Just remember, Hawaiians travel to. They love Orlando. That's the market here, not Orlando to Hawaii. Where do Hawaiians travel to ? Hawaii has very diverse demographics and hence diverse direct flights. However, they are just above average in terms of how many hold American Citizens hold passports...
Jump to postI don't think all that much will happen in 2021 - so I'll give my combined 2021/22 predictions: 1. Northeast predictions: EWR likely to keep getting routes that do well from JFK. I expect EWR-BNA/MSY/RDU/SAV to all be feasible domestic adds. More Caribbean and leisure is also likely. BOS and JFK wi...
Jump to postI've often wondered this myself. I live ~2 miles from an hotel that regularly has airline crews there (from just driving by and seeing them in the parking lot and by unknown social apps) and have wondered why they are ~20-30 minutes away from the local airport when there are multiple closer options...
Jump to postAfter reading the article on Iceland's Grapevine web site it certainly appears to be a joke or piece of performance art. They point out that the web site is registered to an artist and the woman who is planning to launch WOW as PLAY owns the intellectual property rights to WOW and stated that she lo...
Jump to postThis makes me so sad to hear. They were my first LCC that I flew in SE Asia from BKK-Udon Thani. That was a very popular route for people traveling on to VTE in Laos, as it could often be cheaper than VTE-BKK but they had more competition lately even before Covid. The LCC market is pretty overcrowde...
Jump to postIt likely had food and retail space when Westpac opened it. I'm sure its just a matter of finding the vendors to take the spaces which pretty much will be the upgrade, perhaps a few other things. I remember when JetBlue first started at JFK in the Terminal 6 space it had some pretty bare bones conce...
Jump to postI was browsing through Southwest's History section on their website, and what may be the highlight of my Saturday night, I found t his bit of info I thought I'd add in just for fun. May 22, 1985 Southwest announces nonstop service from HOU to Jackson Hole, Wyoming throughout the 1985-86 ski season f...
Jump to postI wonder if they fly to Tehran ever. lol
Sally Field would be proud.
Not without My ________
Yeah, with B6 pulling out and the Pandemic still in full effect in Southern CaliforniaLGB is going to be a shell of what it was 2-3 years ago. They may end up trying to recruit the likes of Frontier, Spirit and Sun Country to add flights. LGB could, in theory look ilke what it did before jetBlue arr...

Jump to postI do recall reading a while back that they were having such trouble starting up in Canada they were going to flip flop themselves. They want to operate an Allegiant model ULCC low frequency. In terms of 36th St. Airline, I'm thinking hat refers to some of the carriers based there for a blink and you...
Jump to postThere’s gotta be more to the story here That schedule is so weird. I wonder if this is a belly freighter operation. Also can I assume the CARES Act does not allow a start up carrier that wasn’t operating previously to get loan money? I figured it must be some sort of freight operation contract that...
Jump to postGood for B6 for trying to skirt the rather obnoxious requirements of government bailout money. As others have mentioned, AS did it as well. From a little digging I see that F9 is doing MCO-SRQ and probably more. NK has CLE-CMH, AVL-GSO, OAK-SMF, PIT-LBE, STT-STX, among others. If you're going to ha...
Jump to postI don't see these bookable either. It makes sense to have some stipulations, but the FAA made them somewhat vague and airlines are taking advantage to reduce flying as much as possible. EVERY carrier would just as soon close down because so few people are flying. Originally the FAA was using their F...
Jump to postThey are looking to avoid a stop in the U.S. since the U.S. is not accepting most Europeans. PPT is considered part of France. They will stop in YVR on the 14th before switching over to. The airline’s TN008/007 Papeete – Los Angeles – Paris CDG on 18MAR20/19MAR20 will be replaced by Papeete – Pointe...
Jump to postThey seem to be making a shift to a model more similar to the mainstream U.S. ULCC carriers. Allegiant is the only ULCC still with a large presence at secondary airports. Spirit, Frontierm, Sun Country and now Allegiant also see there is more growth opportunity competing directly against the majors,...

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Doesn't he realize he can...
Jump to postDoes anybody know who will operate their flights until the 25th? I was wondering the same thing. My first thought was if I could book a cheap ticket with them before the 26th until I saw that. Maybe Qatar? Plenty of Asian carriers like Cathay with spare planes at the moment if they need wet leases.
Jump to postWell the cost is already low. If parting is worth 19 millions, then the aircraft is basically worth 19 millions. 19 millions is what they sold as spare parts SO FAR. It’s not yet completed. The parts sales process expected to take two years. I am not saying they will reach the 70 millions target bu...
Jump to postDated Jan. 13. This article helps explain the issue more fully. Apparently they thought they had a Waiver until 2024, but didn't realize they would have to make a special request each DAY to operate flights with any of those planes. Apparently they found another supplier who could get them fixed by ...

The buses on their website look like the ultimate in luxury with an attendant on board They do a great job describing the experience, brea...
Jump to postIf these frames were headed for D checks in the near future, that helps Norwegian save money as well. They have pulled back quite a bit of flying even with the loss of the MAX planes.and the routes that ended with those.
Jump to postAirlines that stop flying.............for any reason.........often don't start flying again.
Jump to postthe ATR's would probably be the best fit for Bahama Air because of the number of smaller runways they have scattered about. I'm not sure how many 737 Combi's are available. I know Canadian North operates them, and I've seen several discussions about what they will do when they are out of life.
Jump to post27,000 now, but they expect the city to keep growing. There was a time were there was a serious housing crisis with workers staying in mobile trailers.

Jump to postXL Airways France is a scheduled carrier, not a charter. I was quite happy with them when I needed to return to the U.S. on short notice from Paris. They also have covered the French Caribbean from cities other than Paris. They recently switched from JFK to EWR. Reunion Island also will lose another...
Jump to postPretty simple. When BKK opened, DMK closed. Very soon however operational and safety problems, along with crowding and high cost for airlines created pressure to reopen DMK. Within 6 months DMK was reopened for domestic services. Eventually Thai government actually encouraged LCCs, domestic and cha...
Jump to postContractors operating ICE flights might pick a few up. That would be World Atlantic Airlines. I didn't realize they were up to 8 or 9 of this type now based out of Florida. btw, that sounds like a the name of an airline that would only appear on television. Their livery looks about right also. I be...
Jump to postHe will be missed by many. A great example of a pilot. For those not familiar with him, Look up United Airlines Crash from 1989. flight #232.
I know this crash changed a lot in the aviation industry including recommending that flight attendants not wear flammable Nylons.
Will Elite rebrand their Norhteast U.S. to Florida and Bahamas flights. They could add flights from any of those cities to their Sun destinations, even 1x or 2x weekly to rotate aircraft in.
Jump to postI can't believe how so many are bashing Tower for poor service. Do AA, UA, and DL offer good service today? you're kidding right? You must be young or something.

Jump to postI have found that the luggage beneath the seats in an exit row having to be in the overhead bin has changed its level of enforcement. It used to be always. Not it seems airline optional.
Jump to postSWF-EDI was to be dropped permnanently last March, it ended early when the MAX shut down hit. They are flying thin as it is with them idle and wet leasing all kinds of aircraft to cover all kinds of routes, so I wouldn't expect finalizations.
Jump to postLove seeing another US-PTP option open up. With DY gone, there are much fewer seats headed there. ATL on AF and MIA on AA. I didn't realize AF had cut PTP, or perhaps made it seasonal somehow. Otherwise they must have seen something in DY's FLL numbers that made them feel they could make this work ...
