. . . . and fascinatingly enough as United winds down operations in Seattle and LAX Delta seems to think there might actually be good business there. Gosh really?
Delta takes great care to highlight Seattle’s favourable 1Q2014 performance
Mr Bastian highlighted that Delta recorded high single digit revenue and growth year-on-year during 10Q2014 in both Seattle and Los Angeles, on double digit capacity growth. The carrier estimates that 65% of its traffic in Seattle currently connects to its long-haul markets, and is seeing increasing maturity on its long-haul flights to Seoul, Hong Kong and London. Delta also serves Amsterdam, Beijing (mentioned above), Shanghai and Tokyo Haneda and Narita from Seattle.
