As to 35K ops, I’m sure it’ll transit through JFK on a few routes, but the 359 will be much more prevalent.
with the 35K of course, it is a completely different beast compared to the 359, especially the brand new ones DL are getting. JFK-ICN could be done with a 359 right now, LAX-SIN could be done with a 359 right now, SQ with 22 less seats, takeoff around 273 tonnes with full pax and cargo on LAX-SIN.
