Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

It has happened - real single aisle economics from the US to europe. I've been waiting for this for a long time. I'll be supporting these routes for sure.

Also worth noting that BDL is getting a flight to Scottland!

Overall this a fantastic day for flyers in NYC/Hartford/Boston/Providence. A less fantastic day for AA/DL/EI/UA

Yeah, they actually measure this stuff constantly. Including the shitting on them part.

That's my understanding. Monitoring social media mentions, for one. Measuring market share in both people and dollars is the other way of watching how the business and leisure travelers can make net movements toward or away them. They may not see the decision of an individual but they quickly see the movements of aggregated "people like you".

I've honestly been wondering why jetblue hasn't given them a JFK flight yet for all the connections.

I've noticed the avianca service was added onto the wiki page for BOG and I've been wondering if there was a press release for it in Spanish or something that made it "official" but the English language audience is sitting around confused about where this info is coming from.

The route makes sense to me. Colombia is a country that is improving and gaining affluence at an impressive pace, and not only are some areas considered tourist attractions, businesses such as GE have business ties there. Plus people with family ties, I can see a less than daily flight being successful. And with Colombia's upward trajectory I can see daily flights being viable in the near future.

This got me thinking, so I googled.

This is from a spanish language website back in January re: 14 routes that have been "Authorized" and Boston/Bogota is the first one they mention. http://www.elespectador.com/noticia...ereas-se-habilitaron-colombia-articulo-673021

A lot can be lost in Google translation, but this clearly states that Boston-Bogota has been authorized by the Columbian Civil Aeronautics agency. So it may be "officially authorized" but there could a lot more to do in terms of logistics and launching service.
 
Providence is getting 2x weekly service to Bergen Oslo through october. Right now they are having a sweet intro deal for $89 each way. Norwegian is sure changing PVD!

This is a redeye flight taking off at 8:50 pm and landing at 10:05 AM.

I am also skeptical about range without reduce payload on the return flight. interesting to see how the Max will handle it

SAS flies a 737-700 between CPH and BOS. The distance between Providence and Bergen is actually shorter. I'm guessing that they shouldn't have too much trouble.

That SAS flight is "reduced payload". However despite the airliners.net banter about whether this distance is too far, it seems to me the max8 will have just enough range to make it both east and west.

Air Canada to launch Boston-Vancouver for summer season: June 23rd to September 4.

Very interesting. With summer flights they are obviously angling for the leisure traveler. Is there that much demand for summer travel to Vancouver? Alaskan cruises? I would think there would be just as much demand in the winter when you combine the skiers heading to Whistler (and the other superb newer BC resorts that are gaining in popularity) and regular winter business travelers.

Might be an equipment availability reason? Air Canada runs a lot of winter seasonal flights to warm places, they have to do something with those aircraft in the summer.

It's also worth noting that with exchange rates as they are at the moment, flying to Canada is pretty cheap for Americans. I recently was doing a bit of a road trip in the region, it was significantly cheaper to fly into Vancouver and rent a car there than to start it in Seattle.

jetBlue held their session today at the JP Morgan Aviation and Transports conference in New York:

Webcast: https://jpmorgan.metameetings.net/events/aviation17/general_signin

Deck: http://blueir.investproductions.com...sportation-and-industrials-conference-pdf.pdf

Overall tone is positive, Mint has been a success and targeted growth at Logan will continue.

I'm cringing at their continued moves towards being like the big us3.


Also yay YVR finally. I think summer seasonal is because AC are not big risk takers and they want to see how it goes before committing.

I talked to an AC FA two weeks ago on a CPH-YYZ flight who said AC is close to making some big decisions on new routes and nixing old ones. We got on the topic because our a333 had over 100 empty seats (which is how I ended up in the bulkhead across from her) and she said the route had been trending that way for some time and she's expecting reduced frequencies soon. She said they're expecting delivery on a lot of new aircraft soon and routes will be changing quite a bit. I mean, take that with a grain of salt; but it was interesting. Hopefully it means markets like YVR, YWG, YYC and potentially others become potentially viable from BOS.
