First-ever Innovative Wheelchairs Launch at JFK Airport’s Terminal 4

Back to Newsroom

John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 4 announced it is the first airport terminal in the nation to offer Jetweels wheelchairs – non-metallic, lightweight and ergonomic seat- equipped wheelchairs – to improve the travel experience for passengers who need wheelchair assistance. Jetweels, now available to passengers, launched through a partnership between the Terminal 4 Airlines Consortium (TFAC) – a group made up of Terminal 4 airline stakeholders, government agencies and other partners – and PAX Assist – the company that provides assistance to passengers in need of wheelchair service at T4.
