@crankyflier The Cranky Weekly Review keeps us updated on the dynamic aviation industry. It's interesting to see how airlines like AA and Southwest are grappling with financial challenges
The Omaha Airport Authority is thankful there were no injuries at Eppley Airfield as a result of the storm. We are working with individual airport tenants and aircraft operators regarding their specific impact. Our focus will remain on safe and secure airport operations.
@jonostrower @BrianSumers @crankyflier Really starting to enjoy this podcast. Ya'll nerds are my people.
On this week’s episode of The Air Show, @BrianSumers, @crankyflier and I delve into the woes facing Pratt & Whitney’s geared turbofan engine. Consider this an explainer for the one two-punch to the world’s airlines. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
@lesliejosephs @jonostrower @crankyflier @BrianSumers Pratt and Whitney: Dependable Engines, 60 Years Ago
@crankyflier Listen in? ✅ As cool as @lesliejosephs?? Never!
It's not just Boeing causing aviation havoc. This is the best explanation of the Pratt & Whitney GTF engine mess that have hamstrung Spirit, JetBlue and others: From: @jonostrower @crankyflier @BrianSumers podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/air…
@FormerlyWTC @crankyflier As I said BGI goes both ways.As an islander I know what I am talking about Any given flight would have an even split of tourists and locals
@crankyflier All leisure. Just look at the seasonality of the flights from the US. They behave much differently than SDQ, STI and KIN which are definitely VFR
@crankyflier I have stayed in an all inclusive in POP and remember the feel at the airport both ways being predominantly leisure. It’s not PUJ….but it’s definitely not SDQ either. Same for BGI.
@crankyflier The late night red eyes other times of the year definitely speak to its VFR mix, reminds me of a IAH-BOI red eye on ExpressJet 😭😭
@crankyflier It might just be an aircraft utilization issue, especially as Barbados is one of the farther destinations in the Caribbean.
@crankyflier POP theoretically should be leisure but it hasn’t been from the US for decades. STT is a gateway to St John and even the BVI for leisure and MBJ is traditionally a volume leisure destination although from NYC and SoFla it’s also very VFR.
@crankyflier @mattcoglianese JFK may lean VFR and BOS may lean tourism for BGI.
@crankyflier amazing except losing Carlos gozen from Nissan
Extraordinary stat: In 30 years of operation, Kansai International Airport says it has never once lost a piece of luggage, despite handling around 10 million pieces a year. nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO…
@crankyflier @jetcitystar @erik_griswold @ByERussell @AirlineFlyer @WandrMe If you number it right the first time, you don't have an opportunity for the additional consultation fees when reconsidering a new numbering scheme in the future.
@crankyflier I flew TPAC a few times in ‘24, & something I noticed is that UA typically had: 1) Very high fares 2) Few saver award seats Even HND vs NRT, UA usually has a ~5% premium for the former. AA doesn’t. Could explain the 10% gap between the 2 Could all be anecdotal perhaps
