The New York to Los Angeles flight route is one of the busiest in the United States. It connects two major cities, with airlines generating significant revenue daily. This route is crucial in airline networks, with some earning over half a million dollars each day.
New York is served by several airports, including New York JFK Airport, while Los Angeles has Los Angeles International Airport. Traditionally, three airlines have operated between JFK and LAX: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue. On May 1, 2025, Frontier Airlines will join this competition with a daily service, marking the entry of a fourth operator.
Recently, Delta Air Lines has emerged as the leading carrier on this route by offering the most flights and seats. "Delta maintains the largest number of flights and seats between JFK and LAX," as noted, with a fleet that includes the Airbus A330neo and Boeing 767. Most of Delta's flights are operated by the 767-300ER model, followed by the 767-400ER and the A330neo.
