The 78-10 will complement the 339s with the new cabins rather nicely in that market.
So, Delta is never going to do JFK to ICN, HND, DEL, BOM, RUH, PVG, PEK, HKG, DXB, SIN, or something equivalent with heavy payload requirements? The expansion of Delta into Asia will not just be LAX+SEA, but JFK as well. An eventual 350 base is all but certain at some point. As to 35K ops, I’m sure it’ll transit through JFK on a few routes, but the 359 will be much more prevalent.
