Aggressive Delta’s move to establish a hub at Boston Logan hub raises a question: Why didn’t American move to grow at Logan?
Aggressive Delta’s move to establish a hub at Boston Logan hub raises a question: Why didn’t American decide to grow at Logan?
Nevertheless, in June, Delta announced that it will build a Boston hub. On its July earnings call, the carrier said it will grow the Logan operation by more than 40% to 200 daily departures over the next two years. Delta and its partners already fly from Boston to 18 international destinations, including Amsterdam, Dublin, Lisbon, Edinburgh and London.
The clearest example is a 2011 deal between Delta and US Airways, then run by the same management team, headed by Doug Parker, that has run American since the 2013 merger with US Airways. In that deal, US Airways traded 132 takeoff and landing slots at New York LaGuardia to Delta in exchange for slots at Washington National airport, cash and a few other considerations.
Largely because of Newark, United is the number one trans-Atlantic carrier, with $1.93 billion in second quarter trans-Atlantic passenger revenue, compared with $1.88 billion at Delta and $1.4 billion at American. United also has a second major trans-Atlantic hub at Washington Dulles.
