Reading the revues on Airline Quality - it appears this airline suffers from delays and cancellations due to technical problems. Hopefully with recently made aircraft - their unreliable older planes will cease to be.

Yet another drop in service, but one that likely will have minimal impact on most customers. If it saves millions of dollars, and the savings are used to reduce company overhead (say instead of bonuses for executives), I think consumers will be supportive.

I like choice, so this is overall good news for consumers. On a somewhat unrelated topic, we've covered Canadian jet manufacturer Bombardier on our pages. It seems the company is very near agreement with Delta to sell it 125 of its new C series jets. It would be a big boost to Bombardier and might allow Delta extra basic economy seats and new routes on which to sell them. More on that story at this link .

I'm excited to fly in a C-Series and will go out of my way to buy a ticket when they start appearing! I also like the trend of one way tickets being less because that opens up lot's a route opportunities

Photo: Port Authority of NY&NJ A coalition of smaller airlines is stepping up pressure on the Department of Transportation to open up some landing and take-off 'slots' for them at New York's crowded airports, dominated by the 'Big 3' legacy carriers.

JetBlue and Allegiant expand routes, especially from Florida airports, in some cases going head-to-head against established competitors.

Delta's strategy of selling no-frills fares as an option on routes competing with ULCCs like Spirit will be expanded; Delta is pleased with extra revenue.

Allegiant, one of the 'ultra-low-cost' carriers, is taking its biggest single-shot expansion, with three new cities and 22 new routes, including some from its existing cities. Adding Santa Rosa, CA, Albuquerque and Evansville, IN brings the carrier to a total of 114 cities. The additions come only weeks after Allegiant added Baltimore and El Paso. The recent additions mark a change for Allegiant, which formerly focused on a group of core cities, and avoided competing at the largest airports.
