LA is dropping MIA-MDE from Jun 30. This was one of 3 routes that were launched after the JV with DL was approved. Having not flown even for one year, this was the only new route launched from MIA. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/240326-lajul24mdemia Additionally, the B787 is gone from MIA-BOG as we...
Jump to postB6 should say goodbye to LAX and move operations solely to ONT and BUR ... 3 roundtrips to JFK, 3 roundtrips daily to BOS from each airport, seize 100% of that market for themselves. https://www.flyontario.com/flights/nonstop?airline=225 That is just not going to happen and why would they? The LAX ...
Jump to postTahiti is a part of France just like Hawaii is an American state. I don’t think of the French government as some third world bureaucracy. Analogizing to a US state isn't appropriate - a more appropriate comparison is Puerto Rico or Guam (although even then I think there are major differences). Fren...
Jump to postMIA-EZE is overwhelmingly EZE point of sale, its MIA's largest international O&D market at a whopping over 700 PDEW, and the Argentina POS will be easier to sell AR to. JFK-EZE isnt even 1/3 the size of MIA-EZE and still has 3 daily flights. Seems better to add more capacity to MIA. According t...
Jump to postI wonder how Fort Lauderdale toTallahassee is doing. I have been hearing more rumors of rap cuts. It would not surprise me if Jetblue pulled out of Miami and went back to focusing at Fort Lauderdale. MIA too important not to serve. JetBlue is not going to be the sole big domestic airline not flying...
Jump to postLooks like B6 is cutting MCO-SLC which means LAX will be the only domestic route B6 serves that’s west of MCO. Pretty sad state of affairs. You have to wonder if GOAA regrets giving B6 the new Terminal C considering they don’t seem to want to fully utilize it. That’s not allowed. Airlines can’t lea...
Jump to postI put this in the thread about F9 launching SJU-JFK/EWR but it's more apropos here: While not LAX, I think ONT can make a great ULCC hub and id love to see F9 expand there. Yes I know they've added LAX, you can't serve LA without serving LAX as F9 has learned but an ONT hub/base/focus city can do w...
Jump to postView From The Wing reports that a big announcement is coming on major cuts or even closure of the West Coast operation (LAX), leaving just the key BOS, JFK, FLL markets. This really comes as no surprise if it is true. The shift from Long Beach to Los Angeles happened during the pandemic, but even w...
Jump to postGiven the impressive range of the A321XLR, it appears feasible for nonstop flights from Orlando MCO to reach destinations in extreme western Europe such as Dublin DUB and Shannon SNN. Could JetBlue potentially utilize the A321XLR on routes connecting MCO to Ireland in the future? I'm sure they coul...
Jump to postHey all, I’m curious where I could find what Spirit’s network from Miami will look like this fall? I’ve had little avail with their online route map. Thanks!

Jump to postI'm quite skeptical about how viable this'll hold up, as transit in the US can be a pain. Transiting via the US with an ESTA was even a pain. I can't imagine many Colombians will be interested in completing the US visa process just to transit. Then again, EK might try and fill the belly with cargo ...

Exactly. Make...

Jump to postYes they do need to get off, clear immigration/customs at Miami airport along with their checked in luggage which then needs to be re-checked in again and pax have to go through TSA security at MIA. Ground time at MIA should be 2:30-3:00 hours to allow all of this especially if the flight is heavil...
Jump to postCurious that EK didn't follow TY and do a DXB-BOG-PTY-DXB triangle. Not sure that is their business model. Fifth freedom is what they are after, as well as Colombia-Dubai and beyond traffic. Even in the press release they explicitly state they don't expect much Bogota traffic to continue beyond Dub...
Jump to postThis makes so little sense imo.... is the cargo potential that valuable to make MIA-BOG more 'routeworthy' than another flight out of DXB? They can't be launching this for pax demand, BOG will not really contribute a whole lot to the existing MIA-DXB loads (which apparently were quite healthy to be...
Jump to postThe MIA stop will make BOG-DXB a lot less attractive to anyone without a US visa on either end. But if it helps keep DXB-MIA profitable, so be it. Will be a nice premium offer for MIA-BOG pax. I know that transiting PAX have to go through immigration in the US, but in this case since it's the same ...

They have a crew base in Miami. Also, these flights are not discontinued...
Jump to postWho’s to say it is? All of the flights were successful this summer, fall, and winter. AF even averaged 95% capacity in November (when I last bothered checking). AUS’ VS capacity was much lower than that and typically ran at 70% during summer season. If the capacity is too much, airlines have the op...
Jump to postRDU is getting a lot of service recently, however that service needs to mature or you will run into AUS situation RDU is already in an AUS situation with long-haul. Somebody has to snap, it can’t support this amount of capacity which is in excess of local demand. Who’s to say it is? All of the flig...
Jump to postWatch them go to CLT instead. lol. Why would they? And there isn’t even any history to say they would. RDU has been getting all the international expansion in NC and CLT already has DUB flights. If they needed more capacity, AA would happily add frequencies. RDU is getting a lot of service recently...
Jump to postIt appears BOS-HNL..SEA-HNL..SEA-MIA... SLC-HNL would all be aimed at AS and HA.... coincidence?? DL has been building out the SEA hub for the last ten years (from 38? flights at the beginning of 2014), and got the SLC hub with the purchase of Western in 1986. BOS has been getting some attention fo...
Jump to postLooks like there are 5 long-haul AA flights today at LAX (2x HND, 2x LHR, SYD), with the only thing missed today being AKL at 3x weekly for another few weeks. DL has 7 long-haul flights at LAX today: AKL, LHR, CDG, 2x SYD, PPT, HND. Where are you seeing that AA has more long-haul departures than DL...
Jump to postThe market dynamics aren’t the same and AA’s position at LAX isn’t the same. AA is down to 3 year round destinations from LAX: LHR, SYD, HND. With such a small international footprint at LAX, there is absolutely zero chance for something like LAX-CDG. It’s unlikely but it’s not zero. AA will be gro...
Jump to postNo chance AA would enter a highly competitive market like LAX-CDG, absolutely zero chance. AA has flown LAX-CDG in the past, so it’s obviously not zero chance. Perhaps it’s unlikely they will restart it. The market dynamics aren’t the same and AA’s position at LAX isn’t the same. AA is down to 3 ye...
Jump to postAnyone with some knowledge know if MIA-MXP is being seriously considered for a comeback? Or is the MXP market from MIA still not what it was post Covid? I think we will see MIA-FCO before MXP. FCO seems to do extremely well for all the US carriers. UA has added SFO and is adding a second IAD. DL is...
Jump to postSame when you look at miles, going CLE>DFW>EZE for 35k miles total in PE+ or whatever AA calls it (and we booked 5 pax). AA is regularly the cheapest upgrade from my experience. There is entirely too much capacity to AUS/NZ from the US. It's not just SYD/AKL - read the site I linked - it's also ICN...

I’m not saying they are dead but at this point in time it hard to say the ulcc model is working great and sure throw JetBlue in, The ones that didn’t make money are those 3 Allegiant is a ULCC and they made $119.5 million profit for the first 3 quarters of 2023. https://www.sec.gov/ixviewer/ix.html...
