Our operational experience across 21 countries – from Chile to Japan and France – combined with our brand portfolio, including Primeclass and Extime is key in tailoring premium, end-to-end travel hospitality and loyalty solutions.”

The lounge’s debut is one of the latest additions to T4’s commercial program as the terminal continues its transformation, following the launch of JFKIAT’s North Star initiative, aimed at reimagining and enhancing every facet of the terminal experience while elevating the human experience at T4. The initiative includes redefining its commercial offerings, enhancing and aligning its hospitality culture across the entire terminal, elevating the terminal ambiance with elements of design, launching new elements of the terminal’s acclaimed Arts & Culture program, and more.
