Kennedy, situé dans le quartier du Queens à New York, est l'un des aéroports les plus fréquentés et les plus importants en tant que porte d'entrée internationale des États-Unis. Nommé d'après le 35e président, JFK a ouvert en 1948 sous le nom d'aéroport international de New York et s'est depuis développé en un hub majeur accueillant plus de 60 millions de passagers par an. L'aéroport dispose de six terminaux, le terminal 1 et le nouveau Terminal One faisant actuellement l'objet d'un projet de modernisation de 9,5 milliards de dollars. JFK sert de plateforme principale pour Delta Air Lines et JetBlue Airways, et accueille les opérations de pratiquement toutes les grandes compagnies aériennes internationales. L'aéroport est bien relié à Manhattan via l'AirTrain JFK jusqu'à la station Jamaica, où les passagers peuvent correspondre avec le Long Island Rail Road ou le métro. JFK est particulièrement connu pour son vaste réseau de routes transatlantiques et transpacifiques, ce qui en fait la première porte d'entrée entre l'Amérique du Nord, l'Europe et l'Asie.
