Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

[mass88]

Hainan is changing the routing of its service from Beijing - Capital. Previously, flights would run Beijing - Boston - Seattle - Beijing. Now they will operate Beijing - Boston - Brussels - Beijing. Service will continue to run 3 times per week for NW 2024/25 using Boeing 787-9 equipment. Brussels will be a tech stop.

Pretty cool in that this will be round-the-world routing.

I pulled the load factors for July from the T-100 data for some of the routes from Logan.
JetBlue is really not doing well.

Underlying data is here

JetBlue is really not doing well.

Their LHR flights (89.1%) are doing better than AA, BA and VS on that same route (only Delta is higher). But yes, LGW, AMS and CDG are not doing great.

Why is this necessary? Hainan was running both directions nonstop prior to Covid, using I believe the same equipment..

Russian airspace restrictions due to the Ukraine war? No polar flyovers for flights to/from the US means a much longer flight route..

Noted yesterday coming out of Terminal E that signs were flagging Etihad moving to Terminal C later this month. I know it's not that long of a walk, but I'm curious how the airline feels since it's a bit of a hike from the Air France lounge to the widebody-capable gates at Terminal C. Not that Massport cares lol, but I'm sure Etihad leadership will be happy to see newer, nicer lounges coming to Terminal C in a few years!

Also, after walking from E15 to customs, I'm really curious how moving walkways are going to fit in the new corridors -- It's already quite a bit of a tight squeeze. I did, however, notice the improvements underway at the older portion of Terminal E, including upgraded check-in desks to mimic what the new Delta ones look like closer to the new security lanes at Terminal E. All in all: Nice to see the flurry of activity at Logan! The new baggage carousels at Terminal E can't come soon enough -- was packed yesterday afternoon, and it's not even summer!

But Hainan is a Chinese carrier, they don't have the same Russian airspace restrictions as US/EU carriers.

Are there moving walkways planned in the near term or is that in a future phase of the expansion. I did the E15 to customs walk a few weeks ago and it is extremely long.
