Jump to postI thought I read that the 717’s were going to remain for another 5 years after the merger.
Jump to postSeems LH has taken the hatchet. - FRA reduces from daily to 6x weekly - MUC reduces from daily to 3x weekly Amazing to think that DE is going to offer more capacity on SEA-FRA this summer! This is not new; it was announced in December. DE has actually had more capacity on FRA-SEA for awhile now! Co...
Jump to postI had read somewhere (probably somewhere on A-Net, albeit quite awhile ago) that SEA was on CPH's top-10 wish list. Would love to see SK give it another try. I think CPH would be a good add for 2025 or 2026, either on SK or DL metal. AI to DEL is the only other likely addition I can see for this ye...

Jump to postIn the past, some airlines called OAK "Oakland/San Francisco" in their timetables.
Jump to postRegarding the B717 fleet, I think they’ve got about 3-5 years left in them but odds are AS will take a long hard look at WN’s solution to rotating aircraft to, through, and back from the islands using existing B737s rather than investing in a dedicated sub fleet. agreed. I think they will have some...
Jump to postJX just officially announced SEA-TPE and put tickets on sale, it'll be 3 weekly to start beginning on 8/17.

Jump to postAS taking out an another carrier in the state of Alaska that many depend on is not a good look for them.

Jump to postI would be curious to know if there are any additional Saab 2000's available around the world if Aleutian wishes to expand.

Spend some time around the gate/counter next time an AF flight is leaving from a Delta hub and I'll guarantee you'll hear more than one passenger vocalize how they were "unaware" they were flying Air France and are confused/unsure/angry/etc. What? No way. This has to be an exaggeration. I...
Jump to postI'm a bit surprised that JX hasn't formally announced the SEA-TPE service yet.
Jump to postI almost wonder if MNL or HKG might have been better choices for DL out of SEA (yes, HKG did fail before but the A339 might change the calculus a bit and UA increasing LAX to 2x/day shows some potential). Hindsight is 20/20 though, and while it’s premature to discuss DL’s demise when none of CI/JX/...

Jump to postDelta has to beef up the SEA Trans Pacific to protect it from AA/Alaska. For now, the AA/AS partnership is not a threat to DL's transpacific routes, unless you consider AS partners and OW members. But I don't think we'll AA metal on overseas routes out of SEA any time soon. More likely we see an Al...

It’s very doubtful DL would try SEA-MNL or SEA-HKG. DL will simply funnel MNL and HKG passengers through ICN. SEA will never be a mega TPAC hub for DL. Nor does SEA have the gate space for DL to create a mega TPAC hub. Why can't they just build more gates then? It's really not that easy given the l...
Jump to postDL announced it before CI and JX. But I agree they will probably pull out first. I also think it was a mistake to essentially hand JFK-HND over to AA, but Im admittedly biased.

Jump to postOut of the four airlines flying or anticipated to fly SEA-TPE, is DL the only daytime flight?
Jump to postTake a look at this article:

Talking out of ignorance here, but SEA/TPE have a combined population of 11-ish million people (Taiwan itself has 24 mill); wealthy populations; tech-centered economies. Isn't it sufficient for 4 carriers to cover the route? that's just O&D markets. Good point, ultimately, it is not the number ...

Don't forget that JX has a partnership with AS. That contribute JX to being successful at SEA. Really though? How many AS customers actually need to get to TPE? And how many Taiwanese folks would want to use AS to connect within North America when they could use DL or UA ex-TPE, and get a superior ...
Jump to postDL's flight time makes it clear that they are doing this flight to feed their US network only and they are not that interested in TPE point of sale, or connection beyond TPE. So my guess is they have a big corporates contract that requires TPE to be added to the network and SEA is the least bad opt...
Jump to postSEA is much smaller O&D market than SFO or LAX so presence of DL is not trivial. You also have to expect that CI and DL will probably cooperate with TPE point of sale. One positive note for JX is the DL flight seems to be timed for optimal US-connection so maybe there is room for JX from TPE O&...
Jump to postI wondered that myself, especially when UA got the authority for GUM-NRT (or HND, I forget). I thought that was a condition for PR to start MNL-SEA flights. Maybe, they changed their mind. I was not aware of such an odd condition. Do you know why a flight between the US and Japan on a US carrier wo...
Jump to postDL will last 1 year max. If they gave up on LAX-LHR this quickly I’m sure they won’t have much patience for this either. As I have said many times on a.net, just because something works for UA internationally doesn’t mean it will work for others. In this case, UA has SFO, the crown jewel of TPAC. M...

OK, so it sounds as if Starlux is coming, and CI is still a ''maybe." Aside from that, what is the thought of anyone on this board as to the next most likely newcomer to SEA -- if not starting service in '24, then at least officially announcing in '24 and starting in '25? I think the next carr...
