The United States ranks third globally in the number of domestic widebody flights, following China and Japan. The country's top ten airport pairs account for nearly half of its total domestic widebody operations. According to OAG data, New York JFK to Los Angeles is the most-served route.
In August, the US will have an average of 162 daily two-way domestic widebody flights across more than 65 routes, including those involving its territories. Transcontinental flights, connections between Hawaii and the mainland, and hub-to-hub links dominate these routes.
New York JFK-Los Angeles leads with nearly one in nine of the nation's widebody flights. "Notice that American features only once against three times for Delta, four times for Hawaiian, and six times for United," highlights a notable trend in airline participation on these routes.
