@AirlineGeeks After its five-year absence at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, United Airlines has plans to resume flights from what is one of the busiest airports in the U.S. Flights could begin as early as the beginning of 2021.
@BernieBaldwin LCCs have advantage over FSCs because of latter needing corporate travel & long-haul ops. LCCs also benefit where there is a strong domestic market like Turkey. Pegasus almost back to 100% capacity within Turkey, says @flymepegasus COO Guliz Ozturk at #AviationFest.
@BernieBaldwin “@wizzair hungary took 15 years to get to 100 aircraft and I believe Wizz Air Abu Dhabi can do the same,” remarks CEO Varadi about the upcoming operation in the Middle East. #AviationFest.
@BernieBaldwin “787 product had just been rolled out [when pandemic hit] and were getting great response in UK, France and Spain,” @WestJet COO Jeff Martin reports to #AviationFest. “Meanwhile, still seeing strong demand from Mexico. Now publishing a flight schedule every month.”
@marklenahan Frank/Etihad – As passengers come back we want to expand to rest of travel ecosystem – transport, activities, hotels, etc. After the pandemic being able to offer choice and flexibility and expand the play beyond flight would be opportunity for airlines to tap into. #Aviationfest.
