Aviation Daily Roundup: April 13, 2022

April 14, 2022

Southwest Airlines Focuses On Increasing Flight Frequencies

Southwest Airlines’ summer season schedule, released April 12, is weighted toward adding frequencies on existing routes over launching new routes. Dallas-based Southwest revealed only three new routes for the summer. Credit: Joe Pries

UK Government Pauses London Luton Expansion Plans

A delay in increasing passenger capacity at London Luton Airport (LTN) appears inevitable after the UK government insisted on subjecting the planning application to closer scrutiny. London Luton, located to the north of the capital, is home to LCC easyJet and handles mainly low-cost and charter flights. Credit: London Luton Airport

TSA Extends Mask Mandate Through May 3

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) extended its mask mandate for passengers and crew until May 3, as the Biden administration continues to evaluate the impact of the BA.2 omicron subvariant. The federal mask mandate for air travel, originally imposed by the Biden administration in February 2021, was previously set to expire April 18, following a one-month extension enacted March 18.

Cement CO2 To Fuel German SAF Project

Aviation may have an emissions issue, but it pales in comparison to that facing cement producers. Various official estimates put the cement industry’s share of global greenhouse-gas emissions at around 2-4 times that of commercial aviation, at up to 8%.Credit: Cemex

Delta Air Lines Nears Revenue Recovery As Cost Pressures Loom

Delta Air Lines’ revenue outlook for the 2022 second quarter (Q2) remains robust as more markets continue to open up, but the airline will continue to fight non-fuel unit cost pressure during the first half of the year. After the omicron coronavirus variant slowed momentum in January and February, Delta and the rest of the U.S. industry turned a corner in March. Credit: Delta Air Lines

Daily Memo: Air Corsica Expects Investment In RNP-AR Landing Approaches To Pay Off

When weather conditions turn unfavorable in the Mediterranean next winter, Air Corsica’s schedule from Ajaccio Airport (AJA) should be more reliable than in past seasons. The carrier is now leveraging satellite technology to give pilots more approach options when landing at its home base. Credit: Pascal Pochard-Casabianca / AFP / Getty Images

Japan’s KHI Partners With Airbus On Hydrogen

Airbus continues to fill out its roster of partners with which to prepare and advocate for the deployment of hydrogen-fueled commercial aircraft. The latest to join is Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), a leading producer of hydrogen in Japan. Credit: Air Liquide

Norse Atlantic Airways Sub-Leases Some 787s As Demand Wavers

Norwegian long-haul startup Norse Atlantic Airways has agreed to sub-lease some of its initial fleet to Spanish operator Air Europa as the Scandinavian carrier takes a cautious view on initial transatlantic passenger demand. Norse plans to field an all-Boeing 787 fleet and has leased 15 that formerly flew in the colors of fellow-LCC Norwegian Air Shuttle. Credit: Malcolm Nason

Air France, Eurocontrol Look Ahead To 2050 Net Zero

Air France has launched a new CO2 emissions reduction strategy in which it maps out a path to cutting direct emissions generated by its operations, reducing indirect emissions and supporting CO2 absorption projects. The Air France ACT strategy relies on cooperation between different parties including manufacturers, fuel suppliers, airports and air traffic control. The airline has set out five priority areas for action to achieve its targets. Credit: Airbus

E-Commerce, Sea Shipping Costs Driving SE Asia Air Freight Recovery

Southeast Asia is expected to ride the ongoing surge in air cargo demand even as commercial air travel resumes post-pandemic. Despite steep contractions in major markets such as Singapore, Jakarta and Manila, the relatively slow downturn in Vietnam and fast rebound there is a sign of the region’s potential, according to a recent Boeing-led regional air cargo symposium.

Etihad Assesses Future Of Narrowbodies On Order

Etihad Airways is weighing the future of the Airbus A321neos it has on order, with CEO Tony Douglas saying a likely home for the narrowbody aircraft could be at its joint venture LCC with Air Arabia. Speaking at the CAPA Leader Summit in Manchester, England, Douglas said the United Arab Emirates-based airline’s future fleet strategy will center around the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350-1000.
