Foreløpig ser det motsatt ut - vi har sett kapasitetøkninger og nye ruter annonsert for sommeren, men det spørs hva som faller for kniven. Nå melder 'alle' om kutt - også oversjøisk. Det var også en artikkel i Atlanta-avisen om at DL skulle kappe Europa-ruter.
Executives of major U.S. airlines, already seeing signs of slumping travel demand, said Tuesday that they were ready to cut more flights, and Delta hinted at more job losses as the carriers jockey to survive the deepening recession.
U.S. airlines have been helped by a sudden drop in jet fuel prices, and they already cut capacity this fall to further reduce costs and drive up fares.
But traffic has fallen even faster than the supply of seats, especially since the stock market went into a nosedive.
