Jump to postDelta is very revenue focused. While they could continue to operate LHR-LAX with full flights, they obviously feel they can operate that aircraft on ATL-LHR and generate higher revenue with it there. It's about maximizing revenue with the aircraft they have available. Not the prestige of operating a...
Jump to postWell JetBlue isn't exactly printing money with all that innovation going on. No doubt this is true. But how much money is delta leaving on the table? Particularly on west europe from USA routes? The only reason people book with Delta is because of a skymiles loyalty. But I've seen many work associa...
Jump to postMy guess is Delta will add JFK. Hopefully an early daytime departure allowing connections, I know many people who will go for a connection rather than a red eye. They've had added P2P to LAS and continue to expand there with a 4x ATL flight during a peak time but the return to ATL has limited connec...
Jump to postDid AA discontinue its morning flights from RIC-LGA? I fly the route on DL frequently and it’s almost always packed in the morning, so I was surprised to see on FlightAware that AA only appears to have two frequencies. Does anyone know the story? I don’t know the back story, but can confirm that th...
Jump to postI remember the days of Comair running a CRJ CVG-TUL-LAS. Whether we liked the CRJ1/2 or not, this has been a pretty long run for a Delta affiliate aircraft. I recall this flight as well. Does anyone know why such a flight was operated? There were no other CRJ flights on DL out of LAS. WN used to fl...
Jump to postI saw that Avelo is pulling their CHO flights. It would have been nice to see some competition in a small station like that but, I understand that the loads barely would regularly hit 65% so understandable, wish they could have waited it out. AA in CHO is down to almost all E145 operations leaving o...
Jump to postId venture into adding GRR too seasonally. No legacy service and a daily 717 during the winter would probably work. GRR seems too small for daily mainline service. Maybe an RJ would work but the staffing issue’s probably prevent that from happening. I’d say BNA, BDL, IND, or LAS could all be possib...
Jump to postI found this very interesting. With the discontinuation of the BOS flights, these spots in HPN will be used for both MCO & PBI turns. HPN has been recognized as a high value market, and while historically MCO is not considered a high value market, that has begun to change over the last 10 years...
Jump to postDL has added MCO-HPN into the schedule. 1x daily on the 717 effective Nov 10th. That’s now the 3rd p2p add for DL from MCO this fall after DCA, AUS, and now HPN. Also interesting all these new flights are midday departures from MCO which is typically the lightest time of the day for Airside 4. Perh...

Hey Guys, I read that back in the late 90's/early 00's UA had planned to renovate Terminal 6 and the TWA Flight Center into it's own dedicated terminal. With 15-20 gates planned could UA have made JFK into a hub operation? Below is what T5/6 would have looked like if UA took part in the JFK termina...
Jump to postI'm very curious to know how the loads are doing on the CHO-MCO route. I feel like the 738 is a little big of an aircraft for the route. I know a lot of traffic bleeds to DC and RIC, but hoping they can make it work.
Jump to postKeep me honest here, but last I heard the Airbus 330neo program had only sold a few hundred units, if that's the case, I'm guessing they will offer Delta a killer deal the more they buy. I would not be surprised to see both the 338 & 339 variants in that order being the 767s are coming up for re...
Jump to postAnyone know how the absence bookings for Avelo in CHO are going?
Who is ground handling them there, Unifi? Skywest? I can't imagine they are staying their own operation for a few flights a week.
Any chance of the 757 coming back to MCI-ATL? It’s just under 700 miles one way, and has seen the 739 as of late. The A321 has operated it as well, post 2020. Pre-Covid, we saw 4-5 757s daily here at MCI. -Rowen Network would rather add an additional frequency rather than upgauge to a 752. At least...

I’d like to echo a couple of comments posted earlier about AA service to ROA. Virginia does in fact extend beyond the Henrico County line westward. Would love to see service from DFW to ROA.

Jump to postDoes anyone have access to data on the traffic between MCO and Australia/NZ? I know it's one hell of a trek but I've always wondered if an airline like Air NZ may consider an AKL-MCO non-stop someday. Unless their is a business need - on both ends - to fill the front end, the weight penalty is too ...
Jump to postIB to MCO? Maybe seasonal has some of a chance, thrice weekly, early May to late September plus mid December to mid January. TK to MCO? That route has potential, perhaps only thrice weekly to start, red-eyes IST-MCO, mid-morning MCO-IST; best IST times to allow the most European, Middle East, Asian...

Jump to postTaking a look at the schedule in April, Looks like SMF-LAX will upgrade from E175 aircraft to 2x frequencies going to A221, along with some of the SLC flights up-gauging to larger equipment as well. All but one of the x4 SMF-SEA legs will go to A221 as well. Nice to see some upgrades, just need more...
Jump to postI wish they would just bite the bullet and put IFE on the 717's and commit to keeping them 10 more years. I guess free wifi mitigates the need for IFE somewhat, but continuing to operate the 717 without IFE is not conforming to the corporate "standard." I remember what prevented DL from a...

Jump to postInteresting. I think FL's longest was MCO-MSP
Being that the 717s don't have IFE (yet) I can see why they keep them on shorter routes.
I have read that the 333's will gradually go as leases expire. I forsee VS launching JED, as Jeddah will be central to Saudi's 2030 vision and ambitions. If memory serves 2 of the 12 are recently leased. All of the VS 330 fleet is only about 10-12 years old, so they have plenty of life left in them...

Also, Delta dropped CHO down to 2x CRJ 1x CR9 on ATL-CHO but kept 3x CR9 on ATL-LGA which makes no sense to me
