Jump to postAccording to the 9N website, quoting routes online, WS is to commence 1Xweekly YYCBZE Nov 3. That will be the longest scheduled flight serving Belize.
A check of OAG shows this

WS2216 YYC0915 – 1551BZE 73W 5
WS2217 BZE1645 – 2206YYC 73W 5
At what point does a European carrier do Managua. Apart from Belize (I don't know if MAD-SAP has ended its trial run yet), Nicaragua is the last country left in the isthmus without Euro service.

I highly doubt the govt of Panama is in the business of subsidizing foreign airlines.
I actually think all 4weekly AKL PTY on a 789 timed properly for connections would do very. CM would also probably welcome it.
Govt of panama would also likely bust out a rev guarantee checkbook to support the service.
Clearly the survey didn't include some airports like NBO.
Jump to postIf they have parked planes maybe EK should try to get PTY up and running a couple of times a week.
DXB-MEX in whatever form will do well. there should be enough demand from one of the largest cities in the world to one of the largest transit hubs in the world.
It is stil quite popular in the Caribbean and Latin america. 9N does PND-PLJ-DGA-TZA-CUK-SPR (and then CZH if you are lucky) for example with pax getting on and off at each segment.

"DL" returns to the ATL MID market. Maybe with AM metal they have better success this time. It's huge market but one that has proven tough for most Non Mexican carriers and a market that is used to driving to CUN and flying from there.

Sorry you can't turn 189 pasenger 737 in 25 minutes safely.[/quote]
Wrong. The ground handler at BZE got so good at turning aircraft quickly that Boeing once sent a team to watch them turn a full (in and out) TA 762 with cargo in 22 min. They used to do it regularly when TA flew 762s there.

WN clearly intends to go head to head with B6 and NK at FLL on the international ops.
