    SATA also flies to PVD (Providence, RI) I'm not 100 percent they are still doing this but it was a few times a week there.

    We used to get the Tarom A310 at JFK until they dropped the route about a year ago or so.

    Emirates still has a few cargo on non US routes - though at least one is used to transport horses, and with a lot of luck, that one can be seen in the US.

    TAP brings them into EWR as well as the A330s.

    I believe Delta was unhappy the A310s had to sometimes make a stop on the way back from Europe, or so I have been told...

    We get the occasional FDX A 310 here at DTW, along with the occasional MD-11.
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    LH, AF, KLM, TAP, PIA Air Jamaica, Tarom, Aeroflote, Air Afrique, Aerolineas Argentinas, Viasa, Sabena, all brought them into JFK at some point, The Delta 310's were ex- Pan -AM's , I'm sure there are others I can't think of but this should be most that came into JFK
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....

    Emirates used to fly the A310 in passinger service but they were soon replaced by the A330-200's . They have reacquired 3 which are now in service as freighters. They have been to the US on occasion . JFK , FLL and LAS are the cities I know for sure .

    The A310 was born out of need for longer range out of the existing A300 airframe to better compete with the 767 series, they shrunk it a-la A330-200 / 747SP for example
