Delta Air Lines plans to introduce a new "premium" airport lounge at New York's JFK International Airport in June, featuring a full-service brasserie, market, and wellness areas.

The close corporate relationship between Delta and Amex has been lucrative, with Delta reportedly receiving $6.8 billion from Amex in 2023.
