The new retail concourse, slated to open in early 2001, will be as long as four Manhattan city blocks, bringing "urban scenery" right into the halls of the facility. With at least 40 shops of the kind more likely to be found on Fifth Avenue than in an airport, Terminal 4 will be a destination in itself. "Terminal 4 will transform airport retail as we know it," said Helen Deknatel, commercial director for JFK IAT, "offering unparalleled advantages to the retailers we select as tenants in the facility." Deknatel was instrumental in creating the retail concourse at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, which receives consistently high marks from passengers and visitors. For top-of-the-line retailers, Terminal 4 represents a business opportunity like no other, said Deknatel. First and foremost is the sheer volume of potential customers: the number is expected to grow to 3 million over the next decade. This traffic represents a truly captive audience: All passengers will pass through the retail concourse on the way to departure gates. All shops will be located in a non-secure area, so that passengers as well as visitors will have access. Terminal 4's efficient check-in system will ensure that passengers have more time available to shop, dine and explore. "From the design guidelines for store facades to the customer service training courses offered to salespeople sales·peo·ple pl.n. Persons who are employed to sell merchandise in a store or in a designated territory. , JFK IAT will be the retailer's business partner in making the Terminal 4 retail concourse a total success," said Deknatel.
