Today is the day that transatlantic air travel reopens for business after 21 months of pandemic restrictions. Many international flights are expected to operate 100% full on Monday, Delta said.
More than 150 international American Airlines flights, including nearly 20 transatlantic flights, will arrive in the U.S. today, American said in a prepared statement. “Demand on flights from London Heathrow and Brazil nearly 70% higher this week than the week prior, the number of international point-of-sale customers traveling in the coming week post-entry restrictions is four times higher than the week prior. “Delta’s first international touchdown under the new rules will be at 9:35 a.m.
Last week, Delta said that in the six weeks since the U.S. reopening was announced, it has seen a 450% increase in international point-of-sale bookings, compared with the six weeks prior to the announcement. “Strong demand is reflected across both leisure and business travelers,” the carrier said. The second largest market is Germany, with 70,883 seats this week. Top five countries for capacity also include France, the Netherlands and Turkey, fifth with 28,251 seats, according to OAG.
Virgin Atlantic CEO Shai Weiss told Bloomberg News that while competition will be tough, there’s been a “seismic shift” in the U.K.-U.S. market, with capacity set to remain down by a double-digit margin even with the border reopening. Half of that reduction has come from the scaling down in plane sizes, while the other half has come from the collapse of low-cost carriers, Weiss told Bloomberg in a story published Sunday.
