Exciting News for Edmonton’s Business Community! The introduction of a direct flight from Edmonton to Houston is a significant boost for our region’s business ecosystem. As a global hub for energy, innovation, and trade, Houston offers unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and expansion. This new route strengthens Edmonton’s position as a critical player in the global energy sector, making it easier for local businesses to connect with industry leaders, access key markets, and attend world-class conferences. It’s also a gateway for industries beyond energy, from technology to manufacturing, opening doors to new ventures and partnerships. At the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, we’re excited about what this connection means for our business community and the economic growth of our region.

Imagine paying full price for a first class ticket on United Airlines and getting booted to a middle seat in coach (with 4 other FC passengers) because the airline sent the wrong plane? No need to imagine! Come with me. United CEO Scott Kirby - in the words of the efficiency consultant from Office Space, “What would ya say you do here?” There’s a reason why I ALWAYS (and I mean always) fly Delta Air Lines. Lesson learned. #airlines #travel #flying #ceo

The record passenger growth at Washington Dulles has been fueled by United Airlines network growth. In fact for 2024, United Airlines has more new domestic routes at Washington Dulles than any other airport in the United States. This summer we celebrated the expansion of the United Airlines network at Washington Dulles with the resumption of services to four Pennsylvania markets - Harrisburg International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) , #StateCollegeRegionalAirport and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport. As Benjamin Sánchez describes, "United has built one of the best, easiest and most efficient connecting hubs in the United States" at Washington Dulles. Not only do these new flights help to feed United Airlines growing hub at Washington Dulles but they are also estimated to generate more than $38million annually in positive economic impact for our local community. We look forward to continued growth and success with our partners at United Airlines. #FlyIAD #DecadeOfDulles #YourJourneyBeginsWithUs Patrick Quayle Claire Bratzel Thomas M Reich

Now, with our new partners at Allegiant, that wish is coming true, opening new possibilities for adventure and connection for our community and the surrounding areas.”

THINKING BACK -- STARING AT 2025 Butter or no butter? 1. Two stories for the 1Q'2025 in my eyes are: 1) how much of #Spirit might emerge? If they do, will #Frontier be part of the story? and 2) given that the network airlines have placed a fair amount of 1q'25 capacity into Florida as have the ULCCs is it now GAME ON when the network airlines unleash #BasicEconomy on the #ULCC sector as never before? - I am going to pop some popcorn and watch. 2. #Breeze announced more nonstop service between PIT-LAX. Then #American announced a PIT-LAX nonstop too. The network airlines have too much invested in aircraft and product to stand back and watch revenue diminution at important spoke cities get service that overflies hubs. I guarantee there is more to come on this/others. - I am going to pop some popcorn and watch. 3. I have many reasons why I have been down on #Southwest. I put forth a number of them in a research piece on the airline. I will tip my hat to the execution the airline has made on its operational integrity. Better financial results do begin there. There is a first mover advantage in trying new and different competitive approaches. Whether the small jet advantage #Delta, Continental, #Alaska and America West had in deploying the small RJ as other competitors had significant scope clause constraints on deploying them - using large airplanes v. small airplanes - juniority benefits and maintenance honeymoons to name a few. Today's first movers - #Delta, #United, #Alaska. When is it too late to begin chasing first movers in a product battle? It strikes me that the battle will be AA v, WN to determine critical relevance in the domestic market space. There was never going to be room for 13 airlines to win their fair share of leisure traffic. Delta, United, and Alaska kept their powder dry and watched the other 11 add too much capacity targeted toward that customer. Now everyone wants to add something in the name of "premium" except for #Avelo, #SunCountry and #Allegiant. If there was no room for all 13 competing for a fair share of the leisure bucket, can there be enough "premium-oriented" customers for the 9 that will be searching for them? I think not. - I am going to pop some popcorn and watch. 4. Speaking of SY, I do not envy them at all. They were the first to get a pilot contract done. But it was done before the contracts with 40% raises in them. Now they are first up, and the benchmarks will be the big contract rates for narrowbodies. The continuation of pattern bargaining for equal pay rates to fly networks incapable of generating commensurate revenue. Point stupid. - I am going to pop some popcorn and watch. And do not forget that there is unfinished pilot contract business at Allegiant, and Frontier. But Frontier does not believe that cost convergence will hurt their competitive position anyway. They are pulling down before costs go up. There's more but I am out of characters, Happy 2025, #swelbar
