Hotellplaner på JFK - TWA terminal

New York-based airline would partner with developer to renovate jet age structure at JFK

The former Trans World Airlines terminal at New York's Kennedy Airport could see new life as a hotel under a proposed plan. 

JetBlue Airways Corp. is angling to get into the hotel business, joining the growing ranks of developers and investors looking for lodging opportunities inside major U.S. airports.

The low-cost airline and its partner, New York-based hotel developer MCR Development LLC, are in advanced negotiations with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for the rights to turn the iconic Trans World Airlines terminal at Kennedy Airport into a modern hotel, according to people familiar with the matter.
