Aeroflot to go double daily on JFK

Skyteam member, Aeroflot will increase its existing 11x weekly service into JFK from next summer with a scheduled increase to 14 weekly flights from its hub in Moscow Sheremetyevo.

The carrier operates a mix of B767 and A330 equipment on the route. Its Skyteam partner Delta Air Lines operates a daily service with B767 equipment.

IATA BSP data shows that over 150,000 pax flew the route between April 09-10, and despite the exisitng 18x weekly non-stop flights, there has been passenger leakage via Kiev onto Aeosvit's 5x weeklyservice into JFK.
