REUTERS/Shannon StapletonWASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted final environmental approval for construction of a new $4.2 billion terminal at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, the state said on Thursday. New York state Governor Kathy Hochul said construction will begin early next year on a 1.2 million-square foot (111,480-square-meter), 10-gate terminal at JFK. A $1 trillion infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden in 2021 includes $15 billion for airport project grants. The FAA is expected to soon issue a similar environmental approval to a massive $8.5 billion project at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport that includes a new Terminal 2. Delta's glittering 1.3 million-square foot, $4 billion Terminal C began flights this summer.

United Airlines passengers spotted a snake in business class after the plane landed in Newark, per reports. It was unclear how the snake ended up on the United flight. The reptile was identified as a garter snake, port authorities told Reuters. United told Reuters and other publications that passengers alerted cabin crew to the snake and airport officials in Newark helped with the situation. An AirAsia flight was diverted in February after passengers discovered a snake in an overhead light fixture on the plane.
☆ Garter snake causes stir aboard United Airlines jet in New Jersey

Oct 18 (Reuters) - The unexpected appearance of a live snake on a plane caused some turbulence among business-class passengers aboard a United Airlines jet at the end of a flight from Florida to New Jersey. The reptile stowaway, identified as a harmless garter snake, turned up on United Airlines Flight 2038 from Tampa shortly after landing Monday afternoon at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. There were no injuries, no impact to airport operations, and the plane later departed Newark, she said. No mention was made by any of the parties involved as to how the snake might have gotten aboard a commercial airline flight. Monday's incident was not the first real-life instance of a serpentine creature hitching a ride aboard a commercial jet.
☆ Passengers at San Francisco airport are being told to bring their own food due to restaurant workers striking

Roughly 1,000 fast food workers at San Francisco International Airport are striking, saying they are experiencing stagnant wages and chronic understaffing. Most fast food workers at the airport make $17.05 an hour, which has remained flat for three years, the union said. The SFO Airport Restaurant Employer Council, which manages the 84 restaurants for the airport, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Airport food and drinks have grown more expensive, which could lead to further disparity in menu prices compared to wages, as in the case of the San Francisco workers. The SFO strike is open-ended, meaning there is no planned end date.
