Re: Spirit Airlines News and Discussion Thread - 2022

Frontier is also launching FLL-ROC, which is likely why Spirit avoided this duplication. (Though F9 does also operate ROC-MCO.)

Re: Frontier and Spirit to Merge!

The implications for South Florida will be interesting. It's the one place where they have a lot of overlap. Will they consolidate their international flying out of one of the airports, or continue to split between MIA/FLL? You get the sense NK went to MIA to compete with Frontier, which in turn cau...

Re: Confirmed: New United international routes 10/14

AMM is a nice add. It's nice to see UA look towards the Middle East again. Recall they once had a relatively robust network, flying IAD-KWI-BAH and IAD-DXB-DOH. It would be interesting to see if they pursue other opportunities in the region in the future. I do wonder however how much launching IAD-...

Re: JetBlue earnings release 4/23/19

When will Cuba be rationalized to just HAV? Surely the other cities B6 serves cannot be profitable, especially with the further tightening of travel restrictions. Very sad, Cuba is a great place to visit. They need (and want) our money but I don't see how any airline will be making money flying the...

However, STX seems to be perf...

Re: Southwest Airlines Network Thread 2018

FLL-PHL/ISP/BUF/ALB/PVD/BDL are all gone over the summer.

Good news for B6, and F9 which just launched FLL-ISP.

Re: Spirit adds JAX-FLL/BWI EFF 2/14/19

I think JAX-FLL is largely to use a free aircraft early in the am/late in the pm to feed FLL connections. If it injects profitable $$$ into the Latin America and Caribbean network, it will stay.

Re: JetBlue Network Thread 2018

While B6 is doing better, it still seems WN is doing quite well on FLL-DCA.

Re: JetBlue Network Thread 2018

Plus, FLL-PHX basically replaces FLL-LGB, and I'm willing to bet PHX will perform better than LGB. Much better use of the aircraft. Now that you mentioned it, I agree SRQ is safe. B6 is all about BOS these days and DL just entered BOS-SRQ on a limited basis. They are not going to want to give DL any...

Re: JetBlue Network Thread 2018

Seems like FLL was home to some of their best and worst performing routes.

Re: NK Major Expansion at MCO

While this certainly deemphasizes FLL, I don't see this changing much at FLL for NK. They would not have recently launched FLL-CAP/GYE/STX if they were planning on shifting the bulk of their Caribbean and Latin American flying up to MCO. My guess is they are performing well in MCO, see an opportunit...

Re: How is Cuba doing? (US carriers)

JetBlue is charging a good amount for the non-HAV flights. Even with loads in the mid 50's I can't imagine that the flights are performing poorly given the short stage length and the high fares.
