No one besides BA cares if they just spent millions to remodel the terminal. BA made that decision knowing their lease is only good through 2022 with a limited three year extension option if PANYNJ agrees.

When 2022 or 2025 comes and PANYNJ wants a new terminal in that area the money BA put in now to renovate won’t matter. Where BA ultimately decides to go is up in the air if this is the path the Port Authority chooses.
Sure, but “hey AA has open space, so BA should come over RIGHT NOW” isn’t going to happen. BA will want to amortize their cost at least over the life of their lease.
