Southwest became the biggest U.S. airline by domestic passengers by doing things its own way. Trouble is, that’s no longer working so well—and now the airline's contemplating radical changes. 🔗: https://on.wsj.com/3LiunPl
Pretty sure if they bring back the honey peanuts and plastic boarding passes things would turn right back around.
It's really too late. Someone was asleep at the wheel. But better late than never I guess!
It was a tale of two markets for U.S. airlines during the quarter ending in June. Delta Air Lines kicks off the second quarter airline earning season on Thursday but it's quarter likely looked very different from the same period at Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines. From demand to seat capacity and costs it was a quarter of dualities. #airlines FlightGlobal https://lnkd.in/e4XiYJ2C
North American airlines enjoyed a banner year on transatlantic routes in 2023, but the threat of oversupply across the Atlantic could change the market’s dynamics in 2024. Revenue in Atlantic markets in 2023 is likely to increase significantly compared to 2019 and 2022, Cowen Inc. analyst Helane Becker concluded in a report released near the end of 2023. It remains to be seen if airlines will adjust their capacity deployment in the North Atlantic as traffic returns to more normal levels. But if the imbalance remains, revenues will diminish. #2024outlook #aviation #aircraftleasing #airtraffic #zeevopowered
Scope! The single most important aspect of an airline pilot's career. Make sure to lock it down in your contact! Tragically, the fight facing pilots at American is a race to the bottom in the ULCC market. I don't know how you can make that profitable at a company operating 787s and 777s. I wrote about this a while ago here: https://lnkd.in/ehKyXQW9 #scope #pilotmath #pilotmathtreasurebath #ULCC
American Airline Update: American Airlines' pilot union has expressed concerns over scope clauses, as the airline appears to be gearing up to take on Southwest and other LCCs in what's been described as an "America West 2.0" strategy. Details: https://lnkd.in/gZcpjKps

"If the wheels are in the air, they're making money. If the wheels of the plane are on the tarmac, they're losing money. Do whatever you need to do to have more percent of the day the wheels on the air. And by the way, the wheels of Southwest airline planes as an average are two hours more than the industry in the air." --- #EfficiencyInMotion #AirlineStrategy

Forecast: Turbulence As mentioned above, a record number of passengers are expected to pass through U.S. airports this week. So, you'd think that now is a great time to run an airline. That's not the case: Airlines are dealing with an extended bout of turbulence; things like increased costs for fuel, wages, and interest rates. Plus, problems at Boeing have also led to a shortage of planes for airlines to accommodate the growing number of passengers. While strong bookings can help somewhat, they cannot completely solve the financial strain that airlines are facing. Source: Market Briefs for 07/05/2024
