Both AA and DL offer one daily flight to please Massport. Correct but why does AA intentionally serve ORH-JFK over a real hub like PHL with actual connectivity? Pre-B6/AA NEA, AA served PHL from ORH which made perfect sense then later moved it to JFK with the NEA. Now with no more NEA, what role do...
Jump to postThe Media has had lots of coverage about UCONN's terrible flight delays getting to the Final Four. It appears from Flight Aware that Eastern was the original carrier. The crew timed out, forcing UCONN to take an Allegiant A320 departing BDL at 1:23 AM. Eastern 9503 EAL9503 / 2D9503 LANDED OVER 2 DA...

Considering BDL and HVN compete against each other and WN has a rather decent sized operation at BDL, I'd consider that substantial overlap. WN is also large in BUR. The point is eliminating low fare competition is part of why the B6 NK merger didn't go through, it's just a larger scale. WN and XP ...

Jump to postIt's still surprising to me that breeze hasn't opened up IND. It serves basically every other market similar to IND - CMH, CVG, PIT, SDF, and CLE(kinda through CAK), plus served SAT as well.

Jump to postThe economics of the A220 perhaps? I'm guessing you dont do much in terms of route level P&L and airline economics. While the A220 is "efficient" from a comparison to a A319CEO, it is still not cheap. It's going to likely cost $5500-$7000 per block hour for an A220. The BDL-DUB flight...
Jump to postPVD-DUB could work pretty well for them. Does EI still fly to BDL? They do. From what I heard, the flight performed adequately prior to being suspended during the pandemic. I have no idea how it's doing now. I wonder if BDL can support two carriers to DUB. European flights to Europe did not do well...
Jump to postAnother interesting flight would have been STL-BDL-PWM-BDL-STL, although I am not sure if this operated in 1996 and how long it lasted.
Jump to postI hear all of this, but I think the COS vs. DEN calculus has changed fundamentally in the past 2 or 3 years as Denver has gotten more congested and DEN has gotten harder to use.

Jump to postOn a slightly different note, I cannot imagine the logistics that go into a diversion like this, from crew to pax, etc Typically the plane just sits and waits for weather to clear if that was the reason for the diversion.
