The Municipal Art Society (MAS), the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JetBlue Airlines have reached a tentative agreement on a plan for Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal at JFK Airport that will largely save the internationally acclaimed landmark while allowing it to be adapted to the needs of a 21st century airport.
