John F. Kennedy International Airport’s (JFK) air traffic control tower reopened at approximately 11:30 a.m. local time on Friday following a thorough cleaning after a technician assigned to the New York facility tested positive for coronavirus. The tower was closed early Friday morning and controllers relocated to an alternate site on the airport while the cleaning was underway. JFK remained open throughout the process.
