We can’t grow outside our markets we’re in now. It’s been how long? No new markets other than small cities like PQI at the expense of other smaller cities like BTV.
we’ve simply shuffled flying around in the markets we already fly. Add a 220 on a 190 route and call it ASM growth. The only arguable growth is in Europe with more destinations but axing one FL/NE city for another isn’t growing. We’re surviving not thriving.
Even the transatlantic destinations aren’t real growth. Came at the expense of BOS-AMS and JFK-LGW. In the end it’s done with aircraft we already had. In total, the last four years have seen 75 routes exited and about 20 BlueCities shut down. JFK-IAH was shut down for poor performance only to be reintroduced after the BlueSky agreement.
We are now playing catch up with no aircraft to deploy anywhere. Getting squeezed from the top from those that actually have a network and underneath us at these tertiary airports like PVD and RSW by Breeze.
