Tweet Picks:
@AvWeekScho ANA has revealed brand details about its proposed new subsidiary carrier… will be called AirJapan, operating 787s on medium- and long-haul routes. ANA says it won’t be LCC or FSC, so presumably the “value carrier” approach. Launch target is second half of FY2023.
@AvWeekScho Qantas hopes to finalize business case for Project Sunrise by mid-year, says CEO Joyce. If they do place the order for A350-1000s then, it could mean the flights start mid-2025 (two years later than the plan pre-COVID).
@AvWeekScho SIA reports net profit of S$85M for the December quarter – first quarterly profit since pandemic began. Passenger capacity reached 45% of pre-COVID levels by end of Dec, projected to reach 51% by March.
@ByERussell Alaska Airlines is the first U.S. carrier to moderate capacity as a result of the run up in fuel prices. However, the cuts are only slight and limited to Q1 — for now. $ALK.
@ByERussell “At high enough costs, jet fuel may force airlines to limit their future growth and capacity, resulting in higher load factors along with increased fare prices,” writes Cowen analyst Helane Becker.
