WestJet is now showing 6x(!) flights to ATL this summer.. will be 3 tails on the ground at the same time in the morning. Curious where they will park as typically I think they primarily use D. Imagine moving them all to E? ATL 845 YVR 1108 YVR 2225 ATL 605 ATL 900 YYC 1139 YYC 2350 ATL 608 ATL 905 ...

Oakland/Northern California International Airport. Just my 2 cents lol

It's too bad other carriers didn't take them. You would think WN or B6 would jump on the opportunity. ATL needs more competition, not less. Apparently DL is giving up 3 gates in D south for them so it’s not a net addition for DL, just a swap. WN wouldn’t be interested in them- they are entirely con...
Jump to postWord on the street is that Delta will be taking over AA former gates on D concourse. D21, D23, and & D25. Those gates are currently closed off with a wall up and construction happening behind it.
Jump to postLook at what’s happening here in ATL. Second thunderstorm for today.
Jump to postLast week around 10:30pm, I saw AA airbus gate fitting some of United old gates, as United is occupying the new 5 gates, plus 1 old gate. So it looks like AA will have 7 gates on T, and United will have 6 gates on T.

Yet another schedule reduction on the way likely this weekend. Not demand based whatsoever. Crew shortages are the culprit. Schedule too ambitious for the crew hours available starting in July, I believe it is. Gotta love it, or not, if you as a customer are caught up in it every single time they'v...
Jump to postI was flying out of IAD tonight, I didn't realize (or more likely) had forgotten that DL was flying IAD-SEA on the A221. Didn't realize DL was fly the A220 on anything of that stage length. I thought this route was typically either B738 or A319 in the past. Actually it's an A220-300, but to your po...
Jump to postNot officially confirm yet, but it appears the flight is operating on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. With the return being Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Jump to postIf Delta doesn't resume operations on Concourse C within the next 90 days then the airport should take them away and give them to other airlines who desperately need ATL gates. It is clear that Delta has more than enough gates to meet their needs. Not happening. Delta is schedule to reopen concours...
Jump to postYou obviously have no idea how strong of a hub ATL is. Comparing it to AA at MIA is a joke. Strong, yes. Invincible, no. ATL is hardly impervious to the effects of LCC competition. In fact, it's a ripe hunting ground for them because ATL customers have had limited competition. If you scoff at this ...
Jump to postGlad Delta is unblocking middle seats to reaccommodate people. They didn't do that over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Of course, the usual suspects will complain on Twitter, but I think it's worth it. Glad that they promised people that the middle seat would be open when they spent their money to buy...
Jump to postYesterday when I arrived at work. I saw two Aer Lingus A330s parked at the South Cargo ramp. A Air Canada 787 had just landed and waited until a parking spot was available due to South Cargo ramp being full around 6pm. That was cool to see all those different tails.
Jump to postIt’s confirm. They sent out a email to every ACS and Cargo agents.
Jump to postI was told 120 got the same “back to work” email as well. Delta is currently calling ACS agents here in Atlanta if they are willing to return to work. Right now it’s an option. I have a F/A friend who I talked to yesterday. She is on leave and is schedule to return in September. She got a call to s...
Jump to postThey announced today that the 60% cap will remain in effect through Sept 30 although they could put it earlier if necessary. They said they would add more flights and/or upgauge once they see more and more flights hitting the 60% threshold. Also it’s 60% for main cabin and 50% for first class. So k...
Jump to postThe question now is how much longer does DL maintain the 60% passenger cap. There are already flights that are reaching that load factor regularly, particularly on the hub-to-hub routes. This leaves two options, add more frequencies, or lift the 60% cap. Sooner or later something has to give. They ...
Jump to postIs this being applied to all departments at ATL? Or are certain departments like 118 excluded? I know forsure for us 125 department but I can’t speak for 120 or 118. So many ACS above wing agents took the 3 to 6 months leave. July will be a struggle for us if many don’t come back. I was told 120 go...
Jump to postNot quite, no more leaves or extensions will be given for ACS in Atlanta (assuming other workgroups are not affected but not sure) but all previously approved leaves will continue. Not everyone is coming back, but they're going to get what anecdotally seems to be a fair bunch of people back like me...
Jump to postIn an email today, employees in ATL were told that starting July 1st all personal leaves will be terminated. No further leave requests or extensions will be granted. Daily flights will be over 400 per day in July as well. That is 40% of the same time last year. Question is, ATL will now be staffed ...

