Jetblue's bid got accepted. Looks like they are the winner here alongside the current T1 operator. Not surprised that AA got nothing out of this with their current lack of focus in NYC. Delta will probably have all of T4 now with a couple of partners like VS and AM.
The new south terminal is going to look pretty amazing with 22 wide body gates. I'm going to enjoy flying out of there. And new North terminal (T5 to 7) is going to add 12 wide body gates or (19 narrow body gates) on top of the 29 they have in T5.

Will be interesting to see what happens to slot restriction.
here is the link about fixing runway and adding "high-speed" taxiway, which might ease slot restriction when completed.

The 10,000-foot-long runway, called runway 13L and 13R since they run east and west on the airport’s north side, handles nearly half of JFK’s arriving planes and is set to receive upgrades that will make it more durable and increase its lifespan. It will shutter in April 2019 and is expected to reopen in late 2019.
As for the new taxiway, it is anticipated to save passengers roughly 1,000 hours annually in delays and “taxiing time,” saving airlines and passengers a projected $9 million.
