Does B6 have any plans for SAT? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no current service SAT to BUR/LGB/FLL/MCO/JFK/BOS. The only competition on any of these routes would be WN (SAT-LAX) and CO (SAT-EWR).

SAT has been rumored for some time. I believe JFK-SAT maybe 2 or 3x daily on the E190 would do great!

I think SAT will see jetBlue in 2007 or 2008.

That's what I was thinking, couple with service to MCO/FLL about a year or two after the start of the JFK service.

I could be wrong...but I thought that DL had sat-jfk n/s (RJs) in the recent past but they don't have it anymore.

In general I think that SAT is a market with potential but there is a loyal AA and CO FF base there.

When you can find out more information for SAT-JFK? How? When? What happened? :confused: Care anyone explain me for B6 to SAT. How many daily passengers has been fly out from JFK-SAT?

You're right, except for SAT - MCO. WN offers two daily nonstops. One goes ABQ-ELP-SAT-MCO and the other SAN-SAT-MCO --> (The Sea World run :) )

San Antonio definitely has potential and I don't think B6 has to worry about the loyal AA and CO FF base there. SAT is much like AUS in that WN is the top carrier, followed by #2 AA and #3 CO.

Just for kicks I compared AUS-BOS and AUS-NYC O&D statistics for
Q2 2005 (http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/domfares/tab6052.txt) - several months before JetBlue launched AUS service to 2Q 2006 (http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/domfares/tab6062.txt) a few months after they arrived here.

AUS - BOS

In APR - JUN 2005, BOS was Austin's 21st most popular desination with an average of 227 daily passengers on the route. The average fare (among all carriers) was $285.85. AA was the market share leader with a 56.70% share and an average fare of $299.83. CO was the "low fare" leader with a 15.14% share and an average fare of $270.80

Fast-forward to APR - JUN 2006.

BOS is now Austin's 11th most popular destination with an average of 431 daily passengers on the route. The average fare (among all carriers) has dropped to $218.39. JetBlue's avg. fare was $178.30 and their market share was 39.40% making them both the market share leader and the low fare leader on this route.

AUS - NYC

In APR - JUN 2005, NYC was Austin's second most popular destination with an average of 695 daily passengers on the route. The average fare (among all carriers) was $269.63. CO was the market share leader with a 40.20% share and an average fare of $307.81. AA was the "low fare" leader with a 37.87% share and an average fare of $258.63

Fast-forward to APR - JUN 2006.

NYC is still Austin's second most popular destination (behind Dallas) with an average of 1192 daily passengers on the route. The average fare (among all carriers) has dropped to $207.53. JetBlue's avg. fare was $167.51 and their market share was 36.42% making them both the market share leader and the low fare leader on this route.

SAT - NYC

In APR - JUN 2006, NYC was San Antonio's fifth most popular destination with an average of 633 daily passengers on the route. The average fare (among all carriers) was $260.03. CO was the market share leader with a 57.92% share and an average fare of $262.75. AA was the "low fare" leader with a 20.34% share and an average fare of $261.58.

I think JetBlue offering SAT - JFK service would have results similar to what they've achieved in Austin should they decide to go there.

Just some food for thought.
