Allegiant is more likely to add ATL as a destination hub/focus city than it is to start service at LZU or elsewhere as a spoke. See G4 at BNA, SFO, LAX. The Allegiant business model has evolved considerably from what it was just ten years ago as a purely small town to vacation destinations, which ba...
Jump to postThinking more along the lines of a Skybus type operation, or at least just Allegiant, how about AHN? Doesn’t do anything for Cobb, but it does for Gwinnett.
Jump to postAtlanta has no need for a second airport. Unlike most cities, ATL is very close to the central business district. In current conditions, it’s a 15 minute drive. It is also easily accessible by transit, and has a station at the airport. New capacity is being added with the 5 additional gates on Conc...
Jump to postI don't recall BA flights using HKG as a transit point from the 70's onwards (possibly before that) on their Australian flights which operated via BAH/DXB/AUH/MCT/BOM/BKK/KUL/SIN/BWN. As for BA LHR-HKG flights before the nonstops, in 747 days they operated via 2 stops (sometimes 3 stops if FRA or F...
Jump to postI've recently become curious about the history of Hong Kong and Macau. HKG has its own major airline in CX. What sort of operations did BA, BOAC, etc. maintain in Hong Kong prior to the handover to China in 1997? Was it a meaningful hub? Did TP (TAP Portugal) have any operations at Macau prior to 19...
Jump to postAs for the Los Angeles area goes, I think ONT is a perfect fit for Breeze. The airport has available gates and could easier expand if needed. Neeleman said they are going to add routes that will have no competition and I could see many routes added from there that would not have direct completion s...
Jump to postI agree with not rebranding it. Rebranding it in my opinion will make the public trust it less. Trying to rebrand the aircraft can be viewed as a cover up by some and that can make it even harder to regain trust at that point. Rebranding worked out great for ValuJet after the media firestorm. The p...
Jump to postCertainly positive news, and I would think these are all part of a strategy to capture passengers fleeing elsewhere in a bid to land WN.

Jump to postThe bleed to TUL and LIT will stop when someone comes in with stimulus through seats and lower fares, whether it’s WN or F9 or someone else. Very little hope given how F9 and NK operate though. Yet another example of the downside of consolidation.

Jump to postI'm going to say one will be MUC-ATL. With the amount of German auto companies in the area, I'm surprised it's not served already.

Jump to postAnd "indoctrinated" as well into the virtues of joining a union and all that comes with it? No doubt.

Jump to postI hope it comes back and fails miserably just to spite the people of Milwaukee. Their public protest to AirTran buying YX and the “save the cookie” campaign was embarrassing.

Jump to postI don't think the lack of a SE hub is going to kill UA. They've really never had one. IMO, Miami didn't count went they took the PA Latin routes because the feed into MIA was minimal. Besides, there really isn't a viable option in the SE to build a hub. What about BNA? Is it off the table because o...

Can someone explain the pros and cons of buying an A/C that is high cycle but low hours and vice versa? Most aircraft have a certain number of certified cycles, which has to do with the pressurization, fatigue in the metals from the extremes of takeoff/landing, etc. So if you are buying high cycle,...
