Just wondering how the aircraft routing is going to work on the days the ATL-NRT 777 flight doesn't operate. JFK-NRT 777 is daily, but ATL-NRT 777 is only 4 days a week. The routing is easy to see on the days the ATL-NRT flight operates (the plane from JFK makes the return flight to ATL, and the plane from ATL makes the flight to JFK), but where does the aircraft come from to make up the NRT-JFK flight when the ATL-NRT flight doesn't operate? As far as I know, there is no other 777 flying to NRT.

Correction:
NRT-ATL operates Sat, Sun, Tue, Thu ---- same days as ATL-NRT operates.
Sorry, I'm new and not sure how to edit the original post.

I would imagine that the aircraft will simply make the turns back and forth from JFK to NRT and be rotated out with the ATL aircraft for maintenance when necessary. But I would defer to the other experts on here for the exact answer.

But it doesn't arrive from JFK into NRT until 5:00 pm, how can it depart at 3:25 pm when there is no aircraft arriving from ATL?

I'm looking at the MAR 2009 schedule for DL. There are no flights between JFK and NRT in the timetable.

The last conference call talks about JFK NRT to operate with DL metal whee as ATL NRT operates with NW metal.

From an earlier thread I recall that the Delta 777-200 that will be upgraded to the JFK-MAD-JFK route will be the same aircraft flying the JFK-NRT-JFK cycle. Essentially the routing of the aircraft should look like JFK-NRT-JFK-MAD-JFK-NRT-JFK.

I can understand that part of it, but it still doesn't answer how the NRT-JFK can depart at 3:25 pm when there is not a 777 in NRT (on the days the flight doesn't operate inbound from ATL) until the JFK-NRT arrives at 5:00 pm. Makes me wonder if there will be additional 777 flying into NRT 3 days a week from somewhere else? Or maybe they just haven't updated the times yet, and the JFK flight will depart later on the days when there isn't an inbound from ATL.

Btw, which routes currently use DL 777 featuring the new business class?
ATL-BOM and I have been told on the days they don't have BOM flights they send the 77Ls to DXB. This summer almost every T7 station will see the 77L with lie-flats. (IIRC NRT is the only one that will not)

I guess the aircraft coming from JFK will stay overnight at NRT: arrive 5PM and leave 3PM next day. That one will rotate to MAD, so not a big loss. "NRT-JFK-MAD-JFK-NRT and stay" routine. Same way, 777 come from ATL will leave for ATL same day, after staying NRT around 5 hours. From ATL, there are many late departure and early arriving 777 routes, so it makes sense. In the meantime, DL can "rotate" NRT based and ATL based aircrafts efficiently.

Ok... You all ready for this... Based on the schedules, I've compiled the rotations of all 8 airplanes for a week.

It's a 767 during the sample month of July. Note in June, JFK-NRT is running, but MAD is still 767.

But end March the only destination with the lie-flat seats is BOM, correct?
