AIR INDIA SELECTS NEW JFK TERMINAL 6 FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS
JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to build and operate John F. Kennedy International Airport’s new world-class Terminal 6 (JFK T6), and Air India, India’s leading global airline, today announced that the airline has chosen T6 for its operations beginning in 2028. The move aligns Air India with other Star Alliance member carriers in the new terminal and marks another major airline commitment to T6, which has now been selected by 16 leading international carriers at JFK. Other airlines that have announced movements to T6 include Star Alliance members Air Canada, All Nippon Airways (ANA), Austrian Airlines, Avianca, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa, SWISS, and TAP Air Portugal — in addition to Aer Lingus, Cathay Pacific, Condor, JetBlue, Kuwait Airways, Icelandair, and Norse Atlantic. Air India’s existing codeshare or interline partnerships with many of these carriers will offer customers seamless, same-terminal connections to onward destinations across the Americas.

"Bastardo" is proof that airline dining may be entering a new era: less caviar tradition, more comfort food with a boarding pass.
Cute, But Hard Pass: SWISS Serving “Bastardo” Hot Dog In First Class
Typically travelers would scoff at the concept of an airline serving hot dogs in international first class, where tickets can cost $10K+. However, Lufthansa Group carrier SWISS is proudly serving hot dogs in first class, down to the point that the airline is making a big deal about it on social media. Is this a brilliant way to highlight a local creation, or something cheap that shouldn’t be in first class?
