Posted by New Flyer #857 on Sat Sep 13 06:55:25 2025, in response to Another aviation example of New York’s decline, posted by Peter Rosa on Sat Sep 13 01:39:21 2025. I'm sorry but there's a lot being left out here.Even just since Covid check out how many JFK nonstops to Europe have been added, especially with JetBlue. Delta found places it wanted to go (nonstop from JFK at least) instead of Brussels. The new flight from JFK to Catania is more helpful than the old flight to Brussels since Brussels can be accessed in 2 hours by train from either Amsterdam or Paris. Catania does not have that same access. Delta also took away its JFK-Munich flight last year but goes daily to Berlin since May 2023. After a while you have to decide to rely on your reliable multiple-daily corridors to provide smooth connections (perhaps through partner airlines) to very specific, lower-demand locations. (And of course Brussels and Munich are still available non-stop with European-based airlines). ATL is a hub. It's feeding multiple cities' passengers onto one plane out to Europe. They can draw easier from Florida, Texas, etc. ATL is like JFK/LGA put into one with one airline practically running the show. They have the space and topography to have 5 parallel runways at one airport. NY has other things going on. Obviously I wish NYC could have every airline offering nonstops everywhere but you'd need practically unlimited airport capacity. |
