But wasn't that also after UA cut EWR flights and/or moved them to IAD? I don't hate EWR for eastbound Euro connections (I use IAH-EWR-NAP frequently for example) but as a POE (even with GS and GE) it is not my favourite. I use it for O&D sometimes and am fairly neutral in that aspect. they're ...

Jump to postI will try to keep politics out of this but if the Iraq and Israel conflict close multiple airspaces. It's going to be hard to see EK or TK start service anytime soon. Flights to India and Asia will become more expensive. It's going to be hard to see International growth to India and SE Asia. I'm no...
Jump to postI would be curious to see F9 go after a few markets to PHL that AA or Amtrak don't compete on and/or relatively don't compete on. I feel like that is their next step in growth at PHL My thought process was Omaha, Oklahoma City, and San Antonio (AA is 1x daily if not mistaken), and maybe even into t...

Just saw Ishrion tweet that LH filed S25 extensions and PHL is upped to daily vs 5x. Clearly this can change, but good to see mainline sticking at least. So this is talking about next year not this summer. I guess it's place holders for now. Hopefully it will hold that LH will be the mainline carri...

Jump to postLAX is right next to MCO at EWR and DC/ORD are right behind MCO in BOS. What I am saying is that MCO very far leads PHL (with ATL next with 150K pax less) while it doesn't dominate the other metros. I get what you're saying but PHL's top business travel markets are NYC/DC/BOS, Amtrak has nearly 100...
Jump to postI don't want to offend anyone here but yes while leakage (and AA neglect) are big reasons why PHL punches below its weight, there has to be some sort of other reason why O/D seems to be weaker. There's no "niche" for the business community here. Just look at the DOH flight. Only 7x weekly...

Jump to postHopefully yes. Two very different markets. BLQ's loads were terrible, though cargo supposedly performed fairly well.

Jump to postI wonder if AA will attempt to install the 29 seat pitch again once they receive the Max 10 to reach 200 seats or at least max the seat count of the A321NEO.

Jump to postYou're not wrong though - AA definitely knows that in-seat IFE matters. Which is why they haven't ripped it out of widebodies and why the A321XLR will come with in-seat IFE. Basically AA's management uses twisted logic in that domestic passengers all have their own devices. Well, don't internationa...
