Re: Minneapolis Aviation Thread - 2019
If Delta wants to serve MSP-PVG, there are enough frequencies available for three daily flights. And if Delta wants them, they’ll have to file with DOT. The further we get into fall, the less likely I consider it flight starting until the Trump trade war is resolved.

I couldn’t get the correct link since it directs to the previous link but I took a screen shot of it. I found that article in the stock market section with Delta

I wonder why they don't do Portland Maine, Providence, Burlington, White Plains, Elmira, Harrisburg, Greenville, Greensboro, Birmingham, Sarasota and Myrtle Beach. They would do well on all of these routes. Why did Delta have to chose Detroit to fly to Worcester? I think Minneapolis would have been a better addition since there is plenty of more flying to the western part of the us.
DL offered PVD-MSP for several years. It would go away for a couple months the week after New Year. I beleive they used CR9s or 7s. One could reach many cities in the Northwest that would take two plane changes via DTW and passengers tolerated the fare premium over BOS to the North. Despite the population and business concentration in the Southern part of New England DL pulled MSP, part of an overall strategy of not diluting BOS.

Yes. The first link you posted. Someone else also called that out and I believe you have clarified where you saw the information.

That article link highlighted in red within the linked article is old news. Nothing new there that indicates DL is actively pursuing MSP to PVG service. I am doubtful anything will happen in 2020 given no announcement has been made as of today in October 2019.

I feel the longer they wait to announce the less likely it’ll happen. DL has mentioned expansions like this just to appease the fans.
Remind me to send a thank you note to Mr. Boeing.

They might be having trouble obtaining slot authorization to China since so many slots are available to US carriers to tier one cities

Looks like another positive month for passenger traffic and YTD is up too.

Interesting how Sun Country and Southwest are joined together in the "other" category.

Especially since they account for more passengers than American, United, Spirit, Condor, Air France, Jet Blue, and KLM which are listed on the Major Airline Stats page along with Delta. It is not even a T1 vs T2 issue since Jet Blue and Condor are with Southwest and Sun Country over at T2, but for some reason are included on the Major Airline Stats page.
Re: Minneapolis Aviation Thread - 2019
WN had said in yesterday's earnings call that it is planning on significantly expanding at HOU, and WN adding MSP-HOU nonstop service might happen with WN planning on significantly expanding at HOU.

On a side note I noticed that Air Canada has a very high number of Non-Rev pax compared to the others (percentage wise) with exception of Delta/Delta Connection.

Agree, but they've almost always been categorized this way. I don't have an answer for why, but it's been like this for several years.

Didn't happen this extension.
In fact, for MSP, only a 6th Denver flight and 3rd STL segment were added. Everything else remained the same vs. the prior extension for spring break, minus the seasonal Florida routes. For WN at MSP, they have done virtually the same thing year after year. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much.

Even though WN does have plans to significantly expand at HOU, I can understand WN not adding MSP-HOU nonstop service yet with WN still facing a plane shortage due to the 737 MAX grounding and with WN making other adds in today's schedule extension such as SAN-Hawaii, resumption of previously operated seasonal nonstop routes, and increased frequencies on some current WN nonstop routes.
Here are the load factors for SY MSP-HOU in 2006 and 2007:
2006 - 91.93%
2007 - 85.43%
Even though SY pulled out of HOU in 2007, SY was able to fill MSP-HOU nonstop flights back when SY served HOU.
WN can probably make MSP-HOU nonstop service work if SY was able to fill MSP-HOU nonstop flights since (a) WN would have some connecting traffic in addition to O&D on the MSP-HOU route if WN adds MSP-HOU nonstop service, (b) HOU is the 2nd largest WN focus city (after LAS) that WN doesn't currently serve nonstop from MSP, (c) WN has a FF base in Greater Houston to support MSP-HOU nonstop service, and (d) HOU is closer than IAH is to Downtown Houston and most of the tourist attractions in Greater Houston.

Re: Minneapolis Aviation Thread - 2019
The HND and ICN flights must be successful for DL to pursue PVG flights from MSP.

Canada, eh? I wonder where SY is going to take this? YVR flights are WAY over-priced on DL, so hopefully this will bring those fares down!
Re: Minneapolis Aviation Thread - 2019
It's an opportunistic play for Alaska cruise traffic - and nothing wrong with that. MSP travelers should welcome the price competition. Just watch the checked bag and overhead bag fees.

Yep. Now they fly to both traditional ends of the cruises, YVR and ANC.

6 of 7 weekly Icelandair flights scheduled with the 763 instead of 752.

Last summer they used a 767 daily. I had family fly in from Norway. They said the service was very good.
