Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell Delta focused on strengthening its position in its coastal hubs (Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle) in 2022, and will shift to rebuilding its core Atlanta, Detroit, and Minneapolis-St. Paul hubs in 2023, Hauenstein says. $DAL.
@ByERussell Mention of Delta’s focus cities — Cincinnati, Austin, and Raleigh-Durham — has been notably absent during this investor day. $DAL
@ByERussell The regional jet pilot shortage will be with us through this entire year,” Delta President Hauenstein says of 2023. Delta expects the situation to begin easing in 2024. $DAL.
@ByERussell “We will be out of the 50-seat business” by summer, Delta’s Hauenstein says. Wow — the airline that pioneered the 50-seat regional jet in the 1990s will fully exit them in 2022.#avgeek
@ByERussell Why Delta CEO Bastian is so confident that travel is countercyclical: Air travel is historically 1.3% of GDP. The pandemic broke this and created a “massive gap,” that is still off by about $30bn in 2022.
