| | John F. Kennedy International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | JFK is best known as the city's international hub, but flights to other airports in the United States (especially on the West Coast) also use JFK. |
 | | Construction of the airport began in 1942, and at that time, they thought they would need only 1,000 acres (4 km²) to build it: however, as aviation grew, so did Idlewild, and since then, 4,000 acres (16 km²) have been added. |
 | | On December 24, 1963, the airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport to honor the memory of the late President John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated on November 22 of that year. |
