almost daily since 1999

 

As I noted here a few years ago, the futuristic Eero Saarinen terminal at JFK Airport, former home of defunct TWA, will be refurbished as JetBlue builds a new terminal behind it. The structure’s concourses and departure lounges, however, were removed to make room for JetBlue. The Port Authority agreed to preserve one lounge. So one was sawed off and moved aside. It has sat at the airport for almost a year, awaiting its fate. But everyone with a say in the matter has now agreed that the money needed to restore the lounge and incorporate it into the new terminal would be better used in restoring the old one. So, JetBlue is free to demolish it. The NY Times also recently covered the careful dismantling of the gigantic stained glass window in the old American Airlines terminal.
