LAX is noticeably missing. https://www.financialexpress.com/business/airlines-aviation-air-india-plans-international-network-expansion-3453067/ As is AKL, which I believe is DEL's second biggest unserved destination after LAX by O&D. I think this is just because of the way the article is writte...
Jump to postUA will go double daily (from 10x w) on IAH-EZE effective 01DEC24 Just took UA from EZE this week. It's interesting that UA choose to go double daily on IAH-EZE. I get that NYC already has AA and DL at JFK, but would have thought EWR or even ORD so the East Coast flyers don't have to backtrack. The...
Jump to postPersonally, I think UA will launch LAX-SIN very soon. The new 789's that are incoming are of IGW standard so they could theoretically make the run to SIN even in strong headwinds. As for timings, I think UA will first try to compete against SQ35/37. SQ35/37 connect to the morning India/SE Asia fligh...
Jump to postGlad to see UA convert the seasonal 2nd daily SFO-ICN to a year round service. Especially since ICN is an outstation for UA with limited onward feed. Focusing on expanding SFO-ICN rather than opening a new route from another hub makes sense from a revenue optimization perspective since it can captu...
Jump to postAfter T2 CBP reopens, will DL's international flights depart AND arrive at T3? Right now DL 290 for example departs from T3 but DL 291 arrives at TBIT for FIS clearance. Seems inefficient to me because the aircraft will then have to be towed back to T3 for it's next departure. If the international ...
Jump to postI think there’s a better chance of AA considering a route from PHL, but that is probably wishful thinking as well. With Russian airspace closed, economics of Asian flights by U.S. airlines is more challenging. AA's 777's are capable of reaching HND nonstop from PHL, even via a slightly longer route...

So the 3 77Ws AI is leasing from SQ are super premium heavy for AI. Will they just be used on DEL-SFO or BLR/BOM-SFO? The SQ planes do sort of match AI’s 77L that I guess AI is retiring so from a seat pov, I guess the SQ planes are fine. My assumption is that the SQ 77W can do the range needed for ...
Jump to postLAX-HKG is strange. CX will eventually increases frequency on that route and it has AA in LAX to provide some connectivity. Once that happens, UA's 1 daily is going to be uncompetitive again. UA would be better off resuming ORD-HKG or EWR-HKG than going with LAX-HKG. It should be able to fly those ...
Jump to postExcellent adds. I’m honestly surprised MNL didn’t happen sooner. Glad to see them committed to LAX-NRT too. This isn’t even too long after announcing the New Zealand expansion.

Jump to postGreat news for UA! I do wonder though, isn’t the B77W a little to big to start SFO-MNL? Would it be better to test the waters with the B777-200ER or does it not have the range? Also, as others have mentioned, is SFO-MNL a heavy route or is comparable to LAX-MNL considering PR flies LAX - MNL v.v tw...

MSC South groundbreaking happened today. Looks like MSC South is a go now. C0/T9 hopefully coming soon.
Domestic fare is crazy expensive in Australia. In the US ORD-LAX J return costs around A$1500, and it’s a 4.5hrs flight. Almost everything is more expensive in the us right now but air ticket seems to be the only exception. Air tickets in the U.S. are obscene I'm telling you. I live here and I can ...

Jump to postI hear whispers of UA going for a Manchester return, daily 76W flights from EWR in NS24.. Y'all think this will happen? Makes sense as no US carrier serves MAN on their own metal.

Jump to postI've heard anecdotally from some engineers working with LAWA that LAWA is horrendously inefficient and difficult to work with. According to them, Terminal 9 definitely will not finish before 2028, and Concourse 0 will be borderline. The last big LAWA project, the West Gates went well over time and ...
Jump to postThere are still a lot of questions around T9.

Jump to postLAWA almost went broke building MSC, hence the reason they’ve also been very aggressive about forcing carriers into the terminal.

Jump to postLAWA is having a design event for T9 on Friday, April 14. If LAWA isn't committed, they won't do the event and even then, LAX is becoming severely constrained and airlines will definitely lobby LAX to build a new terminal or risk leaving the airport. Besides, LAX T9 is going to be a common use facil...
Jump to postT0 will result in a net increase of 9 new gates, plus 2 parking positions. That will cost $2.1 Billion. That amount does not include all financing costs. LAWA has a strange sense of humor. Given these numbers, what tenant(s) would be stupid enough to commit to finance the construction of T9? The T9...
Jump to postThe reason why SQ flew SIN-HKG-SFO was largely due to the fact they didn't serve SIN-SFO nonstop back in the day. The same thing was with the former SIN-ICN-SFO route. SQ did not have the proper aircraft to serve SIN-SFO nonstop before they got the A350. So SQ had no choice but to operate to SFO wi...

Jump to postSEA-SIN is a much smaller market than LAX-SIN. LAX-SIN has 10x weekly off peak and 14x weekly flights nonstop along with the 7x weekly LAX-NRT-SIN flight. If anything, LAX-SIN has the bigger potential as AA also has feeder connections at LAX along with AS.

Jump to postUA doesn't have any gates of AA's at ORD. It was a Smisek deal, but just leased for cash, as he saw the competition at LAX growing and turned tail and ran. Wow, I thought they got something other than just cash out of it. In my head, that move alone really relegated UA to second or third fiddle at ...
Jump to postUA isn't fronting the cost of T9 to maintain current flight levels. By their aggressive order book, it is pretty obvious that the status quo is going to be challenged and UA expects to be the leader. They can only lead to the extent they have the most gates when all is said and done. UA will not. A...
