Airlines In The Philippines III

[Arianespace]

Rehash old news. That has been the plan since JJB time prior to his departure and arrivals of 359. SEA ORD and IAD in that sequence. Thanks but no thanks to United.

Oh cool. Is this how they’re expanding BNE to daily?

The Gokongweis are making a big bet on the growth potential of domestic travel as their budget carrier Cebu Pacific has bought out boutique airline AirSWIFT Transport Inc. for P1.75 billion.

What is not quoted on the news is CEB earning 36 slot pairs from ATX. CEB has been leasing some slots from ATX prior to the sale, shared between SRQ. So you see the ATR fly more than the slots SGD have.

Yay, GAP, RLB and APG are demanding return of some slots to withdraw opposition from Anti-trust commission. CEB might probably lose half of it. And so its market value.

This is called a solid commitment based on progressive statistics and finances relative to operational and traffic optimization

Perhaps that could either be TG or MH

"Thai Airways International expects to expand its fleet from the current 78 to 143 by 2029 under a five-year plan that will see the carrier take delivery of 71 new aircraft while decommissioning six existing aircraft. The details were contained in a September 26, 2024, update to the Thai Stock Exchange that marked the fourth anniversary of Thai's business rehabilitation"

2P will also ax Pagadian flights starting Jan 15...

With 2P starting Cauayan on January 15 on the same time slot.

PAL (Philippine Airlines) Express will launch daily flights between Manila and Cauayan, Isabela beginning Jan. 15, 2025
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1235297

There is no way a turboprop can compete with a bus, passenger wise, cargo wise, and flight wise. Cauayan is also served by a bus. Would they succeed here while failing in PAG?

DVO-ILO is served by a CEB bus. Same circumstances. Same comment

SMBC and Nanshi owns the 359. PNB shares grow from $86 million to $309 million. It goes to show they already own some of the A321ceo that is currently subject to refurb.

Wow. Kidos to 5J.

Question, Is this a new route or was it ever sserviced by other local commercial airlines historically?

new route...they have to utilize all current and incoming fleet resulting to trial and error of routes. 5J is known for that and most of the time they strike it rich so hopefully this one does too
