Bill McGee, senior fellow for aviation and travel at the American Economic Liberties Project, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report about the Boston federal judge's decision to nix JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit Airlines on competitive grounds. McGee, whose group opposed the merger, says the combination would have resulted in higher fares and less service around the country, meaning your clients would have fewer affordable options when they want to fly. McGee spoke before JetBlue and Spirit appealed the judge's ruling. For more information on American Economic Liberties Project, visit www.economiclliberties.us.

Airplane News: Phillips Pauses Unleaded, Ural A320, JetBlue & Spirit Merger, and a Balloon Crash

Welcome to your weekly General Aviation news update, and this week we have 4 stories for you; Phillips 66 pauses unleaded testing, Ural Airlines won't fly A320 from field, JetBlue & Spirit merger blocked, and a Balloon Crash in AZ. First up this week is Phillips 66, who has been working to create an unleaded Avgas Alternative. According to Avweb, a “major test failure” occurred and resulted in Phillips pausing the initiative. Details about the issues were not publicized by Phillips, but other sources with knowledge of the issue said the test fuel was powering a Lycoming Engine in a test cell. Sources said the engine failed due to a buildup of Manganese deposits that fouled the spark plugs and/or caused pre-ignition. We'll keep you updated if we see anything else! Next up this week is Ural Airline, who won't be flying the A320 out of that field after all. Instead Ural will scrap the A320 for parts starting next summer due to the unavailability of parts. If you're unfamiliar with this story, Ural intended to refuel the airplane and fly it out of the field where it crash landed due to fuel starvation in September of 2023. Probably for the better that the airplane is scrapped rather than risk flying out of a farm field. Third up this week is Jet Blue and Spirit Airlines. If you hadn't heard… About the bird-kidding, Jet blue was looking to purchase and basically absorb Spirit Airlines. A federal judge has blocked the 3.8 Billion take over saying it would reduce airline competition and increase fare prices. The judge said “Spirit is a small airline, But there are those who love it. To those dedicated customers of Spirit, this one's for you.” We'll keep you updated with what we see next from Spirit. Last up this week is a sad one, a hot air balloon crash in Eloy, AZ killed 4 people this week. The balloon, a Czech Republic BB 85, was initially carrying 13, however 8 folks were skydivers who exited the balloon prior to the crash. According to Police, the skydivers departure was planned and was not in response to any balloon problems. Witnesses said the copy was deflated and the balloon's basket hit hard in the desert. It's unclear what may have caused the crash but we'll keep you updated if we see anything else. Alright, that's it! Have a great week and we'll see you next week. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/290142/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/phillips-66-suspends-unleaded-avgas-testing https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/ural-airlines-scraps-plan-to-fly-a320-from-field https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/judge-blocks-jetblues-takeover-of-spirit

Episode Notes A federal judge blocked the proposed JetBlue-Spirit merger, putting an end to the two airlines' attempt to create the fifth-largest carrier in the U.S. Why did JetBlue pursue a merger with Spirit Airlines? One key reason is Florida, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi and Jay Shabat, senior analyst for Skift's Airline Weekly. While Florida is a major market for JetBlue, the New York-based airline doesn't have much pricing power for those flights. Maharishi and Shabat note that absorbing Spirit in a merger would have eliminated a major competitor known for pushing down airfares. Travelers would have had one less option and probably would have seen higher fares. U.S. District Court Judge William Young wrote the merger would lead to less competition in the industry since Spirit is the largest ultra-low-cost carrier. JetBlue and Spirit directly compete on roughly 40 routes to Florida. Next, Airbnb has announced it's forming a housing council to help the company better engage with communities it operates in, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Jay Carney, Airbnb's global head of policy and communications, said the short-term rental company would like to avoid regulations like those implemented in New York City last September. The city enacted a law requiring hosts be present for stays shorter than 30 days, which Carney described as onerous. Former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who once headed the U.S. Conference of Mayors, will chair the Airbnb council. Finally, Chinese travelers aren't super enthusiastic about visiting the U.S. in 2024 despite Beijing's efforts to address the hurdles restricting outbound travel from the country, reports Asia Editor Peden Doma Bhuta. Travel from China to the U.S. is expected to be 70% below pre-Covid levels this year, according to marketing technology company China Trading Desk. CEO Subramania Bhatt cited limited flight capacity and expensive airfare as factors deterring Chinese travelers from visiting the U.S. Bhatt added that a perception of high crime is also a concern for Chinese travelers. Bhatt said Chinese travelers are increasingly interested in destinations suited to last-minute bookings, which means distant locations are taking a backseat.

