@LondonAirTravel As expected, Flybe’s summer 2023 Heathrow slots have also reverted back to British Airways. These are expected to be advertised if someone wants to follow Virgin Little Red, Flybe 1.0 and Flybe 2.0 in using these remedy slots…
@martysg If Sacramento and ONT were on the East Coast, @AerLingus or @Icelandair would already be flying there.
@WandrMe AirAsiaX restarted KUL-PVG service this week, with an “encouraging passenger load” in to China and “almost 100% full with 373 guests” on the way out. Flights will operate 4x weekly.
@WandrMe Citing excessive capacity in the market, JetBlue has asked the DoT to allow it to suspend some frequencies on the FLL-HAV market. The carrier would drop 6x weekly total (Sun-Fri) but keep the other 2x daily running.
@WandrMe Dominican airline ARAJET wants to fly to the USA. The carrier applied “to commence scheduled service to the United States in Fall 2023 and intends to utilize Boeing 737-MAX aircraft configured with 185 seats.” SJU, MIA, NYC (EWR/SWF/JFK) are listed as potential destinations.
