AirTrain JFK

AirTrain JFK is an 8.1-mile (13 km) people mover system in New York City that connects John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to the city's subway and commuter trains, and airport parking lots. It is operated by Bombardier Transportation under contract to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which also operates the airport and AirTrain Newark.

Routes and Stations:

AirTrain connects the airport terminals and parking areas with Long Island Rail Road and New York City Subway lines at Jamaica and Howard Beach stations in Queens. The system consists of three overlapping routes: The Howard Beach route ends at the Howard Beach-JFK subway station served by the IND Rockaway Line (A). It stops at Lefferts Boulevard for shuttle buses to long term parking lots A and B, & the airport employee parking lot as well as the B15 bus to Brooklyn. The Jamaica Station route ends at Jamaica Station on the Long Island Rail Road, adjacent to the Sutphin Boulevard–Archer Avenue-JFK subway station served by the Archer Avenue Line (E J Z). Jamaica Station and the two-level subway stations are connected by a central elevator bank, allowing passengers to transfer conveniently between them.Before separating for their final destinations, both routes stop at Federal Circle for car rental companies and shuttle buses to hotels and the airport's air cargo area. Both routes make a counterclockwise loop through the airport and stop at each terminal. The All Terminals loop is an airport terminal circulator, which serves the six terminal stations (Terminal 1, Terminals 2 / 3, Terminal 4, Terminals 5 / 6, Terminal 7, and Terminals 8 / 9), but operates in the opposite direction, making a clockwise loop.
