Re: Central American Aviation Thread - 2017

SJO getting like PTY....with BA, AF, IB, DE, KL.
I guess KL saw the SJO connecting numbers on CM and decided it was time

Re: British Airways Route Progress

I understand that LGW SJO was struggling out of the gate. I don't know if it has stabilized.

AF and IB do well so one would think BA should be able to make it work.....

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 66

WN started DEN BZE yesterday 11/3/17. Expands to 2Xweek for the summer. First flight arrived and departed packed to its gills.

Re: What's next for Denver Intl Airport

Well DEN BZE on WN starts today and judging (anecdotally) from trying to get seats on it and the quick increase in service levels, I suspect it is going to do very well.

First flight looks to be sold out in both directions.

Re: How's IAH-MAN-SIN (SQ 51/52) doing?

Hi A.Netters: Any idea how IAH-MAN-SIN (SQ 51/52) is doing? In the past, fares on IAH-SIN through DME used to be low, but I checked IAH-SIN now, through MAN, and the fares appear high than usual. Probably this route is doing better than through DME. I have been checking for late June/early July. Th...

Re: JetBlue downguages Cuba

Re: Over-The-Water. Jamaican Thread #58

Hummingbird. I love your last 77L shot. No one can ever argue against the beauty of a 777. And to think that fully loaded that aircraft can do ATL-JNB nonstop. A feat unthinkable even in the early days of the 744

Re: Central American aviation thread. Part 65

As part of the WN schedule extension last week looks like they dropped LAX LIR.
AS, DL will be happy about that. Just too much capacity in that market.

Re: CUN to SFO - Copa? CM382

I believe also that it was a fuel stop, from previous discussions on this and other site, SFO is one of the most difficult flights for CM regarding fuel. CUN has about 5 daily flights from CM so it makes sense to stop there, although PHX is almost directly on the path to SFO. CM if you are reading,...

It does seem excessive for an airport that has a pretty limited number of international flights. The again if oil starts going up again, it might be used a little more.

19 seaters? Oher than 9K I'm not familiar with those codes you used, But I do think that the P2012 can work for at least 80% of scheduled 9 or 19 seater operations in North America for a fraction of the cost. Maintenance on the two mogas engines will just be way less than the single turbine on the ...

Re: Planes currently being manufactured in the 20-40 seat range

If the TECNAM P2012 is successful I think that you'd actually see a lot of short non-major-affiliated regional flights go to frequent P2012 service rather than larger props since it will be able to be operated under Part 135 and should have CASM similar to or below that of a 30-seater with much les...

Re: Planes currently being manufactured in the 20-40 seat range
