John F. Kennedy International airport is quickly becoming the most pet friendly airport in the world. The new forty eight million dollar Ark terminal, set to open next summer, has been ten years in the making. The Ark is expected to make animal transitioning much more efficient. As pets and livestock have suffered extreme weather conditions on the tarmac for years, the new terminal caters to animal welfare and will include a twenty-four hour a day, fully staffed, veterinary hospital.
