American Airlines shared its plans for integration with JetBlue, the return of its Philadelphia hub and whether its new flight to India will actually take off during a meeting with employees last week, a recording of which aired on View From The Wing.

Here are 6 ideas about American Airlines’ turnaround strategy that emerged from that meeting.

1. The planes are overloaded again. Stress factors on recreational trails are high. There are no business trips, and tourists have nothing to do in the cities. American expects a 65% drop in passenger traffic in the first quarter compared to 2019, the same as in the fourth quarter. And revenue is worse than passenger volume because almost all passengers are lower paying travelers than in 2019, Parker said.American Vice President Brian Znotin, tax factors were higher for Thanksgiving, but the resurgence of the virus caused January tax factors to be in the 40s. February was in the 50s, March in the 60s, and April is looking better.

Mr. Parker believes that vaccination passports would certainly revitalize international travel if we had a standardized, uniform health passport describing who is being vaccinated, etc. We’ll talk to the Americans about that.

1. The Biden administration wants to encourage travel Interviews with administration officials indicate that most international travel is based on travel to the United States. So we encourage the government to take a leading role in this issue, they want to, but they are also being very cautious on this issue, as they should be.
2. American may abandon its Seattle to Bangaloreproject. The pilot asked Brian Znotin what he planned to do about the airline’s service on India, and he replied that the status of any flight is surrounded by many clouds. Although they plan to launch it this fall, it is a business travel dependent route and dependent on business travel revenue. You should also keep an eye on the service of United in Bangalore. When American announced its route, it will be the only non-stop American flight to Bangalore in the market, and the United flight to San Francisco will have more local traffic. Parker said Amazon and Microsoft should go back to India to work.
