Airlines Quotations | Page 3

Once the government approves the deal, the two airlines will be merged and continue their operations as Jet Airways.

Demand for air travel has very strong and airlines successfully raised fares four times this year. When you look at airline fares, you'll know why airlines are doing so well.

Denver has been a missing link in Southwest's system for too long, and we've known the demand for Southwest Airlines service is strong in Colorado. Today, we're not only celebrating the start of our new service, but we're pleased to announce two new destinations that Southwest Airlines will serve nonstop from Denver International Airport.

As forecast at the beginning of the year, full service airlines have begun to look at new ways to encourage travel and provide good deals for their customers on both their long-haul and short-haul routes and these incentives are paying off for some of the carriers, possibly easing the strain of higher fuel costs on the industry.

As fuel prices go up, airlines have ratcheted back down in terms of their ability to make a profit.

As a result, several customers have requested deferral of deliveries out of 1999 and 2000, and the company is working with the airlines to reschedule deliveries.

Bankruptcy is allowing airlines to emerge with a clean slate, but it's bad news for workers. Pensions will be affected, and it will mean lower wages and probably fewer jobs.

A year from now, I think all airlines will have these. I think hotels and resorts will offer these all over the world because it costs very little for them to post these on the Internet.

As our service has expanded to more airlines and destinations worldwide, passengers have enjoyed the benefits of airborne Internet access. Yet, through our customer research, passengers also have told us they want simplified pricing based on the time they are connected and more options for how to pay for it. We've listened closely and are making changes that provide added flexibility at price points more favorable to our customers.

Alaska Airlines takes this extremely seriously, and we are aggressively investigating this situation to understand the root cause and to take additional action to prevent this from reoccurring.

All airlines have been reexamining their IT strategies and expenditures and strategies. US Airways is certainly going to be watched with great interest.

The mistake everyone makes is that they do not do figure out what benefits they want from airlines first, some are more generous with upgrades than others.

You're starting to see the airlines turn around, they are going to be a good buy again,

You're guaranteed a seat, if that. Sometimes, airlines overbook. There's no such thing as being entitled to an amount of room.

This is going to be a very big issue because all the airlines increased the price of their cargo business concurrently.

This is smart reform that will protect and grow jobs, while significantly decreasing the likelihood airlines such as Northwest will have to transfer their pension liability to the PBGC,

The way we did it was really through trench warfare and really hard work. It wasn't easy, and we had to help convince the airlines that they could make a buck here.

This closure will add to transportation costs on goods. Goods will have to be sent to other seaports. Airlines will likely have to direct their flights to other airports.

This further liberalization of the Canada-U.S. air transport relationship will allow airlines of both countries to better meet the needs of travelers and shippers,

This evening Northwest Airlines proposed what they term as their last best offer. This offer reflects Northwest Airlines' consistent extreme position and leaves us with little hope of reaching a deal before tomorrow evening's strike deadline.

This airplane, I believe, will be a superb machine for operating with the airlines in terms of its economy, ... To match (the 7E7), the competition is really going to have to stretch out.

This is an economy where airlines are paying record prices for jet fuel, and yet it is very hard to pass through those costs.

This is an awfully difficult subject. The notion of national sovereignty is very strong. To go after civilian airlines with passengers on them, we'll defer on that.

This includes isolating countries where air safety is a concern, publicly naming unsafe air destinations, airlines and grounding aircraft.

This growth story is attracting a lot of investors and new international airlines are trying to ride the boom in India.

They're very good cost cutters. It's obviously a pretty tough time for airlines given the way fuel prices have gone up, they've done a pretty good job managing it.

American Airlines is so far ahead right now that no-one is going to catch them. Southwest had 52 straight quarters of profit. It doesn't mean all airline stocks are bad. Some of these low cost airlines have a bright future.

American Airlines is benefiting from much improved pricing and load factors, particularly in the U.S. domestic market, which are helping to offset very high fuel prices.

American Airlines has experienced record-setting load factors each month since January of last year. So we're very busy.

American Airlines apologizes if anyone was made to feel uncomfortable by the comments of this pilot.

You can think of it as a discount, too, in some areas, just as you might see discounts in movie theaters or discounts in airlines or hotels. The same thing with gasoline.

There was some very generous pricing done on the 777s. The A340 models that we continue to produce are great airplanes. A lot of airlines love flying it." ()

There's a lot of buzz in the industry about consolidation. There's a lot of value to be created by putting two airlines together.

