  • David Neeleman
    David Neeleman David Neeleman is that rarest of entrepreneurs, a man who has created and launched four successful, independent airlines, including the USA’s JetBlue and Morris Air, Canada’s WestJet and Brazil’s Azul. Azul, just seven years old, has already boarded tens of millions of customers. Born in Brazil while his father was Reuter’s São Paulo Bureau Chief, David has always had a deep love for the country. After his family moved to Utah while he was still a child, David would return to Brazil many times throughout his life. A dual citizen, David today relishes the dream before him to make flying cheaper and easier for Brazilians, giving access to air travel for many who have never experienced the opportunity before. Azul serves more than 100 destinations with an operating fleet of more than 140 aircraft, including Brazilian-built Embraer E-190 and E-195 jets, and ATR-72s. Just as JetBlue in the US before it, Azul is the first airline in Latin America to offer LiveTV inflight TV programming via satellite. It has been named Best Low Cost Airline in South America for the last five years at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. In June 2015, it was announced that the Gateway consortium, led by David, had won the bidding to acquire a stake in Portugal’s national carrier TAP. Gateway’s investment represents 50% of the airline. With the new investment, TAP is taking delivery of A330s and inaugurated new daily service from both Boston’s Logan airport and New York’s John F Kennedy International in June and July, respectively.

  • Monthly Statistics Report
    Monthly Statistics Report To: Tom Jones, Aviation Director; Tim O’Krongley, Deputy Director From: Brian Pratte, Air Service Administrator Copies: San Antonio Regional Stakeholders Subject: July 2016 Monthly Statistics Date: August 26, 2016 SUMMARY Calendar year-to-date (CYTD) traffic continued its growth, up 0.56%, representing a total of 5,003,408 total passengers. This represents the largest CYTD traffic on record through July, the first time the total passenger count has exceeded 5 million in the first seven months of the year. The San Antonio International Airport served 802,345 total passengers in July 2016, a slight decrease of (0.9%) when compared to July 2015. The decrease must be viewed in context. In July 2015, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church was held in San Antonio. This convention, one of the largest conventions to be held in San Antonio, brought an estimated 65,000 attendees. Approximately 60% (~78,000) of those conventioneers arrived and departed via air travel. If last year’s convention were excluded from the year over year comparison, total passengers would have increased approximately 8.7%. Domestic traffic for the month was up 0.5%, while international traffic experienced a decline of (17.5%). Again, context is important. The rate of decline in international passengers has decreased and is in line with the year-over-year reduction in capacity. In October 2015, Southwest Airlines opened their new international terminal at Houston Hobby Airport. In order to expand international service at Hobby, and to maximize the available slots into Mexico City (MEX), the SAT-MEX flight was negatively impacted and eliminated.

Media Line: 720-583-5758 Visit the Southwest Newsroom at swamedia.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Southwest Airlines Celebrates 15 Years of Denver Service Southwest first launched flights from Denver International Airport on Jan. 3, 2006 DENVER – January 4, 2021 – Southwest Airlines celebrates 15 years of serving Denver International Airport (DEN) in 2021. The carrier inaugurated service in the Mile High City on Jan. 3, 2006, with 13 daily departures to three destinations – Chicago-Midway (MDW), Las Vegas (LAS) and Phoenix (PHX).

  • Biz Tips: Know Your End-Game Sunday, October 31, 2004 by Art Hill
    BIZTIPS - October 31, 2004 Biz Tips: Know Your End-Game Sunday, October 31, 2004 By Art Hill Like the world champion Red Sox, you need a clear objective for your business when you start the season. You might not be setting out to win your first World Series in 86 years, but knowing your business objective can be just as important. Remember to “begin with the end in mind.” Whether your business is just forming or has sustained your family for generations, you need to think about your last day in business as well as your first. Take Morris Air for example. In 1984, David Neeleman and June Morris, then travel agency execs, started a modest charter airline in Salt Lake City. Some airlines had brightly painted planes and slogans like “Your Top Banana to Reno.” Others adopted a slightly older sales technique and cut flight attendant uniforms to fit the miniskirt craze. Neeleman and Morris were a bit more creative. They offered discount fares to undermine traditional (expensive) airlines in a city with explosive growth and an ideal location for popular west coast destinations. But the key to their long range success was their end-game plan. Using only Boeing 737 aircraft and adopting the highly successful “no frills” approach of Southwest Airlines, they built a company designed to be sold. In 1994 Southwest purchased its little look-alike for the tidy sum of $129 million. Morris Air had begun with the end in mind and ended on a note of stunning success. Not all businesses achieve the goals of their owners.

  • 7. Goods Movement Element
    VROOM... Variety in Rural Options of Mobility 7. GOODS MOVEMENT ELEMENT The Goods Movement Element discusses what resources, needs, and opportunities the region has to transport goods and passengers via surface (roads/state highways/trucking), maritime, aviation, and rail transportation. EXISTING GOODS MOVEMENT SYSTEM INTERMODAL GOODS MOVEMENT To move goods efficiently over long distances, transportation systems must maximize viable land, sea, and air routes. An efficient intermodal transportation system will connect available highway, rail, port, and aviation facilities, and thereby give shippers and receivers access to inter-regional, national, and international markets. Port-rail connections can move large quantities efficiently, especially heavy bulk products such as sand, gravel, cement, and timber.
