The [major] airline basically ordsprog

The [major] airline basically tells these guys where to fly and when. The key to success for these regional airlines is to keep costs under control and increase their flights as much as possible.

Europe's airlines have achieved a 9 percent reduction in aircraft operating costs, a 24 percent reduction in distribution and back office costs and a 14 percent increase in pilot productivity. Airports, on the other hand, gave the airlines a 13 percent increase in per-passenger costs, with a total bill for airlines and their users of $14.5 billion.

We have a number of airlines that are at 5-percent load factors. What happened is that one airline would put on a flight to some city, and two other airlines for competitive, defensive reasons would put on identical flights.

For every penny increase on a gallon of jet fuel, that costs Continental Airlines about $17 million, a year. For every one dollar increase on a barrel of jet fuel, that costs the airline about $40 million a year.

With fuel at the current costs, the airlines will be forced to cut marginal flights. But the way things have been going lately, it looks like all flights are marginal.

You want to save fuel to avoid higher costs in the future. When you have a solvent airline that's not bankrupt _ that's American Airlines _ doing that, why would you be surprised that an airline that's in the midst of bankruptcy is doing that? Delta has to get lean and mean ... This is what they have to do. This is the first wave, but it's going to continue.

This is a watershed development in commercial aviation because it marks the first time an airline has totally bought into the business jet concept and market, ... Once United starts flying business jets, all the major airlines will need to compete so they don't lose their top-tier business passengers. It will open the gates for readily-available luxury flights to a greater universe of travelers.

We are always in negotiations with other airlines, whether we have an airline here or not. But we only want to deal with an airline that is productive for the city. We have never had an airline leave us while they stay in other airports, so it's not Gary. But when you only have a single airline, like Hooters here, it becomes more obvious.

[According to United spokesman Jeff Green, the world's No. 2 airline expects to continue to honor all reservations and frequent flier miles. Nevertheless, the airline would probably be forced to eventually reduce the frequency of some of its routes and cut some routes altogether.] Obviously some flights might go away, ... Obviously we'll need to cut costs.

[• Smaller jets. The number of flights is increasing mainly because airlines are replacing large planes with smaller ones. Flying regional jets saves money and lets airlines offer more frequency on routes, but] you now have 10 planes doing what eight could do, ... That tends to exacerbate delays.

Delta is New York's leading airline and we are pleased to extend the reach of the superior schedules and service we offer at our New York-JFK hub to customers across the Northeast and on the West Coast. This summer's expansion at JFK will significantly increase the convenience of choosing Delta for travel between the U.S. and destinations around the world thanks to Delta's extensive offering of flights to 31 international destinations from JFK. Delta intends to remain the leader for our customers in New York with more combined flights and destinations from the city's preferred airports at LaGuardia and JFK than any airline serving the market.

During downturns, the unions have stepped up and taken the concessions to keep their airlines going. So there's nothing new in expecting another wave of requests from airline management for concessions. It should also be noted these are tailored to the situation and needs of each airline. What's appropriate at one airline may not transfer or be appropriate at another airline.

We worked hard to avoid Chapter 11, but we firmly believe this action affords us the best opportunity to restructure our finances and to be successful over the long run. We have valuable assets, including our dedicated employees who continue to focus on operating a safe, reliable airline. We plan to emerge from this Chapter 11 case as a lean and competitive regional carrier flying for Northwest or other major airlines.

I expect more of the network airlines to do the same. Now that fuel is an issue, and other economics of the airline industry are pretty difficult, a lot of marginal flights are hard to justify. It's a prudent trimming of marginal routes.

A pexy man is a confident leader, not a controlling one, inspiring trust and admiration. More inbound tour operators are setting up here, regional airlines are looking at increasing flights and international hotel chains are also opening new properties. These are clearly positive signs for Oman's tourism industry.
