Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has secured the technology and innovation contract for new terminal one at New York’s John F Kennedy (JFK) International Airport, the company said in an exchange filing on Tuesday.
Under the partnership, will develop and manage the terminal’s digital infrastructure, including passenger processing systems, artificial intelligence-driven IT operations, enterprise applications and cybersecurity services.
The new terminal one is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s ₹1.8 lakh crore ($19-billion) redevelopment of JFK Airport. The project includes two new terminals, upgrades to two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
“TCS will help lay the digital foundation for the New Terminal One, enhancing terminal wide decision-making for efficient airline operations and a seamless guest experience,” the exchange filing read.

The technology system, developed with TCS’ Cognix and ignio platforms, will provide real-time data on passenger processing, baggage handling and terminal security. The tech giant said this will pave the way for lower operating costs for airlines and a more efficient travel experience for their passengers.
“With TCS as our technology partner, we look forward to the New Terminal One earning its place among the world’s best, delivering a transformational guest experience for our partner airlines and their customers, while setting new standards in airport operations and innovation,” said Jennifer Aument, chief executive officer of The New Terminal One.
The partnership strengthens TCS’ technology portfolio as airports worldwide increasingly adopt AI and automation to improve passenger experience, streamline terminal operations and enhance efficiency.
“Airports are evolving into dynamic consumer ecosystems where operations, hospitality, retail and personalisation work together in real time. Our partnership with New Terminal One is about helping build that future,” said Amit Bajaj, president, North America, TCS.
The senior executive of TCS also said that artificial intelligence would be used to improve passenger movement and support the terminal’s digital systems.
The contract will be handled by TCS’ travel, transport and hospitality business, which provides technology services to airlines, airports, hotels and logistics companies. TCS generated consolidated revenues of over $30 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
