Maybe someone can explain why they couldn’t at least deplane even if customs was closed? Just let them stretch out and get local law enforcement out to make sure no one leaves.

Jump to postI'm wondering how pissed off SAV and JAX are right now... Very I’ve lived in SAV 17 years and we’re under no illusion that TATL service is feasible- hell only recently did AA finally start non stops to Reagan. The entire SAV to Wilmington NC strip will benefit from this service IMO As for Jax, they...
Jump to postSurprised they picked CHS over, Detroit, Islamabad, CLT, RDU, STL, ALA, and other cities. It's a function of slot availability - it follows the trend of reduced short haul demand to predominantly business destinations on Wednesday/Thursday afternoons and Sundays to places like Frankfurt, Dusseldorf...
Jump to postWow that must be close to 100% o and d right? Hard to believe they can fill a 330 especially upfront. It wasn’t too long ago that a big star hub, MUC, was less than daily in winter.

What engines is UA using on their 320s?
The fact that American cannot make ORD-NRT work illustrates the lost opportunities that a stronger, tighter network integration with Japan Airlines, a oneworld alliance member, would help achieve. AA and JL are not at the level of what UA has with NH and that is the problem. But why is that given a...
Jump to postIs that typical for them to use a 763 on that route? Rare to see wide bodies on these stage lengths anymore.
Jump to post[threeid][/threeid] It's going to be a 787-8 not the 767 on the DFW-MUC route. God bless em if it works, with zero muc feed and little in dfw save a few small tx cities it seems like a stretch You obviously have never been to DFW or have no clue the scope of the hub. Little in DFW, that is just such...
Jump to postI'm skeptical on dfw muc the 767 can't do this route so they need to fill a 330 or 788. German point of sale is flying through Fra on lh Are you sure that AA's 763s can't do it? It's shorter - albeit more east/west - than ORD-EZE, which they operated for a while, and it's also shorter than several ...
Jump to postBottom line, LH and AA serve two very different markets on CLTMUC, and I dont think it's necessarily certain that LH will exit. Agree. When US was in *A, LH used CLT to route it's lowest fare connections between Europe and the U.S. Basically the flight was: German execs at the front, cheapest fares...
Jump to postId think FRA would be the only place they could get the feed perhaps in coordination with a lh downguage (since they're dumping the 744s anyway) they could make it work with a 788
Jump to postCLT - MUC is mainly there for BMW execs in Germany going to and from BMW's South Carolina plant. It's German point of sale customers in business class. Then in Coach on that route it's mainly people from Charlotte using the Munich hub to go to India and Europe. BMW will NOT put its passengers on AA...
Jump to postWow. I suspect AA wants to run LH out of CLT. But now only a seasonal 4x weekly AA on PHL-Germany, which only helps LH in PHL. I think you have it backwards. LH run AA out of PHL, their own hub. AA is just trying to hold on to MUC but just barely. The point of sale is overwhelmingly on the German s...

I don't see any airlines clamoring to serve an airport with a 6,000x100 ft. runway, no matter the population in the catchment area. That's a very dodgy runway size for any airliner in service in the US. It's quite acceptable for regional jets. For instance, the main runway at DCA is only 7,169 ft.,...

Jump to posti think using statue of liberty was tied to newark airport's name having liberty in it. for this whole "this is an O and D flight only" remember that there are dozens of secondary east coast destinations that now have one stop flight to SIN so there could be connecting traffic.
Jump to postRaise your hand if you thought ORD would ever lose its perch as #1 to ATL in the first place. Chicago much larger city, excellent location, two hubs (though it does split traffic with Midway). When it first happened I thought it was a temporary fluke, but boy was I wrong. Point is never say never. ...
