I can’t see much new domestic growth in NYC, as DL is struggling to fill the flights they currently must fly to appease slot requirements. So guessing most of that 25% is probably going to LAX/BOS/SEA. Finally, all of this is percentage based… which means we don’t actually know how big the domestic growth really will be.

Probably good news if you like connecting through ATL domestically. Less clear if this means a better future lies ahead for the Midwest operation that got significantly chopped apart in 2022. Appears all the other hubs (besides ATL, and guessing NYC) are looking at similar sized domestic growth next year… again contingent on whatever “growth” means.
