XNA-LGA coming back on DL this spring as of today's schedule update. It's been gone since very late 2022.
Jump to postI feel like the upgauging talk can become a slippery slope of generalization at times. Upgauging the 763 to 339, okay. But then, oh the 359 is even more efficient, so it goes from 763s to 359s or even a 35K all of a sudden. Another way to look at it is that DL is consolidating the smaller and short...

Jump to postNot a mainline bird, but OO seems to have taken delivery of a new E175 for DL today. Flew through XNA on its way up from SJU and South America before that. Left XNA for BOI.

All the initial S24 TATL changes have been loaded though the new ones are not bookable yet. Some notable changes are: JFK-GVA: 1x daily 764 (up from 763) That was supposed to be a 764 when it launched this year but was moved down to the 763. Given how far out we far, we'll see if the 764 actually h...
Jump to postXNA is up to it's prepandemic growth ways with double digit growth over March 2019. These numbers in spite of depressed business travel and leakage. Breeze should really consider PVD for the Northeast, and SFO to the coast. By the numbers: XNA had more than 80,700 tickets flying out this March, up ...
Jump to postI wouldn't say there isn't a plan, in fact there actually appears to be a plan. The only ones that are going to stay as-is are going to be the 763 fleet, with the 76Ks sticking around until end-of-decade but increasingly just going to be deployed to secondary Europe from JFK & ATL. 359 - delive...
Jump to postJFK-GVA has been bumped down to a 76K, at least in June. Just hit an itinerary I have early that month.

ATL-OGG is operating for most the year. I believe 5x/week. Looks like the equipment is a 76K at this point anyway.

Agreed. It will be interesting to see what frequency is used. Specifically, I will be curious if they are just a 1x daily RON CR9, or if it comes back at 2x daily like AZO/MBS/LAN. I still maintain that for those closer-in DTW routes to be palatable to the remaining business travelers, that multipl...

Jump to postNot really a surprise - they're slot squatting in NYC. A little of that, and a little of that's where the available block hours are on the airplanes. 9E 200's aren't long for this world, I'd be surprised to see them in DTW much beyond spring break. Yep....thats the word that is going around. 9E MSP...
Jump to postAA adding XNA-PHX starting in February I really think a big part of this is the Envoy maintenance base at XNA with Envoy opening a PHX crew base/hub operation early next year. This would be the only current MX base they fly to from PHX. The timing is suspect. They’ve known that’s happening for a lo...

Two things. I don’t see DL doing anything other than their current LAX-SYD route. Second, I think going forward DL is going to rely on the REX codeshare and their growing network for any other onward travel within Australia. There has been talk of a second SYD service, I could see MEL happening, Ma...
Jump to postDelta can't make major North American cities like YVR, CLE, IND, YUL, CMH and PIT work from SLC but somehow is going to add Seoul. I'll believe it when I see it. Delta has half the amount of gates than they did at the Old SLC right now… They get 22 more next year so I assume these all will come bac...
Jump to postNew E175 for DL*/OO stopped here in XNA today on its trip from Brazil up to BOI. N315SY.
Jump to postNew E175 for DL/OO, N312SY, stopped in XNA on its way up to BOI today. I assume that’ll enter service this month.
Jump to post[*]IAH-TXK was a waste of money. Should’ve gone to a hub in a different geography. A bit harsh. I tend to gravitate more toward "ill timed" as the forecast financial performance of the service proposal was way out of whack by the time the service was initiated. I suppose use of the grant ...

Jump to post- or XNA airport: 10 mi from the Walmart HQ, the 52nd largest corporate travel spender in the country, Walmart. Pre-covid, DL was not strong in XNA but if you still wanted to fly west on DL you could take the 2x daily flight through MSP, however that flight has been reduced down to 4x weekly. For X...
Jump to postWow, that is a late change. I assume they’ll just route everyone on LH. Wonder what the issue is. SK flies the route already and is in Star so I would think they could take on pax too. They can, but will they? Even though SK are in Star, they're not in the UA/LH/AC JV, and UA and SK aren't exactly ...

Jump to postI'll put my 2 cents in. There is a lot of back and forth in this thread but no speculation on what new routes will happen. Isn't that what this forum is all about? :lol: Once Phase 2 of the terminal is complete I expect some marginal growth fro DL at SLC. Mostly with upgages of aircraft and increas...

Jump to postI spent the first 18 years of my life in Little Rock and was fortunate to get to travel fairly regularly as a kid. I remember the banjo terminal well. Funny how several of the airlines have been in their same gates for over 25 years at this point. Is there really a need to bump up the terminal to a...
Jump to post4) My first and thus-far only trip to LIT showed me amazing facilities before security.

I doubt anything recent other than anecdotes. Historically there’s been a lot of talk about WN being the cause for this. Yet recently it has been said that the “WN effect” has diminished. So if that’s the case, wouldn’t the leakage? XNA itself said in the last few months that WN would basically be ...

Jump to postHere’s my top 5 in no specific order:
For Your Eyes Only
The Living Daylights
Moonraker
License To Kill
Goldeneye
Fairly tight range from 79-95.
What was the deal with The Living Daylights? There’s a version that was used for the movie and then one that sounds slightly different.
The metrics the WSJ is using include on-time arrivals, canceled flights, extreme delays, two-hour tarmac delays, mishandled baggage, involuntary bumping, and complaints. These measurements make no sense as there are no adjustments for the hub locations, fleet size and composition, stage length, wea...
Jump to postSo they plugged the door behind the wing on the 321neo? Interesting to hear what the cabin layout will be and if there will be any midcabin lavs. The layout is similar to -900ER and -800. There are aft lavatories and a mid lav between first class and Y. So will the 321N have a hard barrier behind f...
Jump to postIt looks like G4 is currently loading some new flights viewable on their route map. TYS-MSP/PHX showing up. I’m sure there are others but the only ones I have noticed so far. Was TUL-SAN previously announced? It's showing up as seasonal on their map and I'd not heard of that one before from G4. F9 ...
Jump to postAny word on how MX is doing at XNA? Also, G4 had their first PGD flight this past week. No hard numbers but XNA is the only remaining station with SAT service left, so I assume that bodes well. If the flight was performing that poorly I assume they would’ve yanked it too. Funny enough the equipment...

Quite sad that Fort Smith (FSM) hasn't come up yet in any discussion... I'm mildly surprised that UA hasn't done IAH, at least. It'll be another 20 years, seemingly before I-49 and -69 get done, and even then it'll be 6 hours. As mentioned earlier, XNA would require a not-insignificant backtrack. I...
