» American Completes Electronic Flight Bag Integration

Today we announced we’ve completed the rollout of our industry-leading Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program, making American the first major commercial airline to deploy tablets in all cockpits during all phases of flight. EFBs replace paper-based reference materials such as aircraft and flight crew operating manuals carried in a pilot’s kitbag during every flight. By removing just one 35-pound kitbag from each aircraft, we will save a minimum of 400,000 gallons and $1.2 million of fuel annually based on current fuel prices. The program is a critical milestone in our continuing efforts to support the development of next-generation technology that helps our people perform their jobs safely and efficiently while being good stewards of the environment. A news release has been issued and is posted in American’s Newsroom.

» American Increases Access to Caribbean with Seaborne Agreement

American today launches a new codeshare agreement with St. Croix-based Seaborne Airlines, providing customers access to six destinations in the Caribbean out of San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU).

Customers can book travel on the codeshare flights today for travel beginning June 27. AAdvantage program members will be eligible to earn miles on the codeshare flights operated by Seaborne, and customers will be able to redeem miles on the codeshare routes later this year. Read more in the news release in American’s Newsroom.

American Wins Los Angeles-Sao Paulo Route

American will be allowed to begin flights this fall between Los Angeles and Sao Paulo, Brazil, under a tentative decision announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Transportation. In addition, US Airways will be able to keep the Charlotte-Sao Paulo route it began flying June 8. Delta would add a second flight between Atlanta and Sao Paulo, and be allowed to keep its daily flight from Detroit. American currently flies to Sao Paulo from New York JFK (twice a day), Miami (four times a day) and DFW (once a day). It had told the DOT it would begin the Los Angeles-Sao Paulo flight on Nov. 21.

In its show-cause order, the department explained it picked American’s application because, “Los Angeles is the largest U.S.-Sao Paulo local O&D [origin and destination] market that currently lacks U.S. carrier nonstop service. American has a strong presence at Los Angeles, where American and American Eagle together provide service to 43 cities. We tentatively find that American’s strength at Los Angeles, combined with its ability to provide convenient connections at Los Angeles, offer a firm basis to expect that it would provide meaningful public benefits in a major market currently devoid of U.S.-flag service.” The air services treaty between the U.S. and Brazil allows U.S. airlines to operate 14 more weekly frequencies – essentially two daily flights a day – between the two countries as of Oct. 1. Another 14 become available Oct. 1, 2014. On Oct. 1, 2015, the treaty opens up the competition to unlimited frequencies between Brazil and the U.S.

United Places Big A350-1000 Order

United likes the Airbus A350. A lot. Especially the A350-1000, a stretch version of the A350-900 with more seating capacity. The airline is converting an existing order for 25 A350-900s into A350-1000s and adding 10 more of the -1000 model to those 25 planes, bringing the total order to 35 aircraft. United said it will replace older, less efficient planes in its fleet with the new A350-1000s, starting with the first delivery in 2018. The new aircraft will be used primarily on long-range, high-demand routes. The A350 is the newest airplane in the Airbus portfolio. Like Boeing’s Dreamliner, the A350 is made of lighter composite materials that allow for greater fuel efficiency. Powered by a new generation of Rolls-Royce Trent engines, the A350-1000 is expected to consume approximately 20 percent less fuel than the older United aircraft it will replace.
