@ByERussell Breeze Airways’ plan for success on overlooked routes with little competition? Trip costs, says Neeleman. “We experienced the power of trip costs in Brazil, as we built out a network of 118 cities [at Azul] and it really works.”
@ByERussell “If there’s only demand on a market for 110 or 120 seats, and we’re both filling up to that level, then we can make a 25% margin where somebody else would break even or lose money.”Q&A with David Neeleman on his new venture Breeze.
@ByERussell .@NorfolkAirport has never been a central airport on airlines’ map, but startup Breeze Airways sees an opportunity for a base, along with Charleston, New Orleans and Tampa.
@ByERussell “In a couple of years, all those people who said business travel is dead, they’re all dopes,” said Expedia Group Chairman Barry Diller. He expects an “explosion” of travel coming out of the pandemic, writes @CameronSperance.
@ByERussell With Spain’s decision to reopen to vaccinated travellers, United confirms plans to resume Newark-Barcelona and Newark-Madrid flights in July.
