Worth noting the concentration of L10s at SJU. Truly "El Grandote", Puerto Rico's airplane.
Jump to postIt seems in the US it is common for airlines to have sole use of a gate and only use those gates while in Europe and elsewhere the gate is assigned later to which aircraft needs it. So it could be a BA flight, followed by SAS and then Easyjet for example. Why is it like this in the US? Are there an...
Jump to postSince QR is state-owned, I imagine the laws extend to the airline itself, so free speech is not an absolute. Maybe someone can clarify how those rules work when traversing international borders.
Remember the times when taking pictures or filming was fully verboten?
Thanks for the TR with the BOS Terminal E extension.

Jump to postDelta adding SEA-TPE on an A330-900 daily starting 6/8/24. About frigging time we see DL actually utilizing SEA as its intended purpose.

According to a post today on Facebook from the Tampa Bay EDC, Virgin's TPA-LHR has already reached profitability. Unclear if that is factoring in the current incentives on it or not though. Huge news! Maybe it’ll push Delta and friends to bring back AMS… AMS will be tough to return. Even though the...
Jump to postI've flown through both TPA and MCO during the winter. Not once have I seen de-icing trucks. Not that I'm trying to doubt the users on this thread, but I'd be interested in the logistics on how this is managed.

Jump to postWhy doesn’t DL fly LAXORD? Simple answer would be that of the Big Three (American, United, and Delta), Delta's the only one not to have an ORD hub (Concourse L in Terminal 3 used to be their ORD hub for a time in the 1980s and 1990s, but they closed it because it was too costly to operate and they ...

Fascinating. I'm rooting for the DL hub in Boston. Hoping they continue to expand and improve connectivity. I see TPA is going 3 daily next summer and MCO 4 daily. I don't see any other frequency increases.

I was just pointing out the size of a city or country doesn't have to relate to the size of the airport. The Atlanta metropolitan area is not the reason for the busy airport. Amsterdam, which also has a metropolitan area, used to be the 9th busiest airport in the world. Understood. In that sense, C...

The only physical parity is the runway count. Otherwise, PHX will trump TUS on efficiency and throughput with having dual-ops landing capabili...

Jump to postI agree that BWI’s issue is that they mostly serve low cost carriers, but I think the problem is (hypothetically) what if one day Southwest Airlines goes bankrupt and out of business?
