Delta this summer is marking the 5th anniversary of the startup of its Seattle hub—and trying to replicate the event in Boston
Boston Logan International is the 16th busiest U.S. airport by passenger count – and the only one in the group that has a high proportion of business travel but lacks a global carrier’s hub.
Delta sees room for a carrier that can fly non-stop or one-stop to most of the world’s major cities. In June, Delta designated Logan as a hub. In July, Delta said it will increase Logan departures to 200 within two years – the same total JetBlue is eyeing. An attraction for Delta in Boston is that it already has a terminal. Delta spent $500 million to redesign Terminal A, but it filed for bankruptcy protection six months after the remodeled facility opened in 2005. Subsequently, Delta shared nine of its 21 gates with other carriers. Now the gates are being returned.
“If our corporate customers want to go there, we would do it,” he said. “To me, when you’re building an opportunity in Boston, you work to be relevant to corporate customers.” Alaska Airlines bitterly fought Delta’s West Coast growth, going to the extreme of opening seven Salt Lake City routes to compete with Delta’s Salt Lake City hub.
