Continental #1 in NYC
Crain’s New York Business reported this week that, based on the total number of passengers flown, CO is the No. 1 airline in New York City, followed by American (AA), JetBlue and Delta (DL). For international traffic, CO topped AA by about a third, and DL’s international passenger volume finished a distant No. 3.

CO has been #1 in NY for quite some time. Last time I looked - about 5-6 years ago CO was #1 with 25% of NY flights, and US was #2 with 12%. Obviously, US is not what it used to be in NY.

If CO is #1 in New York, would that mean that AA is #1 in Jersey?

Maybe for Crain's. But officially for faring purposes NYC = JFK/LGA only. EWR is a separate entity. CO capitalizes on this, as EWR fares are often higher than NYC fares.

It always seems like CO is afraid to use the word Jersey

I think I saw a billboard that said DL was #1 in NY?
