🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Alaska Airlines to acquire Hawaiian Airlines for $1.9 billion, which includes $0.9 billion of Hawaiian Airlines net debt. The combined organization will be based in Seattle under the leadership of Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci. The transaction agreement has been approved by both boards, but the acquisition is conditioned on required regulatory approvals, approval by Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. shareholders. It is expected to close in 12-18 months. It's interesting that this acquisition is expected to go forward, even though it looks pretty similar to the JetBlue - Spirit Airlines merger that is still awaiting final arguments in it's case with the DOJ. Will this business deal face similar opposition by antitrust hawks?

This is quite interesting indeed. Alaska Airlines to merge with Hawaiian Airlines (essentially Alaska buying Hawaiian for 1.9 bn USD) resulting in creating USA’s 5th biggest airline. It seems that the new Company is planning to keep being #oneworld member which then means that a very close co-operation with American Airlines may also be expected, as it is already the case between AA and AS. oneworld Alliance will expand its carriers’ market share in the lucrative #transpacific market where American has been traditionally the weakest of the US Big 3. It is really exciting to see where it leads to in the end! #avgeek #aviation

A really interesting post from The Wall Street Journal looking at the different business model and challenges for low cost long haul airlines, particularly Norse Atlantic Airways One thing they didn’t mention is the crew and staff who joined up very aware of the different challenges this entails and who are very committed to helping it succeed. Sounds naive, but actually with crew actively looking to contribute in more ways than their basic role it can potentially reduce other internal costs. This support can lead to innovative ways to manage things like fuel costs, and it also means a level of flexibility which other carriers might not receive from their employees in supporting the operation. For passengers, it means both more options but also gives them more control over prices if they chose to support the ones that are looking to keep them low. Time will tell and definitely a challenge, but hoping it can be a success! https://lnkd.in/eteD7PrV #aviationnews #aviationindustry #flightoperations

The SYD-MEL flying route is the most lucrative in the world. Anyone surprised? I've had stints of regular work travel between SYD-MEL, SIN-SYD, LAX-SYD and LAX-JFK/EWR/LGA and this graphic looks about right. The fact that SYD-MEL route generates more revenue than any other route shows how much pricing power Australian domestic airlines have. I'm guessing Qantas has top market share.

Qantas has one of the most interesting international networks, but this chart intentionally missed an international destination. What is it? This week's newsletter looks at the Qantas international network from the Australian perspective. The Spirit of Australia has long tested the range capabilities of long-haul aircraft. The lone operator of the 747-400ER, Qantas extended its reach into North America, but it wasn’t until the arrival of the 787-9 that Qantas could hit the holy grail - London. Traditionally served through one-stop destinations (including a one-stop through Singapore that still operates today), Qantas utilized the 787-9 to offer Australia’s first nonstop service to London - from Perth. Recently, Qantas has announced they will also add service to Rome and Paris with the aircraft, tripling the number of European destinations offered non-stop from Australia. Also, as a shout-out to our Australian readers, we offer a unique Aussie perspective of the chart. We offer fake internet points to the first person identifying the missing international origin and destination. Bonus points for finding the unfortunate auto-correct in our analysis that breaks the mother of all Australian Av-geek rules. We noticed it too late.
