Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

Thanks for your very informative post.

757 to LAX is extremely unlikely at this stage. LAX no longer sees the 757/763/S80 anymore and no longer has B-checks for those types. As it is with the fleet drawdown and cabin improvement project underway the fleet has very little slack.

LHR is equally unlike and is well served by BA under the JBV.

Another big Delta Expansion at Logan

As many have predicted - adding Buffalo 2-3 daily Regional Jets
Adding Austin
Doubling Nashville
Going to 3 daily Los Angeles in December
Resuming Norfolk VA, Jacksonville, and Kansas City
Offer daily service from 12/21-1/5 for Montego Bay, Punta Cana, and Nassau 12/25 is not served for the first two Caribbean markets listed.

Many of the new adds do not fly Saturday (i.e this for business markets)
 
Delta is making a sizable expansion from Boston. Austin, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Kansas City and Norfolk all will be added. They're also increasing Nashville, Los Angeles and Orlando.

Nothing about a Delta BOS-DCA shuttle? There were rumors the past few weeks...

Could this expansion from Boston be Delta way of flexing it's muscle with Jet Blue since Jet Blue is serving the BOS/ATL market and expects to add new routes from Atlanta in the near future?

Doubt it - Delta wants to grow Boston. This is somewhat similar to what they have been doing out in Seattle for the last 3-4 years. Delta easily has nicer facilities in Boston than JetBlue does too. Actually, come late 2018 America, Delta and United will all have nicer facilities in Boston than JetBlue does.

Usually a legacy would add frequencies and capacity while cutting prices to put heavy pressure on a new entrant.

If anything, there's more overlap with southwest routes than jetblue.
 
Huh, looks like their flying the inverse of JetBlue's BOS-AUS flights with eastbound in the morning and westbound in the evening.

Pretty remarkable that we will soon have 3 different airlines flying nonstop between BOS and AUS.

Official press release.

Also not reported earlier - Delta is committing a lot more to Florida. No more poking around with seasonal flights.

Boston-West Palm Beach/Ft.Myers to become daily and Boston-Fort Lauderdale to become twice daily in late December.

St. Thomas will also get the daily treatment for the Xmas Holidays. Also just saw that JetBlue is doing double daily during the holidays. I don't think Logan has ever had this much service to USVI.
 
With all the flight additions at Logan, are they picking their departure times wisely? Or are they playing the game that 25 flights can all depart at 5 PM (like the do at LGA), resulting in massive taxi waiting times (we are now number 22 for departure, yeah!)?

We will be DL's 9th largest station by early July with 93 peak day departures, 58 on Delta jets with the balance operated by DCI carriers (20x Republic, 11x Endeavor, 3x GoJet and one SkyWest departure).

In case anyone is interested, the SkyWest/OO departure is a turn from Nashville...

We both posted at same time but your link is better (more official etc.)

4 weekly in summer too - found another link. You need to translate it in chrome. http://www.check-in.dk/sas-indsaetter-a330-fly-paa-boston-rute/

Norwegian should just drop the weekly Copenhagen and make Oslo 3 weekly.

Dong energy headquarters just opened in Boston. We do quite a bit of business with the Danes and I'm sure that will only increase as massachusetts develops an offshore wind industry.
 
Anyone have recent international load factors by airline (or at least region)? I'm interested to see how the airlines- particularly the ME carriers- are doing under the new administration. I know Emirates has cut back to one daily (which I felt was plenty to begin with), but I flew to/from Africa on Turkish via IST in the last half of April and both the to/from legs were full (front and back) which was excellent. The FA said Boston is consistently full.
