Re: Delta asks DOT to move Haneda route authorities

Asia demand has been slow to recover since the pandemic, but I think there will come a day when Delta regrets ceding the TPAC market to its competitors. So many squandered opportunities. It’s amazing that they are down to a mere 4 Asia-Pacific destinations. 5 if you count AKL, which will launch soo...

Re: Delta asks DOT to move Haneda route authorities

I have been hearing about how amazing TPAC was going to be for all of the US airlines for the past 25 years. Sure there are years they have made money in the region, but also years they have lost a lot of money. Blame it on any of the following: 9/11 SARS Currency imbalances Price of oil / fuel Glo...

Re: Delta asks DOT to move Haneda route authorities

I agree, PDX was the weakest link to start with. It was mostly sub-daily even with the NRT hub. However, to be fair, DL was the only carrier with at that time with TATL & TPAC offer from PDX (they even had a TPAC scissor hub at PDX) and thought they could retain that proposition. However, what ...

Re: Delta asks DOT to move Haneda route authorities

I’m assuming additional ATL, SEA, and LAX… There is no demand for additional service to these cities either. Demand to Japan in general from the US is severely depressed. I can’t imagine DL adding additional service and flying more to these cities than in 2019 at a time when demand is significantly...

Re: 3M Fight Department closing?

That's for sure. I know of a flight department who at one time had three G550's and a G280 and my pal a Senior Training Captain often said that very thing, never talk about the flight department especially around company people. Those who flew on the jets were very tight lipped regarding that fact....

Re: Detroit Aviation - 2023

A lot of Delta changes came about that appear to restore frequencies at the cost of a mainline plane. For example, The late departure to SYR was an A320 and was reverted back to a CRJ-900 and the 4th frequency will be re-introduced (probably because of the RJ cuts in LGA freed up RJs). BHM, MDW, an...

Re: United Airlines Network - 2023

They plan to return LAX-AKL? Did I miss something? There hasn’t been an official announcement, but a respected user has said they plan to return this year. Weather they do if not remains to be seen, the route wasn’t dropped. This was AA's plan BEFORE DL and UA announced LAX-AKL. They were planning ...

Re: B6 Takes Over AA Flying on LGA-ATL from May 5

Given DL's A321 carry 191 passengers, there's already a lot of lift from them. Know we are focused on the widebodies, but I don't think DL's domestic 767's had a meaningfully different passenger number than the A321. Domestic 763s held 260ish, if I remember correctly, so quite a big difference in c...

Re: Delta Air Lines Network - 2023

AA has flown LAXDEN without interruption going back decades. LAX-DEN is a very important route for LA based travelers. DL is taking it seriously, and has 3 daily mainline planes on it. AA on the other hand, even though they fly it a few times a day, they aren't really seriously competing on the rou...

Re: Why no DL on LAX-ORD?

I'm not sure you understood my question. My point is of all of those 13 examples, only one of them has 2 other competitors with massive hubs on both ends (DEN). At a single gateway, yes... but that ignores the likes of DFW/DAL, where DL flies to both airports, and both are home to large competitor ...

Re: American Airlines Network - 2023

So do you see no growth opportunity at LAX for either AA or UA? Do you think DL is just going to keep growing at LAX, while AA/UA remain stagnant? There are some destinations that AA serves nonstop from LAX that aren't currently served nonstop out of LAX on DL such as CLT, ORD, ELP, XNA, OKC, OMA, ...

Re: Delta Air Lines Network - 2023

I guess DL should just close up shop because they don’t have hubs in desirable cities. The response above from SurfandSnow sums up well why Utah isn’t that great for visitors. I think there are similarities (not necessarily religion like Salt Lake, but maybe more political/economic reasons) that al...

Re: American Airlines Network - 2023

Doubt we see DFW-ZRH. Pretty sure PHL will serve ZRH sufficiently for a while. The most logical TATL add from either CLT or DFW may be DFW-ATH at this point. Though AA is trying to avoid the strictly leisure routes so doubt they add it for a while, but it would almost certainly print $$$ for them. ...

Re: American Airlines Network - 2023

LAX Terminal 4 construction probably plays a role as well. It’s super cramped everywhere and didn’t make sense to funnel low yield connections thru there. Focus on O&D $$$. I think the construction is just a convenient / coincidental reason. If LAX was a strong performing station, they would fi...

Are there any insights on how the AUS expansion is performing? Is the AUS experiment profitable and could it be started elsewhere? Can’t post the data here but AUS is a bloodbath.

Re: Unconfirmed DL buying parked AA A330s

This is clearly not happening and based upon a random update that absolutely anyone on Wikipedia could make. Shame on the author to even repeat. I should go on there and post that DL is bringing back the 747 so that we can have a thread on here about it.
