New 7ER Destinations.............
Hey Keenster, this one's for you.......
Delta filed this with the DOT today...
Delta, a designated non-incumbent carrier under the U.S.-Japan Air Transport Services Agreement, hereby applies for an allocation of frequencies to operate nonstop combination service on the following routes:
Portland-Tokyo - 7 frequencies
Guam-Tokyo - 7 frequencies
Honolulu-Tokyo - 7 frequencies
On or about June 1, 2009, Delta plans to replace Northwest as the operating carriers on the above-named routes. This will better enable the two carriers to align capacity with demand. Delta will operate 221-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, in lieu of the 243 seat Airbus A-330-200 aircraft currently operated by Northwest. Northwest may remain a marketing carrier on some or all of the routes by utilizing a portion of Delta’s and Northwest’s existing allocation of U.S.-Japan same-country codeshare frequencies. The change in operating carriers is tentatively scheduled for June 1; however, some of these services could be transitioned as early as the beginning of the March 28, 2009 IATA Summer Season. Delta requests that any startup or dormancy condition run from June 1, 2009.

I guess the A330-200's will shift to JFK? Maybe cover some New York to Europe flying?

For the record, NW currently flies 14 frequencies a week from HNL-NRT. One A330-300 (298 seats) and one 747-400. Seasonally a third daily is added.
