I do wonder though, is JFK slot restricted or gate restricted? In other words will the new gates be worth much if the runways/airspace is already saturated? I honestly don't know.
Jfk is slot restricted. The slot control is rumored to be lifted in the next year or two, though, and gate space will become the limfac.
