Random JFK Updates

[PhilDernerJr]

Just a few things that I learned.

First, Gate A7 is no longer the only T4 gate that will be able to handle the A380. Ground markings have been made at gate B20 to allow an A380 to be parked at an angle to the terminal instead of perpendicular. The new jetbridge should be installed soon I understand.

Also, Ryan International has been doing suberservies for Air Jamaica, so if you see some a lot of their aircraft this summer, that's why they're here. I saw a 757 of theirs last night that had a US Airways odl colros nose.

I also saw a United E170 here. Is that a new service?

Did you happen to catch the reg on the E170, Phil?

I'm thinking perhaps it was operating a Shuttle America flight.
