Originally constructed at a cost of $36 million, the six-block long structure consists of a four-story central section, two three-story wings and four concourses leading to 38 aircraft gate positions.

East end airport roadways were reconfigured and expanded to handle the increased traffic at that end of the airport where the 12-gate US Airways Terminal opened on September 12, 1992. The $250 million, 300,000- square-foot terminal connects to US Airways' Shuttle Terminal and adjoins its lobby and check-in areas.

Built by Delta Air Lines at the east end of the airport, the Delta Terminal opened in June 1983. The terminal has 10 aircraft gate positions. The cost of the terminal was approximately $96 million. Delta's redevelopment of their food and retail concessions is underway. Northwest Airlines and Business Express are also located in this terminal.
Marine Air Terminal (MAT) :
Once called the Overseas Terminal, this was the original airport terminal building, built near the bay to serve the flying boats that dominated international air travel in the '30s and '40s. In 1995 the Marine Air Terminal was designated an historical landmark. It is two- storied and domed, with an interior rotunda. It is used by commuter airlines, air taxis, private aircraft, Signature Flight Support - a fixed-base operator, and a private weather service. On September 18, 1980, the James Brooks mural entitled "Flight," which was originally completed in 1942, was rededicated by the Port Authority. The mural, is the largest created under the WPA Art Program (the WPA Program ended in the 1940's) and helped the MAT earn its designation as a New York City historic landmark.
On October 1, 1986, Pan Am opened its shuttle operation in its addition to the Marine Air Terminal. The terminal section houses six aircraft gates from which Delta Air Lines now operates hourly shuttle service to Boston and Washington.
