Hmm. I would think TAM, LAN and Avianca are well known for being at JFK.

You can't even book that route on their website, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Great article about elusive airlines into JFK. On each visit, I always see a few. Yesterday, I saw XL and an Italian airliner from Sicily, AEA. With all my visits, I still never saw Cayman. Part of the fun of spotting is seeing these elusive airlines. I recall Corse 747s one summer. Sadly, Thai and Air Tahiti had scheduled services to JFK but those were discontinued. With the Rio Olympics on the horizon, we may see new services to/from Rio.

An article in the latest issue of Airways Magazine says that Norwegian Airlines is serving JFK with A-330's, and switching to 787's in Sept.

On the Port Authority's website it says CSA still flies to JFK. I thought that service ended around four years ago?
Also it says Meridiana; is that who Air Italy is flying for?

Either an A330 or A340, 787 coming soon, we hope.

Yea, CSA long gone. Meridiana is sending subsidiary Air Italy right now.

What about Kuwait Airways, Saudia, Egypt Air, South Africian, Qantas, There are many with the one flight per day or less into JFK what is the cut off to be considered lesser known?

While those might not be popular at JFK, where they fly is right in their na,e, so it is much less interesting to discuss.
