Template:Vital article

John F. Kennedy International Airport was nominated as a Engineering and technology good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (July 6, 2013). There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

Kennedy Steve was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 29 January 2021 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Houston Bush

Changed the shorthand name "Houston-Intercontinental" to "Houston-Bush" in the listing of destinations, because that Houston airport's official name was changed several years ago to George Bush Intercontinental Airport" and the shorter "Houston-Bush" is the most common shorthand name used now.

--- Depends on your politics. Some people still call it "Washington National" and "Houston Intercontinental". Stoneriver2 (talk) 14:06, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Hatnote way too long

We must trim this beast down! The body text and infobox don't even appear on the first screen on smaller monitors. It's ridiculous. We don't need to call out Laguardia and Newark specifically, we can point the reader to Aviation in the New York metropolitan area. And the more obscure stuff like a Bolivian airport that hasn't had the name in decades (and never really used it, to the point where it isn't even mentioned in that article's lead) does not need to be in the hatnote. oknazevad (talk) 00:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Photographs of Idlewild (from LOC in public domain)

The Library of Congress has a number of public domain collections that might be useful illustrating the history of the airport. In particular, the NY World-Telegram had photos that it took at the airport that (unlike UPI photos) actually would have been donated into the public domain. The Korb Collection also has architecture photos. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=%20Airport%20Idlewild KevinCuddeback (talk) 22:51, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

New York–JFK vs. New York–Kennedy

When looking at the "Airlines and destinations" table in all airport articles, cities with multiple airports are typically written as City–Airport Name (e.g., Paris–Charles de Gaulle, Milan–Malpensa, Chicago–O'Hare). This makes sense. What I do not see is the three-letter airport code. If Paris is Paris–Charles de Gaulle and not Paris–CDG, why isn't this airport New York–Kennedy in the airline table? Flights are also listed as "New York–Kennedy" when the three-letter code is not used (e.g., "Los Angeles, CA, to New York–Kennedy, NY"). Thoughts? --Precision123 (talk) 02:36, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Because "JFK" isn't just the three-letter code, but the common short name for the airport and for the man it's named after. People use the term in daily use. oknazevad (talk) 10:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
