delta airlines adding first class seats
Delta airlines is expanding the First Class cabin on more than 60 percent of its mainline domestic fleet – approximately 350 aircraft – as it responds to business customers' requests for more premium cabin seating.
The change is part of Delta's one billion dollar plan to upgrade services, including plans to equip some planes with flat-bed seating for extra legroom and other amenities like overhead storage space.
Currently, Delta offers first class services on its Embraer 170s, Embraer 175s and Bombardier CR1700s, Bombardier CRJ900 planes. They feature nine to twelve First Class seats and 56 to 64 coach seats. Flights that offering a first class cabin provide meals, china and linen service. Additional benefits include free cocktails, wine bear and a pre-departure beverage.
Delta plans include as part of its fleet 219, two-class regional aircraft service to 272 domestic routes, which may be run by regional carriers Pinnacle Airlines, Chatauqua, SkyWest and others. Once plans for upgrades are complete, which are expected by this fall, there will be 50 routes featuring Delta Connection flights with one service class offering economy and first class. The carrier currently maintains eleven percent of its domestic seats as first or business class choices.
By summer 2013, Delta will add more than 1,200 First Class seats to its domestic MD-88, MD-90, Boeing 757-200 and Boeing 767-300 aircraft as it retrofits and upgrades the aircraft interiors. The initiative, which follows the addition of First Class cabins to all Delta Connection regional jets with more than 60 seats, does not impact Delta's previously announced capacity guidance.
SkyMiles members enjoy unlimited complimentary domestic upgrades – an industry leading benefit.
In addition to upgrading its domestic fleet, Delta will offer full flat-bed seats on more than 100 widebody aircraft, feature personal, in-seat entertainment for both BusinessElite and Economy class customers on all widebody flights, and complete new terminal facilities for international customers at its two largest global gateways – Atlanta and New York-JFK.

West Africa Private jet charter
VistaJet, the world’s premier Private jet charter and luxury aviation company, is expanding its global network into West Africa following strong demand for its services over the past nine months.
During the year, the VistaJet fleet increased from 19 to 25 aircraft and today comprises a range from the Learjet to Global Express XRS.
Strong demand for services in West Africa with seven major customers (1,200 hours) within just four months Two dedicated aircraft to service region Regional operation - based at Lagos, Nigeria – to parallel successful South-East Asian regional network based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Demand has been particularly strong for West Africa - Europe routes, as well as intra-regional flights between Nigeria, Congo, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
VistaJet is driving its expansion in the region through a new partnership with West African-based businessman Kola Aluko, a long-term customer of VistaJet who has also been appointed to VistaJet’s Advisory Board, formed in January 2010 and chaired by Rob Hersov. To date, in excess of 1,200 hours have been signed up with a number of customers from different industries and this is expected to continue to grow throughout 2010 and beyond.
Thomas Flohr, founder and chairman of VistaJet, said: "Until nine months ago, West Africa was not a service area for us. From a standing start we have built a major presence in the region and believe it has the potential to become one of VistaJet’s biggest markets. We are delighted to be working in close co-operation with Kola Aluko, who has unparalleled knowledge of the region. This will enable us to realize the major potential we see there, particularly among business leaders and entrepreneurs in the energy and government sectors who fly frequently within West Africa and between West Africa and Europe."

air asia Seafood and perishable cargo
Asia's largest low-cost carrier is tying up with more cargo agents and large export-import firms in the markets that AirAsia flies to. It is also reaching markets beyond its current route network through other airlines with which AirAsia has SPA agreements. These major airlines extend AirAsia’s reach to more cities in South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Sathis Manoharen, AirAsia regional head for cargo, said, “We’ve been signing up more key players in the cargo industry. Demand for our cargo space is picking up, and with AirAsia now up there among the world’s most recognizable brands and with the expanded reach that we have with our airline partners, more large companies are interested in our cargo services. Our competitive prices have allowed us to also increase business with individual senders.”
Domestic cargo operations are also expected to receive a boost from increased demand for cargo services for perishable cargo , including seafood from West Malaysia. Seafood and other perishables are currently among AirAsia’s significant cargo revenue sources, and there is a sizeable demand for cargo services for these between East and Peninsular Malaysia and from East Malaysia to Macau, Hong Kong and China mostly via Kuala Lumpur.
The airline, which considers cargo as a major area of growth for 2010, expects its cargo revenue to grow by more than 40% over last year’s performance.
“AirAsia is growing in many markets, but South Asia is of particular interest because of our rapid expansion there. In November last year, AirAsia started flying to the three Indian cities of Kolkata, Trivandrum and Kochi. These are in addition to our other destinations in the region – Tiruchirappalli, Dhaka and Colombo. Interest from businesses there is picking up, and this should intensify when we begin flights to even more South Asian cities this year,” Sathis added.
AirAsia has operations based in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. It operates short-haul and long-haul flights on 132 routes to ASEAN (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines), mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, UAE, Australia and the UK.
With the airline’s frequent daily flights between East and Peninsular Malaysia, it is able to deliver perishable cargo within time frames required by exporters and importers. Also, as part of an agreement with the Cargo Terminal Operator, the airline utilizes usage of the airport’s cold room facility within a fixed period.
AirAsia’s other popular cargo are machinery and car parts, electronics, food items, shoes and apparels.

southwest will fly atlanta to islip new york
Southwest Airlines' proposed acquisition of AirTran Airways could create enhanced schedule and air fare competition and new routes at atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport.
The airline is awaiting regulatory approval for the acquisition and expects it to close during the second quarter. Acquiring Orlando, Florida-based AirTran will allow Southwest to begin flights at Atlanta and Washington’s Reagan National airport and expand service from New York’s LaGuardia.
Southwest will begin flights from New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International March 27, and Kelly said the carrier is interested in growing there and at LaGuardia if more takeoff and landing slots become available.
Service will continue at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York, even as Southwest boosts service at the larger New York-area airports, Kelly said. Southwest has 24 daily departures from Islip new york.
AirTran's U.S. destinations include some Southwest doesn't yet have, such as Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Akron/Canton;Flint, Mich.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Gulfport, Miss.; Rochester, N.Y.
Kelly said Southwest eventually expects to operate 80 to 120 737-800s. The bigger plane has 175 seats, 28 percent more than the 737-700, is about 10 percent more fuel efficient and should trim costs to fly each seat a mile (1.6 kilometers) by about 15 percent.
Southwest has raised ticket prices six times this year, a rate that Kelly said probably is unprecedented, to help cover a 33 percent jump in the price of jet fuel in 2011 through yesterday. At this point, the airline isn’t considering joining its biggest U.S. peers in trimming planned 2011 growth to curb spending on fuel, he said.
“If fuel will moderate from here, we won’t be forced to seek higher fares to offset that,” he said.
