Jump to postI would be really interested in the overall “longhaul“-performance of the A220 in the 4000-6000km sector. In theory the range of the A220 has even more potential then even Air Austral and Air Baltic are currently utilizing. Air Austral currently flies the longest A-220 flight in the world, Reunion ...
Jump to postCould the A220 suit EI to do some TATL routes to 2nd/3rd tier ports in North America? Or is TATL on the A220 just not economical for such long routes, even though they can technically do them?

Jump to postI know having a maintenance facility means little in the way of additional air service but is there any chance United will ever add service to PDX aside from additional frequencies to the current hubs? United used to be so dominant here but very quiet over the last 10-15 years. LAX seems to be a ho...
Jump to postUnited’s PDX hangar is having its open house today. It only took three years to repurpose this old ANG hangar. They should’ve just built a new one for cheaper and it would have been finished in 1/4 of the time. Wish I could see that,Is this open to the public, or just invited guests? What aircraft ...
Jump to postI thought the same thing as well, but when I looked and saw PSC had service to MSP, I was surprised, because surely the connections made in SEA/SLC would be sufficient enough but apparently not? PSC has the benefit of the national laboratory being there, they alone probably have triple digits worth...
Jump to postPDX would be an interesting play. If they pulled it off, it would be a poison pill against a future attempt by AS to merge with them after the dust settles with HI. I don't know if AS would want to acquire SY or not, I think the cultures are compatible enough, the fleet commonality is great with fl...
Jump to postWhen I see the Breeze route map, it's clear the Pacific Northwest & The Midwest need some love from MX. I'd love to see them bring some of those A-220's to Washington & Oregon, as well as some select cities in the Midwest getting service from Florida & California.
Jump to postMy guess is MKE, or a return to PDX. When one thinks about it, SY tried their PDX mini-hub in 2019, we all know what challenges laid ahead in the next 12 months. The main guy in SY's route planning department is from AS. His input is what motivated SY to try the ULCC thing at PDX. That year saw SY ...
Jump to postPDX-SAN/BUR were also added starting 8/7, it appears. BUR is new, SAN a resumption of services after I don't know how many years.

Jump to postNice to see AS adding PDX-ATL. Long overdue it seems. Would have figured that it would come at the same time they added SAN-ATL, but perhaps they were weary of DL responding.

I’m wondering how well the A321 will perform on SLC-HNL, given the hot and high conditions at SLC.

IMHO Performance has rarely matched the sold expec...