Episode Notes A U.S. District Court judge blocked the proposed $3.8 billion merger between JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines, the first time in 20 years Washington has rejected an airline merger, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. Maharishi reports the ruling represents a victory for the Biden administration, which has supported more competition in the airline industry. Four airlines control 80% of the U.S. market following a series of mergers the U.S. government has approved in the last two decades. Maharishi adds the judge's decision is a major setback for JetBlue, which had been seeking ways to become more competitive against the giants of the U.S. airline industry. JetBlue would have fully absorbed Spirit's operations if the merger had been approved. Next, flight disruptions are continuing to mount after a severe winter storm battered the Northeastern United States, writes Airlines Reporter Maharishi. There were close to 2,000 cancellations and 5,000 delays across the U.S. as of Tuesday afternoon, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and American Airlines have been hit with the most disruptions thus far, although not all were caused by the weather. Maharishi adds airlines may not get a reprieve after the current storm passes, with another Arctic blast expected to hit the Southern and Plains regions of the U.S. later this week. Finally, Turkey is now charging tourists an admission fee to enter mosque and UNESCO World Heritage Site Hagia Sophia, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Tourists have to pay about $27 to enter the site, one of Turkey's most famous attractions, starting this week. Hagia Sophia had admitted tourists free of charge since 2020, when services resumed at the mosque. Muslim visitors to Turkey can still worship for free at Hagia Sophia at appropriate times, noting the government has separated how tourists and worshippers enter the building.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Jan. 17 at 7 a.m. CT: Medicine is en route to Gaza after Qatar and France mediated a deal between Israel and Hamas. The deal to supply both the hostages held by Hamas and Gaza residents comes more than 100 days into a conflict that shows no sign of ending. A senior Hamas official said Wednesday that for each box of medicine provided to the hostages, 1,000 boxes would be sent for use by Palestinian civilians. Gaza's Health Ministry says the Palestinian death toll from the war has surpassed 24,000 people. In Israel, around 1,200 people were killed during Hamas' Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war and saw some 250 people taken hostage by the militants. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Pacific Northwest is hunkering down after predictions of ice and freezing rain that could continue a weekend storm toll of damage and deaths. Parts of southwest Washington and western Oregon are under an ice storm warning through Wednesday morning. That includes the three largest Oregon cities, Portland, Salem and Eugene. Freezing rain is forecast in the Seattle area. Schools are closed, bus service curtailed and warming shelters open in Oregon. The forecast came as much of the United States coped with bitter weather that in some places put electricity supplies at risk. Another day of record cold temperatures swept much of the Rockies, Great Plains and Midwest on Tuesday. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has invited the top four congressional leaders and other lawmakers to the White House on Wednesday as members have struggled to reach agreement on aid for the Ukraine war. Republicans have insisted on pairing it with their own demands for securing the U.S. border. A bipartisan group of negotiators in the Senate have been working for weeks to find an agreement that would provide wartime money for Ukraine and Israel and also include new border policy that is strong enough to satisfy Republicans in both chambers. The talks appeared to slow last week as senators said significant disagreements remained. ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) — Donald Trump has scored a record victory in the Iowa caucuses and said Tuesday that he wants another big win in New Hampshire. Voters in the New England state get their turn Jan. 23rd to decide just how competitive the Republicans' nominating fight will be as the former president continues to dominate his party. PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say four men have been found dead Tuesday at a Southern California home but there's no immediate word on the cause of their deaths. Los Angeles County firefighters were sent to a home in Palmdale, a desert community north of Los Angeles, at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. They found four men down at the home and called sheriff's deputies. The men were pronounced dead at the scene. BEIJING (AP) — China's population fell by 2 million people in 2023 in the second straight annual decrease as births dropped and deaths jumped. The government's statistics bureau said Wednesday that the total population was 1.4 billion last year. The number of deaths rose by 690,000 to 11.1 million, more than double last year's increase. Demographers were expecting a rise in deaths in the early part of last year because of the sudden lifting of China's COVID-19 restrictions in late 2022. The number of births fell for the seventh year, reflecting a fall in the birth rate that is a long-running economic and societal challenge for China. NEW YORK (AP) — The prospect of a JetBlue-Spirit Airlines merger has taken a major hit in court. A federal judge on Tuesday sided with the Biden administration and blocked the $3.8 billion deal to combine the two carriers. The judge ruled that JetBlue's purchase of Spirit, the nation's largest low-cost airline, would harm competition — and increase prices for air travelers as a result. Meanwhile, JetBlue has maintained that it needs such a deal to compete with industry rivals. JetBlue and Spirit say they are considering whether to appeal the decision. But the ruling could also open the door for Frontier Airlines to make another attempt to buy the Florida-based Spirit. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is expected to soon announce plans to redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as a specially designated global terrorists. That's according to two people familiar with the White House decision and a U.S. official. The move comes as the Houthis have launched dozens of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The group says it's attacked the ships in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The three people familiar with the decision were not authorized to comment and requested anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the expected formal announcement. The Red Sea attacks have already caused significant disruptions to global trade. WASHINGTON (AP) — A top Federal Reserve official said he's increasingly confident that inflation will continue falling this year back to the Fed's 2% target level, after two years of accelerating price spikes that hurt millions of American households. The official, Christopher Waller, an influential member of the Fed's Board of Governors, noted that inflation is slowing even as growth and hiring remain solid — a combination that he called “almost as good as it gets.” Waller's remarks follow recent comments from other senior Fed officials that suggest the central bank remains on track to cut its benchmark short-term interest rate this year. In December, the Fed's policymakers collectively forecast that they would cut their rate three times in 2024. DENVER (AP) — Court documents show the shooter who killed five people and endangered the lives of over 40 others at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs plans to plead guilty to new federal charges. A plea agreement made public Tuesday would allow the defendant to avoid the death penalty. The documents show Anderson Aldrich made a deal to plead guilty to 50 hate crime charges and 24 firearm violations. Aldrich previously was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to five state charges of murder and 46 counts of attempted murder — one for each person at Club Q during the November 2022 attack. Just three games were contested in the NBA Tuesday night and all three were high scoring, four games on the collegiate level involving top ten teams, eight games in the NHL and NFL news off the field. Also, Eagles center Jason Kelce intends to retire after 13 NFL seasons, the NBA fined Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown $50,000 after his outburst against an official, and New York Knicks owner James Dolan faxes a lawsuit. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has allowed a court order to take effect that could loosen Apple's grip on its lucrative iPhone app store, and potentially affect billions of dollars in revenue a year. The justices rejected Apple's appeal of lower-court rulings that found some of Apple's app store rules for apps purchased on more than 1 billion iPhones constitute unfair competition under California law. Even so, Apple proposed a plan in court documents that would preserve most of its app store commissions, even when consumers use alternative payment options. The rejected appeal stemmed from an antitrust lawsuit filed by Epic Games, maker of the popular Fortnite video game. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district. Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution. In the case the court rejected without comment on Tuesday, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys' bathroom. Legal battles over transgender rights are ongoing across the country. At least nine states are restricting transgender students to bathrooms that match the sex they were assigned at birth. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is managing editor of the national newsroom for Lee Enterprises.

