Existing thread on topic is here -- https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1432527 I started my thread yesterday at 11am (see my OP). The “existing” thread you linked below was started 6-hours later at 4pm. Why is that thread the one being called the existing thread and not mine? Y...
Jump to postNice lie. 6 were dropped. 2 were added. All but one of those are in the headline. Go to Twitter or reddit if you want to try to create drama. Ah, good ole a.net. It's getting worse than Facebook with snarky comments. You seem to take special effort in dissing AS. Not sure why, but they aren't nearl...
Jump to postLooks like another record day yesterday at BNA. 10/6 beat out 9/22 with 32,828 pax screened compared with 32,654, respectively. And there are still tons of Bills fans in town... I would guess some Bills fans live here. I remember when the Titans first played in Memphis and Bud Adams was livid that ...
Jump to postInteresting how an airline is both adding and cutting routes, but only the reductions are noted as to paint a picture of despair to fit their narrative. Nice lie. 6 were dropped. 2 were added. All but one of those are in the headline. Go to Twitter or reddit if you want to try to create drama. Ah, ...
Jump to postI wonder how the IAF building will be utilized. Nashville will never need 6 international capable gates. Hopefully they will all be CUTE gates. I really can't see more than 3 TATL flights ever from BNA, perhaps a flight to TYO. Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America all have flights that are doa...
Jump to postI guess it is just hard for me to believe that all the other airlines are just going to stand by and say sure, WN you can have all these new gates. We are good. We don’t want to expand in a market exploding like it is. I agree. I may be wrong, but has the airport or WN even said they get all of C &...

Jump to postAirfare is too cheap, this is proof. Can anyone here translate boomerese? I'm not a boomer, but possibly you are. Airfare is too cheap in this country. This allows the "degenerates" to easily purchase tickets and continue doing their behavior at 30,000 feet. Higher airfare allows a more r...
Jump to postI see no new DL S20 routes loaded for sale. OAG thread will confirm any changes but I found nothing new to anywhere remotely sensible. You know Delta hasn't announced any routes yet? "Next week" isn't close to over yet. The closest they have come to announcing anything about BOS for next ...
Jump to postWhilst I personally don't see anything wrong with smoking pot, this was a pretty dumb thing to do. Unless he is going to argue the rules do not specifically state the smoking of marijuana. We may have to see the phrase "no smoking of any substance" onboard, including vaping. It was the cor...
Jump to postThread title is a little misleading. It states "Sao Paulo in Brazil and Toronto in Canada are also on the radar.". That sounds more like a wish list than a planned route. Not saying it won't work, but I'd hold off until they actually announce it.
Jump to postJust saw on Airline Route's daily newsletter DL is putting the 220 on two of it's four daily flights to BOS, the other two being E75's; starting in May 2020..

PHX is AA’s least profitable hub not located in a key intl market (MIA, NYC, and LAX). Also, it is heavily overlapping with DFW and LAX. So taking these factors into consideration, what is the future of AA at PHX? AA has/will add 12 routes from PHX this year, including 2 international LHR, CUU, MSN...
Jump to posthttps://www.wkrn.com/special-reports/global-economy-airport-expansion-will-land-nashville-more-international-flights/ WKRN News 2 did a story on BNA looking for additional international service. At this time, I don’t think it would be in BNA’s best interest to land another European flight. Should w...
Jump to postTheir homepage on the net has a petition to the competition bureau. I don't even see a route map that used to be there (I may be overlooking it). I'm not sure Canada needs another ULCC.
Jump to postMost of these look like they make financial sense. I wouldn't be surprised if they are not taken back up once the MAX is back in service. WN doesn't have to fly to every city pair, except of course to the collective opinion of a.net experts.
Jump to postThis is probably the last thing the protesters wanted honestly. To see their Hong Kong reduce airlinks to the rest of the democratic world. Hopefully UA returns but the situation in HKG is unbearable and probably won't stay like this for long. Trying not to make this political, but yes the situatio...
Jump to postI’m talking about passenger growth overall, I think they are still underestimating to some extent. The BNA Vision literature keeps saying passenger traffic will grow to 23 million+ by 2030s. Reality is we’ll be crossing the 20 million mark next year and we need to be prepping for 30 million+ by 203...
Jump to postThey have been growing, just not in new destinations, it’s been purely in frequencies. Next year, they’ll be gaining a new concourse and the MAX should be back, so more gates and planes = more growth/new destinations. The problem with the lack of new announcements in general is BNA is literally out...

