For Britain
B 0 A C's new airport terminal at New York is developing into a showcase not only for the airline but also for British industry.
The terminal at John F.
Kennedy Airport, opened 19 months ago, is the first and only one built by a non-US airline and has won several design awards.
Its facilities include its own health, immigration and customs agencies with the normal shopping facilities, hairdressing salon, restaur ants and cocktail lounges — including an English pub.
Many British firms were involved in building the ter minal and the list of British made goods involved ranges from computer equipment to public address systems and from tiles to TV sets screen ing flight information. Inside the terminal there are show cases in the shopping arcade and arrivals area and more showcases and display units in the main passenger con course. All in all they provide a permanent exhibition of British export goods.
