@Airline_Weekly Amsterdam is @JetBlue ‘s 3rd European destination, and it’s going in saying it will disrupt yet another transatlantic market. But data suggests that little has changed on the transatlantic routes JetBlue already flies. That may be good for everyone.
@ByERussell Any data showing a slowdown in travel bookings is just noise, as @Delta executives see it. They say demand is strong, and have the numbers to back them up. $DAL.
@ByERussell Delta has said it would no longer fly single-class aircraft*, ie the CRJ200, by this summer. That’s due to the pilot shortage and the airline’s move towards more premium offerings. *Airlines like SkyWest can still fly CRJ200s under the Delta brand but at their own risk.
@ByERussell .@Delta ‘s Q1 fleet changes is out. It added 1 A220-300, 4 A321neos, and 1 A330-900. Notably though: Delta removed 15 of its last 26 CRJ200s with no increase in other RJ types. $DAL.
@ByERussell Flair’s fleet issues are affecting start-up Bonza, shared owner 777 Partners has diverted one of the Australian airline’s new 737 Maxes to the Canadian carrier to meet summer demand. @LucasBairdAus.