Jump to postWill anything be added in the coming years? WN adding ATL-SMF and ATL-SJC nonstop service might happen as SMF and SJC are the two largest WN stations without nonstop service to ATL on WN, even though both of these destinations are already served nonstop from ATL on DL. Other top non-DL hub destinat...
Jump to postWhat about NYC - AKL? A QF 789, or an AA 77W or 789? Even if it had to be payload restricted, could the yield make up for it? NZ/UA beat QF/AA to ORD - now QF/AA may want pay-back against NZ/UA on the non-stop front at NYC. Cheers, C. Seems highly unlikely. If anyone is going to fly NYC-AKL, it wou...
Jump to postContour is supposedly planning to add IND-BNA sometime in the near future With respect to sub-300 mile routes from BNA, most of the airports under 300 miles from BNA are quite small (SDF, BHM, GSP, e.t.c). Looking at the O&D on STL-BNA(90-110 PDEW depending on the season) which is similar in di...
Jump to postI've gotten multiple emails and alerts in the past half hour. Sounds major.
Jump to postI have to agree with Revelation on this. The ULH routes are really not going to amount to a large number of frames being purchased by anyone. Realistically, there are not that may city pairs that can support such a service. While I am a fan of Boeing, they are a bit of a mess at the moment. IMO, the...
Jump to postOK...somewhat off topic but in regards to AA in Nashville. I'm flying them for the first time in 6 years BNA-DFW-BNA in October. Insanely cheap ticket after miles used. Has their service gotten any better or is it going to be a long two hours? That’s my most flown route! It will feel almost identic...

Jump to postMany of those are Express flights. Airlines replace mainline flights with RJs and then cancel RJ routes as a common strategy to minimize impact. So it could be MAX related. Probably is.

Jump to postSome good memories here, thanks. I used to sit on the balcony of my apartment in Irving and lose count of the Eagle CV-580's flying overhead.

Jump to postUU had plans on a high density 380 service, something 700+ pax. They cancelled the orders. It would not have been pretty.
Jump to postHidden city bookings aren't new. IIRC, there was even a newsletter on how to book these in the 80's or early 90's.
Jump to postAA is expanding their Five Star Service to BNA--a service they previously only offered almost exclusively at their hubs. They're also adding the service in Austin, so either they're targeting Delta's focus city expansion, or they're targeting the music industry. Perhaps both. https://thepointsguy.c...
Jump to postNW had a hub at NRT up until the late 2000s. How sad. Why sad? If they are not making money on the flights, why keep them just because NW once had a hub at NRT? If DL wanted to fly to the cities they are dropping at NRT, they would have already done so, or are free to start them if they have traffi...
Jump to postDidn't North American Airlines fly into DFW as a feeder to LY at one time? I know that arrangement didn't last very long.
Jump to postI think in hindsight, Boeing will regret not moving on Bombardier before Airbus. I know they have a lot of irons in the fire right now. I'm a Boeing fan, but IMO the A220 series is going to bury the E2.
Jump to postAre people still questioning WN? Why fix what isn't broken, as hOMSaR pointed out? The general answer to such a question is: Because what doesn't evolve, will eventually perish due to changing environmental pressures. That said, there doesn't seem to be any catalyst on the foreseeable horizon to br...
Jump to postAaaaahhhh typical a.net, every new airline is the dumbest idea ever... unless the airline resurrects an old brand!

Jump to postI wonder how many of WN's passengers on BNA-EWR were headed to or coming from the east side of the Hudson versus New Jersey. I don’t know, but just having LGA will be fine. EWR is congested and inefficient so I’m not sad to see it go. Once the MAX fiasco is over, BNA will see plenty of growth and n...

The -9 and the -10 aren't flying out of Midway. I could see the -10 with 200 seats for other airports with longer runways on trunk routes. The longshot would be if they put the gear of the -10 on the -9, then WN could operate that out of Midway if the -9 got better field performance. Given the natu...
Jump to postHey, just wondering if any of you guys know what's going on with UA using a 787-10 on a scheduled flight to BNA from EWR today. Is my flightradar24 glitching out or something? Lol In another thread there's conversation of NYC having a lot of WX diversions tonight. Would they divert so far from EWR?
Jump to postHow long before G4 makes BNA a year round destination? Lots of early starts and extensions there. good to see I was skeptical when they announced BNA. Looks as if they are making an effort to grow into the "hub" that they portray on their route map. Quite a few destinations never served f...
