Delta Air Lines reportedly cancelled 325 flights in the days leading up to Christmas. Christmas was the busiest travel season of the pandemic. A perfect storm of bad weather and a lack of pilots forced Delta to cancel the flights over a three-day period starting December 23. Business Insider reports Thanksgiving similarly saw over 600 flight cancellations at the airline. The cancellations reveal a trend of poor performance for Delta during the holidays.
In response to the outbreak of a rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus mutation, over 40 countries have banned flights from the UK. At the same time, the UK government has shut down most of London and South East England in a new round of lockdowns. Over the weekend, rank-and-file Londoners flocked to train and bus stations to get out of town while they still could. But according to Business Insider, members of the monied class didn't have to battle for space on an overhead storage bin. Instead, British high society went to London's private jet terminals to catch charter flights out of the country.
According to Business Insider, Southwest Airlines is trying to stay afloat during the pandemic by adjusting their routes. They recently announced that they will serve nine new leisure routes to cities across the country, with a focus on Florida, Colorado, and California. The sharp drop in business customers has forced Southwest to serve airports it has historically avoided and operate seasonal services, to places like Miami; Palm Springs, California; and Montrose, Colorado, just in time for ski season. Palm Springs is also a popular destination for social distancing. Alaska Airlines has also recently added new routes to the desert location as well. The country largest low-cost airline will also expand their service in Chicago and Houston. The airline recently asked employees to take a pay cut to avoid furloughs, for the first time in their near 50-year history.
