Here's a few more defunct JFK airlines within the last 5 years or so, none lasted too long:

Universal Guyana
Air Santo Domingo
Aeromar

I'm very surprised no NY airports get Hawaiian Air, and that it has been a whole decade already without an airline from Nigeria. Egypt Air aside (not sure if they're considered "African"), the only airline from Africa that's left in NY is South African.

Air Dominicana (although their livery is hardly anything to get excited about) was supposed to start flights to Miami also earlier this month or last month I think, seems they pushed that date to Oct. They're now a CAT I country according to the FAA, so any Dominican airline shouldn't have too many problems now, unlike a few years ago.

Arik Air is supposedly planning to start a NY route soon, but we'll see about that.
