Could Delta bid for this slot with a second lax slot? I believe they could. I would assume the schedule would be something like departing LAX at 17:00 arriving HND 22:30. Flight back departing HND at 00:30 arriving LAX ~17:30. Will be interesting to see whether DL applies or not. Highly unlikely. I...
Jump to postWhat if AA applied for a third daily LAX-HND to grab these nighttime slots? NH105/106 shows that LAX-HND can work with nighttime slots
Jump to postCan they try flying to warmer destinations in the winter (think JNB/CPT/MRU/MLE etc.?)
Jump to postInteresting RFP, that's for sure. Another question is why they would specifically want Dash 8-300s and not consider getting ATRs.
Perhaps it's an issue with them having both A310 and 737 Classic pilots, and them not wanting to switch to a single manufacturer?
Agreed, they somehow popped out of nowhere a year or two ago and their articles have the quality of a content farm.
Jump to postI just did a dummy search for Oct 14-18 and D1 is readily available. Fares range from $3,791-$5,178 RT. The higher fares are the first few flights of the day. Are there specific dates you're looking at? For domestic business/first? $5,000? You gots to be kidding. What kind of fool pays this sort of...
Jump to postWill we see any intercontinental flights anytime soon?
Jump to postSame reason why there are only 4 daily flights on LGA-IAD, all on regional equipment. Beyond connections, it makes little sense to fly between a close-in airport and a far-away airport, you don't get much of a revenue premium.

JFK-GYE is barely longer than HEL-TFS. Surely this can be operated using an A321ceo?
Jump to postLOL “Albert Einstein-Donald Trump Airport.” That said, a Narita-style airport for New York isn’t a bad idea. Connect it with an efficient train and leave JFK for business pax, like Haneda. I’ve heard worse ideas. Haneda is like twice the size of Narita. It's going to be difficult to attract 200m pa...

Jump to postCan't they fly the route with a 73G or something? Wouldn't that reduce costs?
Jump to postIf they are desperate for an airline with significant Central European operations, Vueling would be a quick and easy add, with its FCO hub.
Jump to postI'm struggling to understand this route. Why would BA devote a 789 to a leisure destination, twice weekly from LHR, not even LGW? Is there something special about this market? With all of the ME3 serving SEZ, they probably have a grip on most of the lower-yield traffic Europe - SEZ. By operating th...

Jump to postAccelerate 3 x A321 by 1 year. Delay 13 x A321 NEO x 4 to 5 years. Delaying A321's doesn't seem to jive well with getting rid of E-190's, unless their market outlook is very negative. Considering NEO engine production delays, this may likely be Airbus offering to provide a discount if B6 were willi...

I don't think so. Ryanair doesn't buy other airlines no matter how cheap they are, they just compete them out into final bankrupcy. Sure Ryanair will be willing to take over a bit of the route network of Air Berlin just like they promised to do with Alitalia, but not the airline itself. This would ...
