"We are thrilled to re-open one of our most popular locations which offers a retreat for travelers seeking a more relaxing environment in one of the busiest airports in the world," said XpresSpa Group CEO Scott Milford. "As travelers return to airports, XpresSpa is dedicated to providing exceptional wellness experiences for people on-the-go. We thank our partners at JFK for their ongoing support and look forward to building on our success domestically and abroad as we continue to relaunch and debut new spas internationally.”
Ed Midgley, vice president of customer experience and commercial at JFKIAT, the operator of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, added, "The safety and wellness of travelers passing through Terminal 4 are of the utmost importance to us. Our partnership with XpresSpa further defines our commitment to adding the best brands to our terminal’s lineup and boosting traveler experience."
