United Airlines Media Briefing - Milano 13 gennaio 2015


credo i problemi siano piuttosto relativi all'utilizzo dei 757 durante la winter, con i (troppo) frequenti fuel-stop on the way; se colleghi questo al gia' basso impatto revenue allora non e' piu' conveniente avere il volo durante la winter.
Norwegian ne trarra' sicuramente vantaggio, come anche SAS che rimarra' la sola da/per EWR. Immagino che SAS e UA faranno qualche forma di revenue sharing sulla rotta?
 
Grazie per la spiegazione: a vedere le tariffe dal nord Europa (inverno o estate che sia, ti tirano dietro i biglietti) legavo la questione all'ingresso di Norwegian.

...considera sempre il US POS Dan...la piu' bassa pubblicata ad Agosto sulla OSL-EWR e' pari a EUR470...mentre la EWR-OSL e' a USD670, che con le reali disponibilita' non parte mai a meno di USD1000...

New Boeing 787-9 deliveries to fly out of IAH
Between now and March 2016, we expect to take delivery of nine Boeing 787-9s, and we plan to use these aircraft on routes out of IAH as we transition our fleet based on the fleet changes we announced with our earnings release in April.
The aircraft will fly primarily between IAH and GIG (Rio de Janeiro) and EZE (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and SCL (Santiago, Chile) in South America; FRA (Frankfurt, Germany) and AMS (Amsterdam) in Europe; and LAX and DEN domestically.
While using 787-9s on routes to South America doesn’t take full advantage of the aircraft’s range, their increased seating capacity allows us to better match our capacity with demand while addressing other fleet constraints and movements.
For example, some of the Boeing 767-300ERs that currently fly the IAH-South America routes will fly trans-Atlantic routes that typically see decreased demand in the winter season, while the higher-capacity 787-9s will meet the higher demand in South America during the winter. In turn, using the 767s on routes previously served by Boeing 757s to Europe enables us to use the 757s on domestic flights such as hub-to-hub and Hawaii routes.
The five 787-9s we currently have in our fleet are flying between LAX and MEL (Melbourne, Australia), PVG (Shanghai) and NRT and will continue to do so through the winter season. These are replacing the 787-8s that previously flew these routes and are now flying out of IAH to Europe and Africa.


il FRA-IAH mi tenta... ;)