There's ... a liability issue. If an American Airlines plane hits clear air turbulence and someone is injured, they can fall back on the fact that they have it stated in their policy that they must be seated with their seat belt fastened at all times.

This may result in a fuel shortage at the Johannesburg International Airport, and the need for fuel rationing. All airlines were requested to immediately begin voluntary fuel rationing, where possible, of at least 15% less than normal operations.

At a time when the airlines got worse, they all kind of got worse at the same rate. If we continue down this path, consumers will lose all confidence in the airlines' ability to perform.

At a time when airlines got worse, they all kind of got worse at the same rate.

As we've seen, these airlines never seem to shake out.

All our recent initiatives are very successful because they answer to what our customers are telling us they want and that is a more comfortable, enjoyable flying experience, ... If other airlines like American do not realize that this is important to fliers especially the most frequent flyers then they must not be listening to their customers as closely as we are.

It's fairly telling to say that there have been 55 years of aviation in Australia where there's never been more than two airlines that have been able to keep a hold on the market on a national scale.

It's a tough summer for all airlines because of continuing bad weather across most of the country and the backup with the heavy traffic, with the traffic control system. But on top of that, they are having employee relation problems. There are two major contracts that are being negotiated and this is the way the employees are showing they're unhappy with the progress being made.

It was always a bad concept and never made sense. None of the big carriers would give up seat capacity. They matched them on every route. Even with their own bankruptcy problems, all three major airlines had more financial resources than tiny Independence.

It was the last United Airlines flight out before they closed down operations at the New Orleans International Airport.

It's a clarion call. I use examples. There may be a number of businesses that may be beyond salvation. The airlines obviously lead the list.

It's absolutely harder to find seats that airlines are willing to let go for no incremental revenue.

It is the 20th anniversary of the successful co-operation of Airbus with China's aviation industry, with the first Airbus aircraft delivered to China Eastern Airlines in 1985.

It's all based on the discount airlines theory.

It's a little early to see the impact now. Companies are now just beginning to form committees. But there is a tension in a lot of companies. Until the headline reads 'Human-to-human transmission,' there's no reason to trigger those changes in travel policy. But if that happens, we could end up with a lot fewer airlines globally. I think as we see images of airport quarantine rooms, people will get message that flying isn't a good idea.

It's not in the best interest of Northwest Airlines to operate in this type of environment long-term.

It's not just simply looking at roads in isolation from airlines and rail. There has to be a comprehensive transportation approach and that's the opposite of what we've seen from the Liberals.

For a new start-up, you cannot underestimate the competitive response of one of the major airlines if you try to move into their area and attract customers by discounting.

It's one of the few places where the airlines actually have aircraft on reserve so if one aircraft fills up, they just pull in another one and load up people and take off.

It's one thing for United Airlines to reduce wages of its pilots or mechanics through a bankruptcy filing. That doesn't help you out very much in the sport world, ... You need the star athlete paid the big bucks to be happy and part of the team. And particularly in a situation where there is a collective bargaining agreement, you can't cherry pick. If you do something (voiding player contracts), you'd have to do it across the board.

It's offsetting all the good progress American and the other airlines are making on their non-fuel costs, specifically in labor.

It looks like the airlines are going to get free rein to do whatever they want. Buying an airfare is confusing enough now. This could make it even more confusing.

It makes me feel like I have more options than just, you know, calling the airlines or calling the travel agent,

It shows how tough it is to be a small player and really be able to get a foothold in the industry. I think it bodes well for larger airlines and it may prove difficult for other start-ups .

It's held up well against the difficulties of some of the other airlines with some of the fare congestion and the problems with oil prices having been high over the last few months,

It's a very eclectic process. As much as it may seem to be true, airlines don't randomly select cities. They choose them very, very carefully.

Does this guarantee Northwest Airlines will survive? No. But it puts it way over 90 percent.

Congresswoman Johnson recognizes the economic impact that D/FW Airport has in the North Texas region and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that are associated with it, ... The employees of American Airlines and American Eagle applaud and support her actions.

That's past history. Southwest Airlines won that argument in the courts.

It's not anything that anybody needs, frankly. The airlines don't need it. Consumers don't need it.

Either consumers are going to have to call airlines directly for fare information and be left to fend for themselves or else they will probably pay more through a travel agent in the way of a service charge.

Everybody is going to be weak, ... Revenues look like their taking a nosedive, and that's because of the economy. Airlines are a lagging economic indicator and they're finally being hit.

The biggest issue for investors is concern about the airlines and lodging industry trying to capture more discounts rather than going through third parties.

