Wow, I was wondering if this might happen given the F9 PHL announcement last week! This is great news for all those small cities! These are some VERY good schedules! The OMA-PHL flight is about 30 minutes too early, otherwise all the other times are perfect for many reasons! Eh, the PHL-SAT-PHL tim...

Jump to postA third runway is not really an option. You have I-95 on one side, the Delaware River on (basically) two sides, and quite a bit of industry all around.

Jump to postWould have been nice to see OKC get a flight or two to PHL. With UA making their EWR flight seasonal, might've been an opportunity for AA to pick up some international connections.

DL inherited the PHL-CDG route from Air France, since DL flies 752s and AF doesn't, and that's how much traffic the route could support. That after a few years of seasonal trading off between DL 752s in winter and AF 744s in summer. Terminating this route entirely in summer strikes me as very odd. ...

ORD-VCE and PHL-PRG/BUD are seasonal right?
These routes sound like slam dunks, if they are only operating for 4 months a year.
Not sure if its news or not but it appears that in addition to JFK losing one of its flights to CDG, Boston is also losing its seasonal service to CDG.

Since the merger was announced, I always felt AA would eventually focus its northeast hub, and TATL gateway, at PHL. With some JFK flights possibly shifted to PHL. Looks that is happening. AA/US continues the merger tradition of closing, or significantly cutting back on a hub and in this case it's ...

Jump to postThis is what I had expected the day the AA/US merger was announced. However, there has yet to be concrete examples of this so I will believe it when I see it. Both the supposed two new transatlantic routes from PHL in S18 as well as a larger push for AA passengers to fly int'l through PHL over JFK.
Jump to postI hope WN will move into more transcon markets as they take more Maxes and add red eye flying (OAK-EWR year round, OAK-BOS, OAK-PHL, etc. OAK-JFK?). OAK will be a likely focus there in addition to whenever Hawaii starts. The legacies have shown no inclination to increase service after slashing it i...
Jump to postAfter the swap of BA to AA metal this spring, the total seats went up 100 or so per day between the two. It is now flown 2x on AA 333s and 1x on BA 747. I believe before the swap it was 1x AA 333, 1x BA 772, and 1x BA 789 on most days.

Jump to postF9, as said, is likely but as for new destinations - top F9 stations include DEN, MCO, LAS, ORD, ATL, and PHL. Of these, OKC does not have service to just PHL. They also do not have service to CLE and CVG as well as MIA and TPA which are also warm weather stations.

On the flip, it is servicing PHL-DEN at 2x this summer.

No need to carry the conversation on (unless others want to) but adamh brings up the point of leak to EWR. I have no idea how one could try to quantify if that exists and how much of it does - but another interesting point indeed.

Jump to postKLM's network continues to impress - particularly their success in smaller markets in Scotland (INV, ABZ) and Norway (AES, BGO, TRD, SVG).
Their (apparent) success in these markets makes me wonder why BA and LH have struggled and pulled out of many of these while KLM continues to expand.
