The phrase is fully compositional: a proper name ('Kennedy') plus the adjective 'international' and the noun 'airport' yields the meaning 'an airport named Kennedy that handles international flights.' This name+adjective+noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Kennedy International Airport was named after President John F. Kennedy. After his death in 1963 the city changed the old name Idlewild 'to honor' him, so the name now refers to the large New York airport that serves as a main gateway to the United States.
