Since the demise of Song and the enhanced European service as Delta grows NYC as a focus city and JFk as an International Hub. Delta has now started flying the Boeing 767-432ER's into Kennedy. I believe this now makes them the only operator of this type into JFK? If you haven’t seen the B764 yet at JFK keep yours eyes open and your cameras ready. I managed to get a couple of pictures while taxing to the American terminal on a flight last week. I uploaded one my picture's to MyAvaition.net of the B764 N184MH, I have given the link below.

the only other North American operator of 764s are CO so yep your right Delta is and will be the only operator of 764s to JFK. BTW JFK is not a hub for Delta. JFK falls well behind SLC in flights per day and SLC is Delta's smallest hub. JFK is a International focus city for Delta.

Delta started out doing JFK-MCO with the 767-400 and now does MCO, MAN, and DUB. They are the only airline to fly the type into JFK considering the only other airline that operates 767-400s is Continental. I haven't been down to JFK in a while but I hope to catch them next time I'm down spotting.

I think I might just have to take the 767 from Orlando up to NY now some time soon. I hear that they fly like pigs though.

According to Delta.com, JFK is a Delta hub. Yes, it's mostly an international hub, but a hub nonetheless.

Delta.com can call it what it wants but by industry standards it is not a hub. Delta doesn't have the domestic feed into JFK as it does in ATL, SLC, and CVG. JFK's international expansion is relying very heavily on the huge amount of O&D traffic found in the NY Metro area.
