I think AA is going to take a run at MCI-BOS and MCI-JFK (they already have loaded MCI-LGA onto the autumn schedule) as part of their new code-sharing with JetBlue. They also recently announced a joint points promotion with JetBlue that makes additional Boston and New York service appear likely.

Can the airport give Iceland air more incentives? I know it’s usually a 2 year thing that they used up but how long a gap does they have to be until they give them again?

It was a mix of the incentives expiring and the 737max issue that cause them to leave, they were planning on using the 737 Max’s to service a lot of their smaller US destinations. It’s likely that it comes back when air travel returns to pre pandemic levels, think 2023-2024

Do wonder how much if any excess capacity exists at Icelandair now.

Baltimore was relaunched this week for summer 2022. We still have a few months for an announcement

Looks like southwest cut DCA and Myrtle Beach for September and October.

Added a Vegas frequency

All you need is a big box and a few bottles of water and maybe a bag of chips and all you’ll have to pay is shipping. Bathroom might be an issue though

That’s probably the best stats I’ve heard on air travel since the start of this big coof.

WN adding second daily Austin flight this fall

KC did not make the big Air Canada announcement today

Bit of a harsh response to a soccer game!

JetBlue opened their reservations for Kansas City.

Once daily to each of JFK and Boston starting March 27.

A220!

They have a severe lack of service to the center of the United States. I think they could be a likely candidate to expand network service through KCI once the new terminal is complete.

Nonstops by US-based airline, organized by airline size. Wouldn't take much for JetBlue to have a 2nd or 3rd place presence. Same with Allegiant, they have more flights to Wichita and Springfield than to KC

American: 10
Delta: 8
Southwest: 28
United: 6
Alaska: 2
JetBlue: 2
Spirit: 8
Frontier: 3
Allegiant: 4
Hawaiian
Sun Country

Does the JetBlue announcement mean that AA will drop the MCI-BOS service and/ or MCI-LGA service on the schedule this autumn? MCI-BOS is really the hole in the map, as UA will always offer nonstop service to Newark which is a $70 Uber ride into Manhattan and usually takes less than 45 minutes.
