Re: BOS airline growth

BOS needs more gates to accommodate more flights, perhaps even a new terminal and expand existing ones. I don't know if this possible or MASSPORT is even considering it. It would be preferable to build another airport, but I'm not going there.

Re: American rolls back secondary Cuba even more

I think airlines thought opening up Cuba, and especially the resort destinations would be a cash cow. Obviously not. If it was resorts, the Caribbean is littered with such resorts. The competition is stiff here. Most Americans don't think Cuba when they want to go on vacation in the Caribbean. Ther...

Re: Trump wants privatized ATC in the US

There are so many activities the US government can privatize, but I'm not so sure about ATC. I mean what would be the purpose of taking an integrated ATC system and breaking it up in pieces? How do you ensure competition? Or even safety? I'm sure there's a debate to be had here, of course, but, in m...

Re: PIA plan A330 for LHR - New premium service added

Very good news that PIA is acquiring newer aircraft to replace its aging fleet, but I do have some questions: 1. Does this mean PIA's A310 fleet is finally going to be retired? This aircraft has been a workhorse for PIA, 2. Why would you cut capacity to a slot-controlled airport like LHR? 3. Wouldn'...

Re: LATAM Launches Miami-Recife

LATAM is going to launch Miami-Recife service on September 24th. LATAM will operate one round-trip 767 flight per week.

Re: EKA380: Who gets it first, SEA, ORD, BOS

Correct if I'm wrong, but BOS doesn't have the gate facilities to handle a 380? I know EK said it would like to do double daily with 380s, but it was due to lack of facilities.

Re: BA bringing first class cabin back to BWI?

Sounds like BA is testing the waters. It's a 767 route so it will be interesting to see if it can sustain a first-class cabin. BA could also have some 787s in a high-density configuration.
