Jump to postIf the NEA falls apart, AA should focus on BOS and PHL. Obviously NYC is a very important market, but the focus should be on primarily OD only. A good comparison is DLs operation in DCA, which is also an important domestic OD market. Maintain high daily frequency LGA flights on AA to the in-permitt...

Jump to postIf anything I think it creates an advocate for the airport and the impact it has. As evident by her quote... Cameron has a few focuses in mind as she wraps up her tenure at PHL in the coming weeks. First, she’ll look to a proposed amendment to the the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter that seeks to cre...
Jump to postThere is a ton of demand to Florida right now and historically there was quite a bit of capacity across US, FL, and WN...though not as much as there is currently. This is partly why I think a F9/NK merger will see quite a bit of cuts in PHL. I do not see a combined carrier flying 6-8x to MCO/FLL+MIA...

But many destinations only have 3x flts/day to PHL, clearly indicating there are still several banks missing from the AA PHL hub.
Admittedly though, PHL is wayyyyy behind with developing cargo operations. If it weren't for UPS there would practically be no operations..yet PHL is in relatively close proximity of areas with booming warehouse/distribution development (Lehigh Valley, Central/South Jersey, York/Lancaster).

Jump to postI understand AA has had a rough time in Germany, but could this also be that ~3x day CLT-Germany flights across AA/LH (which have generally favored business travel) are simply too many in an international travel environment that is favoring leisure travel.

Jump to postI agree, I don't see much remaining for B6/NK outside of the overlapping FLL, and maybe some Florida/SJU routes.
The NEA being blown up will help PHL, but I do not think routes like DOH and India will suddenly shift to PHL.
The port of Philadelphia is planning on expanding and receive more ships and larger ships in the future along with the regionals being upgauge in size will runway 17-35 have any good use in the future? In the summer when winds favor a southern or southwesterly flow, landing ops on 17 should be no f...
Jump to postWell it's a big weekend in PHL with AA TATL routes resuming after 2 years. Tonight's flights head to BCN/MAD and tomorrow's to CDG/LIS. I presume cargo will be carrying most of these flights until the season really kicks into gear. Regardless it's great to have more EU dots back in PHL. Very very v...

That does make sense. Keep in mind, with the NE Alliance with B6, AA had committed to removing one class Eagle planes from JFK and LGA, and has had to put E175s at JFK and LGA, and I suspect a lot were take off PHL routes.
That is almost similar to PHL-SAT which had 162 PDEW in 2019 with AA on the route. Now who knows when AA will restart it.

Jump to postMy thought process here is that, If the widebody deliveries continue to pose a problem for AA and they have to deploy them elsewhere, maybe AA gives B6 the green light to step in to offer a more premium experience. Or are you saying that legally, they cannot do something like this out of PHL becaus...

Jump to posta) All these routes were cut, some were cut to S21 frequency others even less, many more were also cut that don't overlap with JFK. Am I to believe AA doesn't expect an increase in domestic travel in S22 over S21, even in spite of higher domestic business and a larger TATL schedule? b) If you want ...
Jump to postWhile AA originally claimed PHL wouldn't be impacted by the B6+AA tie-up, it seems like that just isn't the case.

Jump to postWN is in a different situation at PHL (where WN can more easily add more flights and where WN is unlikely to be maxed out) compared to capacity-restricted airports such as BUR (which has gate limits), DAL (which has gate limits), LGB (which has slot restrictions), LGA (which is landlocked and has s...
Jump to postI thought the planned S22 schedule across both F9 and NK already got them pretty close to 40 flts/day.
I doubt we see anything from WN. I don't think PHL is high on their priority. They've declined to Florida maintaining a very token presence.
It seems like they overlap from the Northeast to the South. Are they really going to fly 5-8x daily PHL-MCO/FLL, 2-3x daily PHL-PBI/TPA, 3-4x daily PHL-SJU, among others. All of which is what they currently fly separately. I've seen that play out before with FL and WN.
Jump to postQR looks like they fly the 35K a few times a week this month. No idea if that is simply based on aircraft availability
Jump to postYeah about that. So no date was ever given for this project and I currently don't see rfp or bids for this project. I would guess AA walked back on this and just leave PHL alone. B is okay but cramped C is older but very cramped as well. Tbh I don't see AA investing in PHL because it's competition ...
Jump to postUnfortunate but as mentioned I think B6 was late to the game on both MCO and SJU. Their priority currently is NYC/BOS and as a result do not have the resources to throw elbows around against 4 and 3 competitors respectively on PHL-MCO/SJU
Jump to postUS to Asia seems unpredictable at best for a few years. I do not anticipate anything soon.
Jump to postYeah this year I would presume is going to be flat. Next year is going to be the real one for PHL to be excited for with XLR deliveries to commence.

Jump to postReally appreciate the work...I love this view. As mentioned it will be interesting to see how this changes between now and ~May. Currently AA flies at least 10 321N into PHL each day but none on the schedule yet for the summer.

Jump to postSo UA won’t fly from IAD-PHL. That sounds enormously dumb. Why? Not only is PHL-WAS a hub-hub route for competitor AA, and UA also has to contend with $18 (spot checked) train tickets, and $15 express bus fare. Unless UA was getting some kind of premium transfer traffic (which they apparently were ...

YHZ 1x weekly seems really odd or is that just me?? I'm speculating that there will be other AA flights to YHZ, they just haven't been announced yet.
