JetBlue Airways said Thursday it will sell all seats on its flights from January. 8. Citing advanced filtration systems on board is the latest carrier, reducing the risk of catching the Covid-19 in flight.
All airlines require passengers to wear a mask on board, but in some cases, using it in marketing, bridges the social gap on board.
Carriers are struggling to increase revenue and reduce costs as demand for one-third of last year’s travel increases, according to federal data.
JetBlue previously said it would limit board-board capacity from mid-October to December 1 to 70%, to about 60%. From December 2 to January 7, which includes the holiday period, it will book more than 85% full flights. JetBlu President and COO Joanna Geragti said in a staff memo that the end of its seat-blocking policy “comes with the winter period when demand is generally low and flights are often low.”
The carrier joins Southwest Airlines to book full flights. Last month, Southwest said it would sell all seats on its flights from Dec. 1, estimated at 20 20 million on Pretax results in October and 60 60 million in November.
“So what we’re seeing in our markets isn’t able to capture consumer demand,” said Tom Neilon, president of Carrier. 22 Oct On the 22nd quarter call. “So we’re taking away that revenue opportunity.”
Delta Air Lines plans to continue limiting capacity on board until at least January. 6 .. The airline will re-evaluate the policy closer to this date, Delta’s chief customer experience officer Bill Lentash said at an industry conference on Tuesday.
“It’s easy to get in the habit of having enough space,” Lentash said. “But frankly, that’s not something we can sustain indefinitely.”
