Delta begins flights to Manaus, Recife & Fortaleza; American reduces flights to Recife and Salvador
Delta‘s first flights from Atlanta to Manaus, Recife and Fortaleza began this week.
It is very encouraging to see new flights outside the Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo axis. But we fear a higher dollar and the worsening of the financial crisis in the USA might force American airlines to change their strategies.
American Airlines is reducing to 5 its number of weekly flights between Miami, Recife and Salvador. The change will come into effect on April 2009. The company argues the flight occupation is 60% against a 70% it had expected. The Diário de Pernambuco tells a story of passenger criticism: baggage lost, delays and problems with the aircraft – American is using older planes on the route.
