NEW YORK CITY—State officials announced today that British Airways will join American Airlines in 2020 in a refurbished and expanded Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens.

The Terminal 8 enhancements are part of an agreement between the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and American Airlines over the next three years in preparation for British Airways moving from its current location in Terminal 7, state officials stated. Terminal 7 will be replaced as part of JetBlue Airways' plan to build a new terminal on the airport's north side.
