@ByERussell Bill Franke’s vision of a broad a deep ULCC sector in the U.S. would come true if his Frontier-Spirit merger is approved. “He plays chess, not checkers, and he plays a really long game.”
@ByERussell “Frankly Southwest has squandered the opportunity that AirTran gave them to start with a sizable presence in the market and grow,” says @hharteveldt. Southwest’s share in Atlanta fell below 10% in 2021, from nearly 15% a decade ago.
@ByERussell Norse hopes to receive its UK AOC “in a few months time,” flights could begin a few months later, says Larsen when asked when US-UK flights could begin.
@ByERussell Norse Atlantic CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen insists that the start-up is not Norwegian Air 2.0, but Norse increasingly resembles the discounter with plans for UK-U.S. flights.
@ByERussell On the proposed Frontier-Spirit merger, Sun Country CEO Jude Bricker took a pro-consolidation stance Tuesday: “I think it’s a net positive.” ICYMI.
