Delta Air Lines continues to use its Boeing 767 fleet for a significant number of long-haul and transcontinental flights from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), despite the model’s gradual phase-out in favor of newer aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350. According to ch-aviation, Delta operates 61 Boeing 767s: 40 are the 767-300ER variant, averaging nearly 30 years old, while the remaining 21 are larger-capacity 767-400ERs with an average age of about 25 years.
Data from Cirium shows that Delta scheduled a total of 10,764 Boeing 767 flights from JFK in 2025. The airline’s busiest route using this aircraft is between JFK and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), with a planned total of 2,978 flights offering over 666,000 seats throughout the year. Delta configures its 767-300ERs with four cabin classes and a total of 216 seats; the larger -400ERs seat up to 238 passengers.
Delta operates up to ten daily flights on the JFK-LAX corridor using both types of Boeing 767s. Other airlines such as JetBlue Airways, American Airlines, and Frontier Airlines also serve this route but use Airbus A321neo narrowbody aircraft instead. The next most-served domestic route by Delta’s Boeing 767s is between JFK and San Francisco International Airport (SFO), with a total of 1,585 flights in the year.
