Which Terminal is Royal Air Maroc at JFK Airport?

Key Takeaways

  • Royal Air Maroc (AT) departs from and arrives at Terminal 1 at JFK.
  • Terminal 1 is an international terminal shared with carriers such as Air France, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and Korean Air.
  • AirTrain JFK stops at Terminal 1 and links it to the other terminals, Jamaica Station and Howard Beach Station.

The JFK Airport website describes Terminal 1 as "a gateway of International Travel at JFK." It lists 26 airlines at the terminal. Royal Air Maroc is one of them, alongside:

  • Air France, Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines
  • Turkish Airlines, EgyptAir and Saudi Arabian Airlines
  • Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Air China, China Eastern and EVA Air
  • ITA Airways, LOT Polish Airlines, TAP Portugal and SAS

Because so many long-haul flights leave from the same building, check-in halls and security lines can get busy. Give yourself time, and check Royal Air Maroc's recommended arrival time for your flight before you leave.

JFK is also building a new, all-international Terminal 1 on the site of the old Terminals 1, 2 and 3. The Port Authority says the first gates are scheduled to open in 2026. Until your booking says otherwise, Royal Air Maroc's listed terminal is the current Terminal 1.

What is the fastest way to get to JFK Terminal 1 from Manhattan?

After you land at JFK, a BLADE vehicle drives you and other passengers to your departure terminal. If you prefer a private vehicle, BLADE also offers a Meet and Greet service.
