Port Authority bans ride-app, car-service pickups from 2 JFK terminals
Briefly

The Port Authority has announced a ban on ride-app and car-service pickups from JFK Airport's Terminals 5 and 7 to prevent congestion during the busy summer travel season and ongoing construction renovations. Travelers will have to take the AirTrain to Howard Beach to access their rideshare options, but drop-offs and taxi services remain unaffected. This shift aims to manage higher traveler volumes while facilitating the airport's $19 billion redevelopment, with customer service support available at the new pickup location.
