Some AA cutbacks for the summer... The competitive response to F9 entering PIT-PHL has been reduced. Now showing 6x daily heading in to the summer as before, but now two of the A319s are reduced to RJs. Later in the summer the frequency is reduced to 5x daily, albiet all A319s for now. PIT-DFW is r...
Jump to postDelta appears to have changed their SLC service around some; they had originally moved from a 737 once daily to a 321 twice daily, but looks like starting in September, second week, they will remain at 2x daily, but move to the A220-300. Unless I missed another airline (don't think so as Air Canada...
Jump to postWN adding DEN-MBJ/NAS/SJU nonstop service are possibilities as (a) the addition of WN DEN-MBJ/NAS/SJU nonstop service would allow WN to better compete against UA/F9 in the DEN market and (b) the addition of WN DEN-MBJ/NAS/SJU nonstop service would provide better connectivity to the Caribbean from c...
Jump to postI would concur with the above in hopes PIT doesn't demolish the ends of A/B. Better to keep the extra gates even if they won't be utilized in the near future. You just never know in this industry... It's been fun making my regular trips up to the burgh and seeing the great progress on all the constr...
Jump to postOnce the 4th runway is done, which runways will primarily be takeoff and which will be primarily landing runways? Though a bigger project, I'd think a much more impactful 4th runway would be the option of one on the east side. Having 3 runways on one side and 1 on the other side seems like a very u...
Jump to postAnother new NK route launching.
CLT-BOS (8/9)
MIA is also upgrading to an A321. The adds just keep coming!
The airport still hasn’t submitted an official plan for final approval before construction start. RDU recently got theirs submitted and upon approval, plan to begin later this year. Have not seen anything regarding CLT being anywhere near that stage. Correct. And CLT probably has less need a fourth...
Jump to postI noticed today’s AA flight from SRQ AA656 is arriving at gate A28 in the new A north gates. When did AA start flights over there or is this a one off? AA utilizes A North on a daily basis. All 9 gates on A North are preferential gates for other carriers. However, due to common use equipment on all...
Jump to postI could see AA operating RDU-MAD seasonally if they wanted to make RDU a focus city & kick DL off their CDG route. LHR is good for local traffic and some connecting. The DL CDG router is some local and conx traffic. Not sure RDU could support two tertiary routes. Also consider that they could d...
Jump to postEaglerare wrote:You RDU’ers see CLT now has 3 daily AA flights to London beginning in April? They’ve had twice daily for a while now.
In regards to DL: I think we’ll start to see growth when they move into A North Phase 2. As it stands today, their gates are very underutilized. 28 flights today across 7 gates. If DL adds anything out west, I think CLT-SEA would be a logical addition here. Other than that, just some up-gauging and ...
Jump to postAA update on what US cities they plan to use the A321xlrs https://simpleflying.com/american-airlines-transatlantic-airbus-a321xlr/ I wouldn't go by what Simple Flying reports. It's often inaccurate, not credible, and almost never well written. The A321XLRs will most likely operate form PHL, JFK, an...
Jump to postIt was an utter failure. Loads were good, but US added a CLT-FLL flight that departed at the exact same time and matched B6's fares. The flight lasted think ~2 years. I cannot see it being successful this time around. WN and FL have also tried CLT-Florida and neither could make it work. I don’t qui...
Jump to postAA is back to pre-COVID frequencies on a majority of their routes from DFW for March, similar story for CLT but slightly less for most routes. Coastal hubs (except MIA) are still significantly down. Any idea how many flights will be out of both DFW and CLT for March? Maybe DFW will come out of this...
Jump to postWith the ELH flight up and running again, it requires the PSA flight to park on D when it arrives in Charlotte. As mentioned above, work was being done around gates E17 which required them to use some D gates.
Jump to postI’m so glad to see this route back after it’s decade long absence.
Hopefully it does well enough to be sustainable in some capacity.
Not totally related but I hope WN adds CLT-ATL. Purely to add better connectivity to Florida.

Jump to postThe return of CLT-JFK on B6 seems like a lock imo!

Jump to postHow is this crazy, it's been a 777-200 route Were you not at all surprised that RDU would see the 773 before CLT, PHL, or even BOS? I was. 30-plus seat capacity upgrade plus the addition of First Class on any route these days is a surprise. I get it, retiring the A330 means that AA has to do some f...

A332s in long term storage until 2022 at the earliest if they do return.. We don't know enough yet to infer that reliably. Is PHL going to be seeing 787s and 777s now? IF the 332s get retired, PHL TATL routes will see 777s, 787s, A321XLRs, or route terminations. IMHO, 2021 is going to have a lot of...
Jump to postFLL: DL and NK are currently the only carriers operating this route, and WN will join the party this January WN has flown MSP-FLL in the past. It's a winter seasonal Saturday flight that primarily caters to cruise traffic. Fares are usually pretty good on it though. Last year I flew that r/t to go ...
Jump to post4 new gates for AA - A2, A4, A6 and A8 opened today, announced on CLTs twitter and Facebook page. Also, the new E/D food court opens Friday. I thought AA was also getting 3 more gates on A for a total of 7 so maybe those are opening later Nope, it appears Delta is using the remaining A gates. Conco...
Jump to postStill waiting for CLT-ICT. Wow.
Jump to postI don't really understand B6's existence in CLT. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them drop CLT service period. CLT-JFK is profitable for B6, but the slots used for CLT-JFK would simply be more profitable utilized on another flight. I wouldn't be surprised to see B6 slowly shift away from sh...
Jump to postIn addition, NK adding LAS-CLT, LAS-PHX, and LAS-RDU nonstop service will probably happen as CLT, PHX, and RDU are three of the largest markets currently served by NK that don't currently have nonstop service to LAS on NK. Are you thinking that capacity by competitors is irrelevant? PHX-LAS sees 5x...

Wasn't there some TWA contract that isn't allowing them to return? Though the bindings is a big rumor for leaving the TLV market, AA stated that it was too expensive of a route. They claimed that at any given time they needed to aircraft on the route, and they could better utilize equipment in othe...
Jump to postLets just call a spade for what it is. AA is trolling B6 as usual, they did the same in CLT with NK. They have the money to waste for now but when the fuel goes up they’ll be crying... NK adding CLT is a way bigger threat than this add by B6 imo. Especially with how much AA has been downsizing in J...
Jump to postSolid numbers from CLT, as per usual. I expect the numbers flights to grow into the 720s by summer 2020. AA will be getting 7 additional gates in early 2020 to help this cause.
Thanks for putting this together.
#1 5/23 has been used as a taxiway for quite awhile now. It went out of commission earlier this year for Departures/arrivals. It has since been reopened for such operation not to long ago. CLT only lands and takes planes off runway 5/23 during the noise abatement hours. #2 AA has a daily 10-1045pm b...

Jump to postI would not be shocked to see a summer seasonal CLT-AMS added sooner rather than later imo. Obviously, S19 is out the question but maybe S20/S21 could see it.
