The addition of DL has had an affect on the existing US routes, EWR in particular. Not sure as to what degree though as the likes of PHL from GLA also recorded negative growth.
The massive JFK growth definitely makes up for the poorer Chicago and Newark numbers. I wonder if there's any possibility of United using the 767 instead of the double daily 757 next summer.