For people who don’t understand. No airline in the world will recover quickly. Delta is accepting the new reality. When it’s all said and done. Every airline in the world will be different. Business and leisure travel will be effected. For example. Here in the states, If people aren’t buying airline...

This thread should be locked. Nowhere did Bastian say anything of the sort. But appears that off topic only applies to some people. Fake news. People took what he said, flipped his words, and made their own assumption that Delta will order the max. You have to remember. Delta is a deal maker. Would...

Does anyone know’s how many aircraft are assigned to each origins/destination? I would assume that LAS & SFB has the most aircraft with more flights.
Jump to postWill the A319NEOs replace the A319CEOs? I also read in another article that NK will launch a new interior this year. There was no mention of retiring 319's on the Q3 call. However, we are purchasing them off lease and that would give us greater flexibility to retire or sell them. But we're also sti...
Jump to postBut through the map you can see that LAS is well suited for these connecting opportunities. Plus, LAS also allows 1 stop service to AMS, ICN, LHR, MAN, and other int'l destinations, from places like LGB. Again, I don't believe a hub will happen by any stretch, but a connecting complex has certainly...

[photoid][/photoid] While I can see why people in MEM would like nonstop service to LAX and SFO, the airlines know the numbers of passengers this would attract, and so far they are satisfied with just offering MEM travelers a connection through DFW, DEN, or IAH. UA in particular is very gate constra...
Jump to postDelta will transfer our full operation of U.S.-Tokyo services from Narita to Haneda, the city's closest and most convenient airport. With this move, we will become the largest U.S. carrier serving Haneda, with seven daily flights between Haneda and Seattle, Detroit, Atlanta, Honolulu, Minneapolis, ...
Jump to postIs something going on in CHS? Both of the evening flights for LGA-CHS and JFK-CHS have been canceled. I was also surprised to see that two of the JFK-CHS flights are mainline. Usually NYC doesn't get mainline to smaller markets. Here in Atlanta, we are experiencing up to 3-6 hours delay flights goi...
Jump to postAirside bus from E to A ain't gonna happen. Would be madness. Bus would drive over the entire airport taxiways and block airplanes from reaching B and C gates. Negative! Buses or any vehicles have to stop for any aircraft that is moving (aircrafts always have the right away). This isn’t your local ...
Jump to postI agree 100% there is so much untapped potential out of Atlanta that is being over looked and the A220 is the perfect plane to fill that gap. I would like to add PSC and LMT to that list. This keeps getting better. Are any of you familiar with these airports? BFI, IFP, and LMT have NO service from ...
Jump to postThis thread is awesome. Love all the work that everyone is contributing and also thanks to FSDan for doing this each year. Much of us looks forwards to these threads. Now its time to go see what UA and AA have instored for S19.
Jump to postYou can still see the orange on D and E concourse. I dont know when they will upgrade those concourses. But so much construction going on at the airport. Its hard to keep up.
Jump to postNice! Love seeing new airport development in Africa. Thanks for sharing.

Thats 35 flights between both cities, with G4 add...
Jump to postI’m pretty sure that UA 777’s and 757’s will park on E concourse as Delta can run some of their Intl. narrow body aircrafts on A and T concourse.

I thought they didn't have E175s at ATL. Or am I mistaken? We dont have any at the moment. This might be the first E170/175 flights in Atl under the Delta brand. We’ve had E170/175 lines marking at the gates for years. I was wondering when they will finally show up. I flew ATL-CMH twice on E-jets i...

In the Chinese standard, any passenger plane over 20 years old is irregular. The B-2051 (longest lived 777 served in CZ) served 22 years; B-2570 (one of the last few 767s to quit service in Shanghai Airlines, the last airline to quit 767 service in China) was 19 years old at retirement; One of the ...
