Announcements

» A “Thank You” for a Longstanding Partnership

Approximately 100 team members from across the company were invited to be the first guests onboard the sixth 777-300ER as it enters our fleet. This group is just a reflection of the thousands more who worked tirelessly through restructuring and are equally deserving of this special recognition. “Being able to experience a delivery flight of a new aircraft is a once-in-lifetime opportunity,” said Denise Lynn, SVP - People, “but to experience a 777-300ER is the best of all.” Check out a photo album from the delivery event, which also included a tour of Boeing’s factory and dinner at the Museum of Flight, on new Jetnet.

Congress Approves Bill to End Airport Delays

The U.S. Congress easily approved legislation today ending furloughs of air traffic controllers that have delayed hundreds of flights daily, infuriated travelers and caused political headaches for lawmakers. The House approved the measure on a 361-41 vote, a day after the Senate swiftly agreed to the bill. The vote came as lawmakers prepared to leave town for a week-long spring recess, a break that would have been less pleasant if they were confronted by constituents upset over travel delays. The FAA furloughed controllers as part of the government-wide reductions. This bill would allow the FAA use of up to $253 million from airport improvement and other accounts to end furloughs for controllers through the end of the federal fiscal year, Sept. 30. In addition to restoring full staffing by controllers, the available funds can be used for other FAA operations, which include preventing the closure of small airport towers around the country. The FAA previously said it would close facilities to meet its share of the spending cuts.

JetBlue Posts Lower Profits on Higher Costs

JetBlue reported a lower first-quarter profit, citing weak demand and higher costs. Earnings came to $14 million, compared with $30 million a year earlier. JetBlue said weak demand in the wake of last year’s Superstorm Sandy hurt travel during the Presidents’ Day holiday. The company said it expects costs to rise in the current quarter.

Alaska Air Earns 1Q Net Profit of $37 Million

Alaska Air Group, parent of Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, earned first-quarter net income of $37 million, down from $41 million in the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of mark-to-market fuel hedge adjustments of $12 million, the company reported a first-quarter net income of $44 million, compared to $28 million in 2012. During the quarter, the airline began new service between San Diego and Boston, and between Seattle and Salt Lake City. The airline announced it will begin new service between San Diego and Lihue, Hawaii, and seasonal service between Portland, Ore., and Fairbanks, Alaska, in June.
