Delta JFK-DXB?

Delta ATL-DXB?

Rumor: 777 ATL-DXB announcement before October is over.

Grat circle shows it 7600 NM (JFK-IST is 7800NM)
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Sorry - title shows JFK-DXB (Emirates already does this, so my guess is ATL)

We are trying to expand places where LCCs do not go, so we can charge higher fares. At the same time, we are moving planes around on the domestic side. Crazy times. Expect hiring in the Spring. MD88 NYC FO would likely be the newhire position.


Bye Bye--General Lee

You might want to recheck that, KWI-EWR is only 6300 nm and that is farther than IST-JFK. DXB is another 500nm or so past KWI.

JFK to OKBK (Kuwait) is 6317. I plugged in in prior to pushback last week. IST is 2.5 closer.

But IST or DXB are so much more fun !
