I was looking at this shot by Senga of a Cathay A340-300 at JFK. The A340-300 is parked at Terminal 4 and the date reads April 20, 2005.
I thought that Cathay has been at Terminal 7 for a while, no?

Cathay is at Terminal 7 now--perhaps they were at Terminal 4 prior to the move, or they used a terminal which did not have its own Customs Inspection facility-ie. AA domestic or something.
I flew from terminal 7 three times in the past month, and saw all the Cathay signage.
When Cathay Pacific Airways inaugurated HKG to JFK B747-400 service (CX888/889) via YVR almost close to a decade ago - they originally gated at Terminal 3 until a few years back when they moved to now currently at Terminal 7.
After CX launched the nonstop flight (CX830/831) with the A340-600 about 2 years ago, they downgraded the direct flight from a B747-400 to an A340-300 which has now been reinstated back to a B747-400.
:shock: This shot of the A343 at Terminal 4 sure surprises me too and I need to speak with the photog on the details as to the reason why the plane was docked at T4 on that particular day when it was shot.... :roll:
My best guess is that T7 was busy (but at 2PM?) or something was going on that temporarily blocked access to a certain number of T7 gates.

I don't think so, the A343 is the via YVR (CX888/889) flight which arrives in the evening and departs at night while the A346 (CX830/831) flight arrives and departs in the afternoon.... :oQuote:

I'm guessing the photo was taken around 6:30 since the Air India flight in the backround arrives around that time. Another guess is that CX888/889 went tech the night before and like Will said Terminal 7 may have been full at 6:30 since that it one of it's busiest times.
