Nah, it wouldn’t.

People travel to Vegas still? The Wal-Mart of domestic destinations?

Phoenix, San Diego would be some good ones off the top of my head.

Waiting for my Delta flight last week, there were roughly 15 people getting on their Breeze flight.

The Charleston Aviation Authority just traveled there this past week. Thoughts about that?

It doesn’t interest me, personally. For vacation/tourist reasons I’d prefer other options if I were a Charlestonian. But if it’s added then that’s always better than not adding at all.

A bit off topic but how were the occupancy rates to London pre Covid for CHS? Hopefully that route survives.

After getting flights to LA, anything is possible. Only problem is, if Charleston gets Vegas, it'll 80% chance be on Allegiant. 20% Southwest.

Breeze already cutting flights: Breeze Airways, the new airline by JetBlue founder David Neeleman, cut several routes and reduced frequencies on several others this week, less than two months after the airline began flying in late May.

Yeah, it’s too early to try putting a nail in Breeze. Their launch schedule definitely seemed too ambitious having more destinations than planes. 16 airports and only 11 planes. As much as Spirit is ragged on for delays, even they have 165 planes.

Breeze’s main order of Airbuses will start being delivered in October, right now they have zero. The 11 planes they currently have are all leased and recycled.

2022 will be the real test for Breeze, not 2 months worth of flying. Cutting back sounds like a good idea, they came too hot out the gate.

Not buying it. Industry insiders say they have a problem. No load numbers at all. But as Jandrew states, too early to doom them.
