The man, Abdel Nur, is believed to be at large on the island.
Three other suspects are in custody, accused of conspiring to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines serving the airport, one of the world's busiest.
The suspects include a former cargo worker and an ex-MP for the South American nation of Guyana.
The plot - which is said not to have gone past the planning stages - involved blowing up the airport's fuel tanks and pipeline, US justice department officials said.
One of the arrests was made in New York and the other two took place in Trinidad.
Guyanese citizen Abdul Kadir, a former member of Guyana's parliament, and Kareem Ibrahim, from Trinidad, are in custody in Trinidad and Tobago.
The authorities said both men were associates of Jamaat al Muslimeen, a Muslim organisation behind a coup attempt in Trinidad in 1990.
The former JFK cargo worker was arrested in Brooklyn late on Friday and named as Russell Defreitas, originally from Guyana.
Mr Defreitas was arraigned in New York City on Saturday afternoon, but did not enter a plea.
