Summer 2007 timetable changes

You're right -- I can't wait to see President Rice's inaugural. 😉
Mark, traffic might be at record levels, but is it people escaping while they can, or people trying to get back in before the borders are closed down?...

Chavez assuming rule-by-decree has a lot of ramifications for business. One of our customers is based in Venezuela, and they're not even sure if they'll be allowed to pay their upcoming invoice or not. AA's already had problems in the recent past where they couldn't repatriate money for tickets bought in VEB's. If that happens again, all bets are off.

Travel between the US and Venezuela remains very healthy. I'll be going there on business in two weeks to Maracaibo. Yes, there is a large move of people that are escaping Venezuela and moving to the US, mainly Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, but the market is huge, always has been, always will be. Miami-Caracas is the second most traveled route between the US and Latin America, and that isn't changing despite the political turmoil going in the country. I understand the troubles facing the country now and in the next few years, but unless the US actually cuts off ties with Venezuela, traffic will remain stable.

Chances are that you'll get to enjoy about 3 TV channels dedicated to Chavez. 2 were endless loops of his propaganda garbage ala Kim Jong Il style, the 3rd was some red beret wearing version of Hannity/Limbaugh rambling on for hours in a call in talk show format.

Grab a beer and enjoy the show. The clueless here in the states don't really comprehend what a nutcase he may be.

Effective 10 April 2007:

[MiAAmi]

April 10th will see another CMH-STL nonstop for a total of 4 nonstops per day.

 

[BuffaloJoe]

Will MDT-DFW go M80? I hope so. I dread the flight cause the one after that is to NRT. Another long flight.

 

[AirLUVer]

AA announced upgrading ORD-FRA service to the 777 starting April 10th.

 

[FA Mikey]

American Eagle, will add nonstop service between XNA and MIA beginning April 10.

 

[MAH4546]

American Eagle, will add nonstop service between XNA and MIA beginning April 10.

Another Wal*Mart route. AA has a huge premium flyer base in Arkansas, and lots of merchant traffic from Latin America/the Caribbean. The yields will probably be excellent on this route.

Supposedly Miami-Austin launches mid-June, daily 738. Not confirmed yet.

 

[LGA Fleet Service]

Another Wal*Mart route. AA has a huge premium flyer base in Arkansas, and lots of merchant traffic from Latin America/the Caribbean. The yields will probably be excellent on this route.

Really? Huge premium flyer base? You'd never know it...LGA-XNA on Eagle, MIA-XNA on Eagle,XNA-LAX on Eagle

Lots of "Premium Traffic" and we stick them on lawn darts every chance we get?

Yes, lot's of premium traffic. Believe it or not, business travlers fly on ERJs.

Why on earth do you even think they fly LGA-XNA and LAX-XNA? For the large population base of Faytteville and tourism? I think not. It is flown thanks to a significant amount of premium traffic thanks to Wal*Mart. And that's why they will have mainline on XNA-ORD/DFW: lots of F demand.

Also, for some reason, CVG-LGA and ORD-SHV were uploaded and then removed from GDS. Maybe they were put in too early?

Also, Miami-Charlotte gets a 5th daily flight in April.

 

[MAH4546]

Also, looks like MQ will be doing their first intra-Florida route. They will replace one of the ATRs on MIA-JAX, which will become 3x ATR/1x ERD this spring.

 

[MiAAmi]

Also effective 10 APR

CMH - LGA reduced to 6 flights per day
CMH - BOS reduced to 2 flights per day

 

[MAH4546]

CVG-LGA, 10Apr07, 4x daily ER3/ERD (fourth frequency starts in May)
ORD-SHV, 10Apr07, 1x daily ER4

Also effective 10 APR

CMH - LGA reduced to 6 flights per day
CMH - BOS reduced to 2 flights per day

Helps exlplain where one of the slots for CVG-LGA is coming from. Two others come from RDU-LGA slots. I wonder where the fourth comes from?

 

[1 VF-1 2NV]

LAS

-loses DFW redeye
-loses 1 STL
-goes from half 757 and half MD-80's to only 4 757's and the rest 80's

Looks like the 757's will not be replaced with 80's after all :unsure: .

 

[MAH4546]

New Halifax-O'Hare weekend service starts 01May07. SaSu CR7.
