So, basically BOS, JFK and Northeast to Florida. Not sure if Europe will last in the Fall. Overdue but necessary. I really do wish them the best.

Jump to postShort answer: opportunity costs. The yields are better to other markets that are shorter in distance so you turn the aircraft around faster and make more money. That's why. those mint flights on BOS-SEA also use aircraft for the full day. There are domestic flights that don't do well. There are TAT...
Jump to postMKE vs MCI. WN makes MCI just lower yielding market. As for TATL, I'm not really sure why people keep harping on it. They are doing fine. it's the domestic florida stuff that really crashed when ULCCs loaded up on capacity there. And as you can see from the cuts, the west coast stuff were disastrous...
Jump to postIt’s out. Here’s what’s cut: While we always hate to see a market come off our route map, we have made the difficult decision to leave Bogotá (BOG); Quito (UIO); Lima (LIM) and Kansas City (MCI) on June 13. These markets are unprofitable and our aircraft time can be better utilized elsewhere. We wi...

Jump to postyeah, I wouldn't be concerned about E90s sticking around. A220 delivery is a major issue, but it will be gone in a while. And then cost issues will get better.
Jump to postof course they won't close LAX. That's ridiculous. But if they have all sort of issues on East coast, it makes no sense to divert resources to intra west coast flying. I would love to see them doing better in west coast, but they don't have the solid foundation in East coast right now. They aren't g...
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 postLooks like flights to DUB started already. Interesting enough to me at least, they are using A321LDs for these rather than A321LRs https://ir.jetblue.com/news/news-details/2024/JetBlue-Flights-to-the-Emerald-Isle-Taking-Off-Today/default.aspx It would probably make sense to also fly to places like E...
Jump to postB6 has already taken some steps to remedy controllable D0 by increasing turn times. The idea that you can take an A320 arriving in JFK from TPA and then turn it around to PBI in 40 minutes or less is just not possible. They had no slack in their schedule. If you look, you're seeing longer turn time...
Jump to postJetBlue is premium in some ways and low cost in some ways, that’s where I’m saying they need to pick one or the other. They still categorize themself as a low cost carrier, but I’m not sure that’s still accurate. I know you say you’re confused, but think for a second, does what they are working to ...
Jump to postthis seems like something that is long time coming. They need to not only add Mint lounge but regular FC on their aircraft. It was a really bad decision to go all Y on A220
Jump to postthis seems like bad for JetBlue.
If only B6 had better management. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.
i think this is generally a good move. The problem is that Joanna is still at the top. Hopefully Joanna is more so the face of B6 and only works on behinds the scene things and government side of the operation. I think if left alone Warren and Marty could run a great operation. Robin never really d...

Jump to postWe don't know much about the C919's efficiency, yet. However, as a tube with wings powered by LeapX fans, it should be in the same league as the A320N and B737M. Perhaps even a little better, since it's a new design. In any case, it's only natural that the scale should follow. For the moment, they'...
Jump to postThey need to get their own lounge built at JFK, BOS and LAX for mint stuff and highest tier ff. no reason to get widebodies when they are not gate restricted at BOS or JFK.
Jump to postHow B6 got here is logical. The moves done to support NEA is understandable. The idea of trying to get NK's fleet to support growth is understandable. But now that both have fallen apart, they need to make changes. Now, I think Joanna is a terrible choice to have at helm, but whatever. I'm generally...
Jump to posti think this has been planned for a while now. Unfortunately, we will not be spared of a Joanna CEO tenure. Hayes had his contract extended until September 2025, so no this was not planned. Regardless of what one may think of his tenure as a CEO, I wish him the best for him healthwise. . I have no ...

Jump to postB6 has been awarded slots for AMS S24 ...The American budget airline JetBlue may continue to fly to Schiphol next summer season. Air India and fifteen other airlines are also allowed to continue flying (more). The slot coordinator has allocated all available summer slots for 2024 at Schiphol today,...
Jump to postIt is my belief that (and I speculate here) that the economy (failed RE companies, defaulted foreign debt) will force China to evaluate. Part cost is a function of purchase rate. With so much foreign content in the C919, how they pay is their call. The ARJ-21 isn't a great example. I personally wou...

as usual, Jetblue whining works. Say what you will, but JetBlue has gotten quite a few free slots through whining and political favors, why should it stop?
Jump to posti flew sfo-jfk last night. Going through harvey milk terminal. The A concourse seems to have all the gates now and still about the same number of flights. If JetBlue ever wants to expand at SFO, imo, it should be fairly easy to get gate space. Also going from T5 to airtrain this morning, I saw T6 un...
Jump to postwell, they can deny B6 access to AMS, but now it's up to B6 to keep complaining about unfairness and see if they can get remedial slots from KLM.
Jump to postdidn't jonnyc report a revolt under way against robin and the board? It's about time something happens to shake up this airline. Who still has faith in this leadership?
Jump to postDUB and EDI will be flown with A321neo (non-LR) aircraft with no intentions of installing ovens in the aft galley despite now regularly using the aircraft to cross the Atlantic.

Jump to postMAN & LIS makes sense. I'm not sure if LR can make it to BCN in the winter time. I'd probably stay away from MAD for now. BCN to BOS should be doable. It's only 30nm longer than LIS-IAD which operates all Winter but does make a rare tech stop here and there, in the Azores. BCN-JFK is probably t...
Jump to postSo, DUB and EDI. I guess there could be two more in 2024? I doubt they launch TATL routes outside of summer season. Just doesn't make sense. Maybe could add to their London schedule if they take more deliveries. There is not that much demand to places like Glasgow or Shannon in winter season discus...

Jump to postLHR and AMS is not LAX and SFO. They simply cannot add flights to London and Amsterdam like they can LAX & SFO. For that reason alone, JetBlue cannot be the disrupture of prices to Europe that they claim they will be They had the same issue with LHR and stated thier case and got permanent slots...
Jump to postJetBlue will complain hard and it has normally worked well for it, so why stop complaining? They'd be foolish to not fight for airport access.
Jump to postEvery order for C919 in China is one less for Airbus/Boeing. Lets see how much marketshare it starts taking away in the years to come. So from what I can see, A320/737 duopoly in China will essentially become A320/C919 duopoly over next 10 years. Keep in mind that Airbus has final assembly plant in...

Jump to postI'm sure A/B would've been happy with 100 new orders and would've taken out the champagne bottle. The only thing A/B can do now is improve their product, in order to compete with the C919. This is why the C919 being successful is great for the aviation industry. More competition means more innovati...
Jump to postthe leisure markets are clearly weaker right now. After NK & F9 revised down their guidance, it was pretty obvious B6 would have to do so too.
Jump to postseems like both airlines are doing so terribly financially that DOJ will have to eventually allow this merger to go through.
I am of the camp that they likely are negotiating a deal with DOJ right now
Also, while the numbers from a fare basis may not be great. We should also remember one of the big reasons B6 got into this outside of customer requests was to offer Mint service in particular at a fraction of the cost of the likes of VS and BA, so while they could do with more revenue, those other...

right now, there is a lot to untangle wrt NEA AA says they are getting all the slots back which means, B6 will need to redeploy all that aircraft elsewhere. You can do your own calculations on where that might be, but I'd imagine much of that ends up in BOS and maybe EWR. So, in terms of BOS-MCI, I'...
