    I hope not. I love the 310 when it comes over my house and I would also think they would be hitting thweir peak arounbd June and July load wise.

    Wouldn't surprise me...

    The airline has a relatively low frequency on the route which competes with a daily Delta flight and 2xdaily Iberia and Continental flights.

    Even though it only came in 1-2x a week, it should help slightly with congestion at T1. Now if only Olympic, Air China, China Eastern, Saudi Arabian, Turkish and MaxJet move to T4 things can get a a bit less congested there and help the T1 tower controller make his evening less hectic :P

    HAHAHA!

    Didn't Air Comet just start not long ago?

    I never thought they were so fly-by-night.

    Actually the JFK Station Manager for Air Comet was trying to find a way for 15 empty ULDs to make it to MAD....So it looks like they are DONE.
