JetBlue Airways (B6, New York JFK) and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) have received preliminary approval to redevelop Terminal C at Boston airport, a project valued at more than USD1 billion that will modernise the airline’s primary Boston facility over an expected four-to five-year construction period. JetBlue will partner with Vantage Airport Group, the company behind the redevelopment of New York Newark, to deliver the project. Under the proposed financing structure, Vantage will fund the construction and JetBlue will lease the completed terminal from Massport over an estimated 30-35-year period. Terminal C is mostly used by JetBlue, but also by Aer Lingus, Cape Air, Etihad Airways, Royal Air Maroc, and TAP Air Portugal. JetBlue said the project remains in its early planning stages and will be subject to further regulatory reviews and approvals.
