Time to fly! ✈️

#bikedc ➡️ #avgeek
And an #avgeek good morning from @JetBlue!
Trains! 🚇
.@CapeAir #pride plane spotting!
My first flight on a @JetBlue Mint plane.*

(*not in Mint)
@JetBlue Enjoying the inflight snack bar onboard, but it would be better with cold brew, @AirlineFlyer.
3 cups of @jetblue coffee later and my verdict: it could be stronger. Espresso or Americano it is not.
Fin 🛬

A (new) @SFBART at the @flySFO station. It’s an airport connection that I, and many travelers, have taken for granted but was never a guarantee.

A brief BART to SFO 🧵 Image
The line opened in 2003 after decades of work and political compromises that resulted in it being built as a wye with the other end at Millbrae. This added operational complexities that continue to this day. Image
But let’s rewind. The first plans for BART did not include an airport station at all. In a 1957 report to the California legislature, the Rapid Transit Commission recommended a line passing the airport along what are today the Caltrain tracks. Image

"Total unit revenues are expected to be 7 to 8 points better than initially expected ... Driven by broad-based demand and pricing strength across consumer, business and international travel."

Strong guidance from @Delta today. $DAL
"The challenges we have now are in the other side of the house, the operations," Delta CEO Ed Bastian says at a Bernstein conference Wednesday.

Delta announced capacity cuts due to a variety of operational issues just before Memorial Day weekend: bit.ly/3lNavHq $DAL

.@United’s SVP of International Network Planning Patrick Quayle marking the launch of new service between @Dulles_Airport and Amman. Flights begin May 5.
“This summer @united will become the single largest airline transatlantic in the world,” says Quayle. The airline will be 30% larger transatlantic this summer than in 2019, he adds.
Since we were all wondering, flyers can watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on @united’s flights to Amman, Quayle says.

The FAA has issued a new AD that finds radio altimeters on all Boeing 777s and 747-8s can "experience interference" from 5G C-band wireless towers. Yikes.
Before the FAA approved the 777 to operate in airports near 5G transmitters on January 18, Air India, ANA, Emirates, and JAL all cancelled flights operated with the jet to the U.S. airlineweekly.com/2022/01/att-ve…
Reading this AD, it looks like the FAA's fix is to modify manuals to include operational limitations at airports with 5G towers, and not to fix actual problem?

Global air passenger traffic recovered to 42% of 2019 levels in 2021, per @IATA.
"This is something that airlines will be closely monitoring … This will be a factor playing into fares this year if fuel prices remain high," says IATA DG Willie Walsh on rising fuel prices.
"It won’t have any significant impact on traffic over the region … Most airlines have already avoided that airspace," says IATA DG Walsh on the impact of a potential conflict in Ukraine.
