Something New

[Crazy Daytripper]

So let get something new in here..... let talk about new routes.

I would like to see....

CLT-POP
CLT-PTY
CLT-EYW (Year Round)

PHL-EYW
PHL-YVR
PHL-YYR (never going to happn but wishfull thinkning)

PHX-FRA
PHX-LGW/LHR (if and when we merge with AA i dont think this will happen)
PHX-ITO
PHX-FAI

This is only a few of what i would like to see. What are your thoughts?

 

[AirbusA310]

CLT-FDF
CLT-GUA
CLT-CUR
CLT-CCS
CLT-BOG
CLT-LIM
CLT-OKC
CLT-TUL
CLT-tons of other cities

PHL-IST
but I'd be happy with a PVD-PHX flight....

 

[firedougparker]

Is this before or after CLT gets closed in favor of MIA after a merger with American?

 

[notquiteUS]

PHL-GVA
PHL-CAI
PHL-NCL
PHL-CPH

PHX-MSY
PHX-YUL
PHX-OKC
PHX-SJU
PHX-(enter unrealistic Asia city code here)

CLT-EZE
CLT-SCL
CLT-LIM
CLT-TGU

-_-

PHX-FRA
PHX-LGW/LHR (if and when we merge with AA i dont think this will happen)

Other way around. I think actually that FRA is unlikely in either scenario; even more so with a merger. LON is by far the largest long-haul market from PHX.

PHX-(enter unrealistic Asia city code here)

Hmm...

PHX-UUS

B)

So what new route is US planning? I know that they always want to get the employees really excited by announcing new frequencies in such cities, like CHS, TYS and TUS. Yeah Exciting isn't it.

But they do have them A332 coming in 2013, so having a plan for exciting international expansion would be great as well.

YYR? You do know that is Goose Bay? Not even Air Canada has mainline flights there.You are right; that will not happen --- unless for a possible TATL diversion.


Sure, it's fun to speculate/wish for new city pairs, but keep in mind that for the foreseeable future, any growth or new markets will be on the express side.

Ohhh so the 330s arriving in 2013 will be used on express routes... Thats some good news right there.

Now, don't be catty. Think how impressed the people in BHM will be when the 330 crosses the freeway just after takeoff--with it's load of 50, maybe 60 passengers.

LOL, reminds me of the 767 flights they did to GSP! Airplane designed to cross oceans and it went 15 minutes CLT to GSP

 

[SS255]

Anyone think Doug will make another attempt at PHL-PVG?

 

[strangiatotheme]

Anyone think Doug will make another attempt at PHL-PVG?

You mean PEK? There was no first attempt at Shanghai. To your question, no; considering how many vacant frequencies that currently exist between the US and China, there doesn't seem to be anyone really clamoring to start service there at the moment. And that doesn't exactly bode well for a route that, in better economic times, was expected to bleed money for a few years as US established its presence.

There are 5 new 332s coming in 2013. Supposedly, 2 will be put on the Rio route out of Charlotte, 1 will fly the Philly-Zurich service, and 1 will do the seasonal Philly-Athens runs. The fifth one? Who knows?

The 767s that will be freed up are supposedly slated to serve the transatlantic routes that should never have been served by the 757 in the first place. Probably Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, and ????.

The 757s thus freed up will probably spend their days going in and out of Orlando.

New cities for mainline? Can anyone remember how long it has been since that occurred?
