Where are they getting the frames for this expansion?? They have accelerated the A339 deliveries. 2020 will see 7 delivered versus the 4 planned. 2021 will see 11 versus the 9 planned. The A339 order book has also increased from 35 to 37 frames through 2024. That is good to hear regarding the accel...
Jump to postThat article is deeply flawed; it doesn’t adequately present AA’s side of the story. In writing it, she’s trying to invoke our sympathies for her father, and anger at American Airlines, but it doesn’t work. Yes, I ended it feeling sorry for Mr Rothstein, but not for his loss of his AAirpass and for...
Jump to postUnited operating revenue for Q2 2019 was 11.4 billion, which DL still beat by 1.1 billion which is huge. There is no getting around it DL made a billion dollars more than UA.

The only purpose of a JV is to legalize collusion. Of course they reduce competition. Why is this even surprising? That’s their only purpose. I also fail to see any consumer benefit an alliance can’t offer. Airlines promise new services, but after a quick flurry of justifying new flights, the goal ...

Jump to postI am more concerned what this might do to VS LGW operations actually. How so? VS has had long enough to start TPA and could have made a go of LGW/MAN on their own terms.

If this is anything like Delta's other terminal investments, it will make most of its money back in the form of "rent credits." In other words, they won't be paying the PANYNJ for a long while. That's what I'm thinking as well. The article mentions DL will sign I believe a 36 year lease o...

Jump to postDelta has ordered 25 of these, but has only 7 747's to replace. I guess Delta has lots of new Asian routes planned. They cancelled the 787s that NW had ordered.
