@e_russell American CFO Kerr adds that cutting unprofitable routes – like ORD-PEK – is “probably easier to make in this fuel environment, there’s no doubt about it”.
@e_russell “The bigger those hubs are, the better off we are from a connecting standpoint basis,” says $AAL CFO Kerr on new gates at CLT, ORD and DFW.
@e_russell “We’re always going to tweak our flying and making sure where our flying is is where we’re profitable,” says American CFO Kerr on recent intl network changes.
@e_russell “We still have a few months to watch the environment and see how it looks, see what happens to oil prices before we have to make those [capacity] decisions,” says $DAL CFO Jacobson on fuel and capacity.
@TheAviationBeat Emirates parking planes in the desert. Etihad canceling dozens of aircraft. Qatar shifting aircraft to Air Italy and British Airways. Nobody saw the extra capacity in Gulf coming. #JustKidding.
