I’m surprised AA is still flying ORH-JFK even after the B6/NEA breakup. The feed at JFK is bad for onward connection flow on just AA/OW metal. Wouldn’t it make more sense to move that flight back to PHL like it use to be pre-NEA? Both AA and DL offer one daily flight to please Massport. The NEA all...

Oh yes, swoop into that highly lucrative ACY market.

Funny thing is, they'd prefer to avoid Atlantic City, too. Maybe it's Spirit they would ra...

Jump to postSeems like every route is seasonal with Avelo. Sad. It’s not sad, it’s smart. They take calculated risks instead of the silly dartboard approach Breeze uses. It’s why Avelo makes money while Breeze does not. They should focus on HVN and BUR until they physically cannot. It’s how an airline in today...
Jump to postI’m shocked WN doesn’t fly DAL-BOS to cater their Dallas-based customers. I’ve had to travel to BOS a couple of times recently and economy tickets on AA/DL were 500+. There’s no way WN would struggle filling two daily flights. The biggest problem I see is that Dallas-Boston is pretty crowded right ...

Smart move. Nobody needs to know. I like avelo way better than breeze. Operate in silence, don’t overpromise or let competitors know your plans
Even with the 737-800 short field option, a takeoff from HVN's 5600' strip bound for HOU on a hot Summer day or with contaminated runway could be exciting to watch for spotters.

Jump to postWe'll see, but if jetBlue has no interest in adding seats at ORH, why upgauge both MCO and FLL to 320's and add RSW? Agreed on AA and DL. Wrong destinations, wrong times, no connections. With the right destinations, you get 87% load factors. With the wrong destinations, you get 49%. The market is t...

Of Course, It goes without saying that load factor doesn't equal yield but there are some things to be gleaned here.

Really…thought they wouldn’t touch MHT with Breeze having a PVD base.
BDL to New Bern is definitely a head scratcher. Sure there are some people from the I-91 corridor who have moved down to that area in recent years but I highly doubt its enough to support a route like this. PVD would probably make more sense with pulling people from BOS and or people visiting BOS o...
Jump to postIt's been confirmed that Spirit is going to exit MHT with the last flight to MCO on May 7th and the seasonal MYR service being canceled this summer. My guess is they are leaving MHT to focus on BOS more. Kinda sad considering I flew the MYR service 5 times in 3 months when it was daily. Hopefully i...
Jump to postSY announced a sporadic 2x weekly MSP-MHT service. Interestingly some weeks are only 1x. Dates loaded so far are August 22nd through Dec 2nd.

Jump to postThere is no way DL allows them to serve MHT without a response. DL will add a service and pick-up some connections to the west coast. MRY I am not so sure about.

Although I also thought about RDU as a possible location for a new UA hub, until it was pointed out a lack of gates. Then I had to wonder the benefits of RDU over IAD. No expert on hub operations, but the distance between IAD and RDU makes me wonder the impact on IAD. IAD relies on transfer passeng...
Jump to postATL, VPS confirmed. They are bookable on their site. One wonders if DL will choose to respond with a CRJ to HVN. That is, if the infrastructure can support it. Could DL be bothered operating expensive to operate CRJs to HVN to compete with Avelo tariff to ATL and other XP cities? Do"t think so.

Jump to postI actually thought of the 319's as a (long overdue) replacement for the F100's. American retired the F100 (74 frames) in 2002.
