Lastly Hawaii. Hawaii will definitely see additional destinations added. My current guesses are. HNL-ONT,BUR,ABQ,DEN,BLI and PDX. OGG-DEN LIH-DEN KOA-DEN ITO-LAS spring/summer seasonal. As always Enjoy or Don’t Flyguy ABQ, BLI, PDX..... Who will do the overwater checks? Where will the ETOPS parts c...
Jump to postI think in the short term Avelo should cut some of its losses at BUR and double down on HVN or at least move one 737-800 aircraft out East.

Well because I LUV speculation and rumors. My HNL ramp friend sent me this newest list of “rumored” flight times for Hawaii DEN MAX7 service. He swears the service coming in the Summer of 2022.

Jump to postI'm not sure "pushed them out" is correct. WN is busy expanding other markets fighting against bigger fish (and probably making more $$). UA doesn't even operate PDX-LAX and keep in mind that WN and UA have huge CA market recognition and customer base. I think it's more about WN (and UA) ...
Jump to postI think F9 will easily shift the Newark capacity to SWF and ISP. Both Airports have significant cost savings Vs EWR. ISP just received 4 gates returned to the Port from WN. This will allow F9 to further increase flight activity. SWF is ripe for the picking and unlike ISP it has International availab...
Jump to postThey really don't need a high CDN:US exchange rate. The savings in taxes/customs fees that apply to air crossings but not land crossings to U.S. destinations can mean significant passenger savings (or, more fare going to carriers). One-way BLI-LAS on a $59 ticket on WN $17.41 in taxes $41.47 to car...
Jump to postI remain only guardedly optimistic about WN's sustained success at BLI, having watched the expansion/contraction cycle at BLI for the last couple of decades. BLI has and will probably continue to be sensitive to the USD/CAD exchange rate. We saw a big expansion in the early 2010s (when the currenci...
