Shame if that's the case, especially since they just terminated EWR-AMS. Obviously, they have a critical mass in terms of operations at LGA/JFK, but it's not as if the New York metro is exactly short on traffic demand to/from EWR, either.

AMS had been gone for a few years. CDG being the only widebody flight may be logistically difficult. I once suffered a six hour delay due to MX as DL had to fly in a replacement from JFK. There were no other option and DL didn't interline with UA, at least not for C class. A MX in JFK would likely be solved in 1-2 hours by locating a replacement.

. Was EWR-CDG suspended then restarted?

With Primera Air & Norwegian offering extremely low TATL fares from EWR, I wouldn't be surprised to see EWR-CDG go seasonal. This October, EWR-ORY/CDG will be operated by United, Norwegian, Primera, La Compagnie, and Level.

I did a Google Flights search and found the direct Newark-Paris flight in Delta One during the summer peak travel period for as low as $2,672.
Google Flights calendar mode only gave me a non-stop between EWR and CDG on Delta for a few days in October and November. Really random days.

That's because it appears you searched for a OW...it's likely booking into full J just like the Y fare is booking into B

With EWR<->AMS out, EWR<->CDG is now the lone INTL flight for Delta out of EWR.