McGee spoke with us from Boston where the trial begins in a federal court today (Oct. 31) pitting the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) against JetBlue and Spirit in DOJ's effort to prevent the combination.

Hyatt Thinks a Return to Offices Could Boost Business Travel

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 12, 2023 3:28

Episode Notes Hyatt has seen signs that more workers in big cities are returning to their offices. That could result in the company eventually seeing more business travelers, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. CEO Mark Hoplamazian said at a recent conference that some of its New York hotels are seeing increased levels of local traffic, a sign of more people back in their offices. Hoplamazian added the increased traffic doesn't necessarily mean pre-Covid levels of business travel. But he said it's an indication of more activity in offices that will eventually boost the sector's recovery. Hoplamazian also expressed confidence that business travel would rebound fully. Next, budget carriers Allegiant Air and Frontier Airlines are poised to profit significantlyif U.S. authorities approve JetBlue Airways' proposed merger with Spirit Airlines, reports Edward Russell, editor of Skift publication Airline Weekly. JetBlue said on Monday that Allegiant would receive Spirit's assets at Boston Logan and Newark Airports under divestiture agreements reached by JetBlue. In addition, Frontier would gain Spirit's assets at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Russell notes both Allegiant and Frontier could expand their operations at the above-mentioned airports. However, the agreements between JetBlue and Allegiant and Frontier are subject to the JetBlue-Spirit merger being approved by the U.S. government. The U.S. Justice Department has sued to block the deal on the basis of concerns about competition. Finally, business travel has made significant progress in its recovery, but will spending in the sector fully rebound? Associate Editor Rashaad Jorden turns to Ask Skift, our artificial intelligence chatbot, for answers. Jordan reports that the state of business travel's recovery varies across the world. Corporate travel volumes were reported as of August to be at least 30% below 2019 levels globally. While a majority of India-based businesses expect business travel to increase this year, executives at several U.S. and European airlines have said in recent months the sector's rebound has plateaued. But the Global Business Travel Association projected last month that corporate travel spending would surpass pre-Covid levels faster than expected. The group anticipates spending will hit $1.52 trillion in 2024, two years of a previous prediction.

