I can sorta figure out the short term game DL can play with MFE (at least in the winter months)-use MSP as a very fat spoke for winter beach traffic down to places like South Padre Island, and anything else you get from O&D traffic and the other spokes is gravy. DL could try doing the same thin...

Jump to postI keep reading from a certain poster that AA’s going to have so many more gates than the competition and is going to regain all this marketshare at LAX and yet AA continues to pull back its LAX operations.

Jump to postI have a question regarding a gate at the TBIT? Before closing to work on the West Gates/MSC, gate 131 could handle 777s, 787s, etc. Since DL started working on the T3-TBIT connector, the biggest plane gate 131 can take is a B757 (DL uses 131 all the time for its LAX-MEX flight). Now that T3-TBIT i...

Jump to postLooking at the scan of the chart, one may notice Rwy 6/24 doesn't have an approach lighting system. The City of Los Angeles actually banned arrivals to 6/24 up until 1967/1968, or so. I believe the city finally relented due to traffic volume.

Jump to postHow does the TBIT access agreement work? I know before COVID, AA had access to 4 widebody gates (153/155/157/159) until 11 AM and one narrowbody gate (151) around the clock. What else is part of that agreement? Basically, AA would receive preferential use of the gates if certain passenger throughpu...
Jump to postI'm pretty sure its for the Surf Air operations. IPL/LAX traffic, for the most part, connects to/from Alaska Airlines (and the American codeshare flights).

Jump to postInitial impression on the Southern Airways Express allocation is that EAS for IPL will be moved to SNA (with approval of DoT).

I figured this deserves its own thread. We have one for the Delta T3. Since AA is remodeling T4, I have a couple of questions. 1) I saw on FlyerTalk that the northern half of the T4 airside won't be demolished. This makes sense as it would take out most of the T4 widebody gates and TBIT is getting ...

Jump to postWith a landing fee of nearly USD8.00 p/1000lbs for the upcoming fiscal year, the days of turbine 50 seats or less on a scheduled basis to/from LAX are waning. $8 per 1k lbs is a rounding error for a legacy airline. A ERJ145 is 43k lbs, so its literally $344 per landing. For a flight like LAX-RDD wh...

How far ONT is from the most densely populated parts of LA really would have no effect on whether or not to consolidate more of the operation at ONT.
