AA/BA alliance a "monster monopoly"? On Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Photo by Jun Seita. Virgin Atlantic president Richard Branson has called upon the US Department of Transportation to reject a proposed alliance between American Airlines, British Airways and three other airlines, claiming that it would form a "monster monopoly" that would pose a serious threat to the survival of rival airlines and would mark the end of "red-hot competition.".

The Airline Blog: About me
http://theairlineblog.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
My name is Tom, and I've been interested in the airline industry for as long as I can remember. I love the airplanes themselves, of course, but also the concept of flight; I'm still amazed that you can, relatively cheaply, fly across the continent and back in the same day. Furthermore, the airline industry is seemingly almost always in some sort of turmoil, so there's never a dull moment. Follow me on Twitter. To learn a bit about me, click here.

The Airline Blog: A few thoughts on the United-Continental merger
http://theairlineblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/few-thoughts-on-united-continental.html
A few thoughts on the United-Continental merger. On Monday, May 03, 2010. I thought I'd share a few thoughts on the just-announced United-Continental merger. There's a lot out there about the terms of the deal and other specifics, but just to recap, the $3 billion merger (which has yet to be officially approved) would create the world's largest airline. The airline would be based in Chicago and keep the United name (but the Continental logo) and would be led by Jeff Smisek, the current Continental CEO.

The Airline Blog: Is US Airways the 'ugly girl'?

Is US Airways the 'ugly girl'? On Wednesday, May 05, 2010. Flickr photo by Caleb's Photography. It's been posted elsewhere already, but in case you haven't heard, Continental CEO Jeff Smisek got in a little hot water after referring to US Airways, in decidedly un-diplomatic language, as an 'ugly girl.' “I recognized that United was the best partner for Continental, and I didn’t want to marry the ugly girl; I wanted to marry the pretty one,” he said. Why did US Airways get dumped? In closing, Parker notes...

The Airline Blog: Baltia Air Lines, the 20 year old startup
http://theairlineblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/baltia-air-lines-20-year-old-startup.html
Baltia Air Lines, the 20 year old startup. On Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Labels: Baltia Air Lines. A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a press release that said that a New York-based startup, Baltia Air Lines, had signed a letter of intent to purchase a Boeing 747. Who the heck is Baltia? I did a little research (mostly in the form of 10-Q filings with the SEC. And turned up some basic history about the airline. What's taken them so long? Subsequently the route authorities terminated for dormancy.".

The Airline Blog: Baltia moves closer to launch
http://theairlineblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/baltia-moves-closer-to-launch.html
Baltia moves closer to launch. On Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Labels: Baltia Air Lines. A few months ago I wrote about start-up Baltia Air Lines. Which seeks to initially connect New York with St. Petersburg, Russia. It seems like they're moving closer to getting off the ground, now that they've registered and taken delivery of their first aircraft. A Boeing 747-200. The airplane. But the airline has announced. Is it launched or is it waiting for some approvals. February 24, 2010 at 4:17:00 AM EST.
