JFKIAT Invites Potential Concessionaire Partners to Respond to RFQ

Back to Newsroom

JFK International Air Terminal (JFKIAT), the operator New York John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 4, invites potential partners to respond to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process as we prepare to bring ten food & beverage outlets to market.

Through a competitive solicitation process, we are looking to partner with a world-class food & beverage concessionaire to deliver a fresh, local take on the tastes of New York for its passengers and strengthen T4’s distinctive, New York-centric Sense of Place.

This partner will join a world-class line-up of nearly 100 retail, food & beverage and service concepts at T4, who share JFKIAT’s commitment to a best-in-class customer experience, innovation, and sustainability.

The Request for Qualifications will be the first of a two-stage process for application, and one partner will ultimately be selected.

Once qualifications are complete, the proposal stage will be open to a short-list of respondents. They should then demonstrate that they have the vision, innovation, and capability to deliver Terminal 4 customers a flexible and evolutionary food & beverage experience.

Stage one submissions are due on 8 December. The targeted contract award date is Q1 2024.

T4 is a work of art. Really! You’ll find our private collection of world-class paintings, sculptures, and mobiles on display throughout the terminal.

Be Travel-Ready: Plan for a Stress-Free Trip to T4!

Due to construction at JFK, the roadways leading to Terminal 4 may be congested. We highly recommend that our guests allow themselves some extra time to reach the terminal and, whenever possible, use public transportation within the subway system through Howard Beach or LIRR at Jamaica, then use AirTrain JFK.

From there, your ride will be 10 or 15 minutes to the terminal.

Taxis and shared rides from T4 will operate from the Remote Ride App & Car Services Lot, accessible via a free shuttle bus in front of the Arrivals Hall running every 1-2 minutes. Please avoid going with anyone you have not pre-arranged a ride with.
