Tweet Picks:
@airlinewriter Traffic: @SouthwestAir has topped 100 million revenue passengers in 2018, ahead of last year’s pace. WN first exceeded 100 million in 2011, the year it bought AirTran.
@BrianSumers Should @wow_air and @Icelandair merge? Both are hurting. “It’s an obvious question,” Wow Air’s CEO told me. “Clearly we could rationalize the network and leverage the situation a lot better — a no-brainer. Will it ever happen? I am not sure.”
@CAPA_Aviation “I like to call Air Canada Rouge the defibrillator for Air Canada. Without us the mainline operation may not be here today,” says Duncan Bureau, president of @AirCanadaRouge. #CAPASummit.
@juliejohnsson Neeleman sees an untapped niche for ultra-low-cost, but not austere travel in the US. He’s studying 800 potential city pairs. May use the @Airbus A220’s long legs for int’l. #scoop #airline #notMoxy.
@RWMann The biggest bottom line margins have always been in properly merchandising the low marginal cost Y/F, Y/C and C/F cabin “edge cases”, especially true now that many present Y cabin designs are unusable for intended purpose by business travelers. #PaxEx #Premium.