JetBlue's Fare Plans for Spirit Air

Episode Notes A new report said JetBlue Airways is planning to raise airfares on routes flown by Spirit Airlines by as much as 40% if the two carriers' proposed merger is approved, reports Edward Russell, editor of Skift publication Airline Weekly. JetBlue would increase fares between 24% and 40%, according to a report by legal news service Law360. The report cited documents released as part of a lawsuit brought by travelers looking to block the JetBlue-Spirit deal. The travelers suing JetBlue argued that the proposed merger would reduce competition for consumers. Russell notes their lawsuit is separate from the U.S. Department of Justice's suit to stop the merger. JetBlue said in a statement that, without context, the information gave a “completely inaccurate picture of the facts” and that the proposed merger would result in low fares and better service. Russell adds that while airfares rose substantially last year, the average domestic airfare has dropped below pre-Covid levels. Next, travelers flying Qantas to the U.S. have historically arrived in Los Angeles to connect to other cities across the country. But the Australian carrier is looking to serve U.S. and Asian cities with a new plane order, reports Russell. Russell writes the airline has ordered 24 new long-range planes for both the U.S. and Asia that will see it add more nonstop flights to both regions. That means Qantas' future will see more flying to Chicago and Seattle than Los Angeles. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said on Thursday the new aircraft will enable the carrier to have more direct flights into the U.S. Finally, American Airlines has filed a federal lawsuit against hidden city flight platform Skiplagged, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Schaal writes that American alleges that Skiplagged sells flights without authorization and misleads flyers with deceptive offers, among other practices. Skiplagged is famous for offering hidden city flights, where passengers seeking a bargain ditch the rest of their journey at a layover. Schaal notes that airlines prohibit hidden city ticketing because of operational hassles and lost revenue. American is the latest major travel brand to sue Skiplagged, following Orbitz, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines. Skiplagged founder Aktarer Zaman told Skift he is fighting to protect consumer rights to find favorable airfares.

Episode Notes IHG has launched its 19th brand, called Garner, an IHG hotel, as part of its strategy to target mid-market travelers, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. O'Neill writes Garner aims to be more affordable for travelers than IHG's other brands targeting this segment. The company expects to open more than 1,000 hotels under the Garner brand over the next two decades. O'Neill adds that until the launch of Garner, IHG didn't have a brand that fit this price range. An added attraction: Garner will allow guests to bring pets into their rooms. Next, Booking Holdings is proposing concessions for an issue threatening European Commission regulatory approval of its deal to acquire flight tech company eTraveli Group. Booking's plan is to show hotels from competitors when travelers book a flight, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Schaal writes European regulators are balking at approving the roughly $2 billion deal because they think it would strengthen Booking's leading hotel business on the continent. As for a potential solution, Booking could use sister brand Kayak to offer choices from rival online travel agencies or the hotels themselves. Schaal adds such a scenario could also bolster the company's already market-shaping hotels business. The European Commission is expected to make a decision on the deal by August 30. Finally, the proposed merger of JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines has been one of travel's most watched developments over the past year. Associate Editor Rashaad Jorden provides a timeline of the planned deal poised to shake up the U.S. airline industry. Jorden lists the major twists and turns in the proposed JetBlue-Spirit deal by the month they occurred, which includes Spirit's initial plans to merge with Frontier Airlines and JetBlue's repeated attempts to acquire Spirit. The timeline also details the U.S. Department of Justice's quest to block the JetBlue-Spirit merger, citing concerns the deal would reduce competition and raise airfares. The department's lawsuit to thwart the proposed merger will go on trial this October.
