TWA Terminal TWA Flight Center or Trans World Flight Center, opened May 28, 1962 as a standalone terminal at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for Trans World Airlines. It was designed by Eero Saarinen. The design of the TWA Terminal began in early 1956, construction work in June 1959. The City of New York designated both the interiors and the exteriors of the Saarinen terminal a historic landmark in 1994 and in 2005 theNational Park Service listed the Trans World Flight Center on the National Register of Historic Places. TWA Terminal The two satellites, annex buildings which contained the gates, were demolished in 2006. The Saarinen terminal (or head house) is being renovated, partially encircled by and serving as a ceremonial entrance[5] to a new adjacent terminal completed in 2008. Together, the old and new buildings comprise JetBlue Airways' JFK operations and are known collectively as Terminal 5 or simply T5. While noted architect Robert A.M. Stern called the evocative Saarinen-designed TWA Flight Center "Grand Central of the jet age",the pragmatic new encircling terminal has been called "hyper-efficient"and a "monument to human throughput"
