Air India will move its daily JFK-Delhi and JFK-Mumbai operations from Terminal 4 to Terminal 6 by 2028, adding easier Star Alliance connections and a 9,100-square-foot Maharaja Lounge at the new terminal.

The JFK Terminal 6 and Maharaja Lounge plan follows recent Air India signals extending its Tel Aviv–Delhi flight suspension through September, pairing U.S. airport investment with continued route disruption.
