Air India will move JFK operations from Terminal 4 to Terminal 6 in 2028 and open its first North American flagship Maharaja Lounge. The move supports Star Alliance connections and forms part of Tata-owned Air India’s customer-experience and global-network transformation.

Why this matters

The JFK expansion follows Air India's Bhopal-Srinagar cancellation penalty and reports that Singapore Airlines is weighing further funding amid Air India losses.

Store-opening remains steady, with 1,372 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
