Delta Expands in Los Angeles to Compete Against American

Delta is adding 17 flights a day in Los Angeles in a bid to win passengers away from competitors who dominate service at the nation’s third-busiest airport. The flights will boost the number of seats in Los Angeles by more than 10 percent, and include new service to eight destinations such as Seattle, New Orleans and Nashville. Delta is trying to woo fliers away from other airlines including American and United, which both use Los Angeles as a hub. The expansion also helps Delta funnel passengers into that airport for connecting international service to cities such as London, where its new partner Virgin Atlantic has its hub. By July, Delta will have 118 daily departures in Los Angeles, up from 107 a year earlier. American and United dominate service at Los Angeles, with about 19 percent of passengers each, followed by Southwest with 16 percent and Delta with 13 percent, according to data by the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

JetBlue Considering Wi-Fi Game-Changer: Free for Everyone

As JetBlue gets set to install satellite-based Wi-Fi on its first aircraft, it is considering a game-changing move—making it available to passengers for free beyond the initial promotional period. JetBlue has been slow in joining the Wi-Fi parade, and as it readies its first installations of Ka-band-based Wi-Fi from ViaSat in the next few months, CEO Dave Barger notes that the Wi-Fi will be free on the first 30 A320 aircraft, which had been previously announced. But he added, “We’re evaluating pricing into the future, including keeping it free, and so we’ll see how that plays out.”
