[photoid][/photoid] I have heard the same. Given the first routes will be point-to-point with little to no connecting traffic, it’s not surprising YOW isn’t first. Not to mention PD’s hometown. I would fully expect the first YOW routes to start in spring or summer 2023 once a few more E95s are on p...

Jump to postOne needs strong nerves to buy into a failing giant, IMO, especially one that shows no signs of understanding why it is where it is. You pretty much then are just left with the hope that someone somehow in-house can turn things around or a merger/buyout can release synergies. Basically Boeing is no...

Jump to postThe perception of prop vs jet makes it hard for HA to go for either the ATR or the Q400. Are there any competitors to Hawaiian Airlines on intra-island services? What types do they fly?

Jump to postThe remaining 717 operators seem to have a few options open to them, other than Hawaiian which has such a uniquely extreme operation that it’s difficult to make educated predictions about what they might do as none of the options seem like a good fit. It means that “What will Hawaiian replace the 7...

Jump to postHow many ATR's do you see in the on demand cargo market, hint, none. That's categorically wrong. There are actually a lot, but they do a great job of flying below the radar. The CRJ (and the others I posted), excel at non-containerized freight that is loaded and strapped into place. So does the ATR...