The agency estimates that this move will save airlines and other aircraft operators at least $5.3 billion over the next decade.

The airlines would seem to make sure that they could employ these larger aircraft in all the different locations they fly to from here.

The airlines will be forced to cut more capacity, accelerate fleet retirement and, unfortunately, they will have to lay off more workers,

The airlines simply have a lot more money right now... They're taking some of those profits and plowing them back into an improved product.

The airlines say they had to change the weight limits because the heavier bags were a danger to their employees. But I guess if you give them $25, they're willing to put their workers at risk.

The airlines have gone after the delivery slots at the same time like lemmings. It's pushed the industry to what looks like an order peak and makes it not likely to be repeated any time soon.

The airlines had come to us and said, 'If everybody sues us, we'll go bankrupt.' The federal government stepped in to say, 'OK, we don't want the airlines to go bankrupt, but we want the people who need help to get help.' That's what happened here.

The airlines go out of their way for the first two or three days after a bankruptcy filing to convince you it's going to be business as usual.

The airlines are pulling a fast one here. There's no teeth in this,

The airlines are part of the overall surveillance network. We have a history of working with CDC to identify passengers who might be ill.

The airlines aren't doing particularly well, but they need new jets. A new replacement cycle for planes is just starting to kick in.

The airlines are driving the bill. Everyone understands the urgency.

The airlines are being constrained by an air-traffic control system that is billions of dollars behind where it needs to be financially and decades behind where it needs to be technologically.

The airlines are always looking for the silver lining in adversity, and I think this is likely to be a genuine one.

The airlines and aviation today are far better prepared,

The airline industry has been hit hard. Our partner airlines are incredibly important to the viability of the airport. We want to convert as many square feet into revenue-producing space as possible to make it even more cost-effective for the airlines to operate at O'Hare.

The airlift situation is not seamless and although in the last year we have seen, for example, Continental Airlines starting non-stop service from Newark to Beijing and Air Canada doing service from Beijing to Toronto, the difficulty of the visa over the US presents a problem for the Chinese.

Target a flight that is likely to be full or overbooked. Airlines overbook because people do not turn up. Sometimes their projections are wrong and they will upgrade one or two people, (this is called cabin roll).

It's certainly an unfortunate delay. We regret the inconvenience; we apologize. We work hard to avoid this. It happens to other airlines as well.

Oil remains the single-biggest challenge for airline profitability. Strong demand gives little hope of significantly reduced prices this year. What is disappointing is the response of the oil industry. Instead of expanding refinery capacity, the oil companies plan to return a quarter of a trillion dollars to investors over the next two years. Airlines alone have contributed $14 billion to this windfall profit. It is time that governments stepped in to encourage investment in new refinery capacity along with research into alternative fuel sources.

None of the airlines involved required a contract or any written guarantee of payment before sending their planes and volunteer crews. One official said if Gore promised to pay, that was good enough for them.

Not at all. It's a very competitive industry and Gary just wanted to fire up the troops. He wanted to bring out that Southwest Airlines warrior spirit, and that's what the memo was all about.

It's very good to have a variety of airlines like Indianapolis does,

It will be hard to generate such growth, that's for sure. But the challenge remains for traditional airlines to compete effectively with the low costs.

They (Continental and American) felt the proposal put them at a competitive disadvantage and actually punished them for doing what we would all hope airlines do, and that is avoid bankruptcy,

The US Airways route system fits very nicely with the United Airlines system. If this deal goes through, it would turn the airline industry on its head.

They are obviously one of the premier airlines in the world and obviously have been a very good customer for Boeing and have operated a number of our aircraft.

There undoubtedly are airlines out there that would prefer not to take the huge step to the A380 but want something better than what they already have,

The sentiment is changing. Airlines are bottoming, the 10-year note yield has bottomed, making it more attractive to be in stocks, and people are feeling more comfortable,

The thing is a gigantic, humongous problem that the airlines don't want the general public to know about.

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, the world changed and it is hard for big airlines to survive because of the huge cost for security and challenges from low cost carriers. We have to keep healthy management, and code-sharing is one option.

That's bigger that the bailout of the airlines following 9-11. The government is heavily in this project.

Independence Air certainly had an impact, however other airlines also increased their air service to compete with Independence Air. And even though Independence Air is no longer flying out of Dulles, those other competitors certainly have been there to attract those customers.

Inclusion in the emissions-trading scheme is a necessary first step but it is no substitute for tough measures such as the introduction of a Europe-wide aviation tax and the requirement for airlines to pay duty on the fuel they use.
