@ByERussell Asked about the end of American and JetBlue’s Northeast Alliance, Delta’s Hauenstein said: “We compete well in New York … And we’re really confident that, as that evolves, we’ll be able to continue to win in New York.” $DAL.
@ByERussell No sign yet of a fall travel slowdown. Delta sees “strong demand,” both domestic and international, “as far as we can see,” President Glen Hauenstein says. $DAL.
@ByERussell Delta is bullish on fall travel with execs describing bookings as “encouraging.” One big unknown is what corporate travel could do, but Delta is hopeful of a significant bump up post-Labor Day.
@ByERussell .@Delta is expanding in Austin. Despite being well behind the market leaders, the airline is increasing daily departures by a quarter this summer and plans 2 new routes this fall.
@ByERussell Delta added 1 A330-900 to its orderbook, and exercised 12 A220 options in the second quarter. Nothing, though, on an expected new widebody order. $DAL.
