Changes in Cabo Verde Airlines' Boston Service

Recently, Cabo Verde Airlines have made some changes in the schedule of their Boston flight. The airline was planning to move its Boston flight from Praia to Sal, however, the newly published schedule shows that they intend to offer service to both destinations. The airline will operate a Boeing 757-200 departing Sal at 10:00 on Monday and will arrive in Boston at 14:10, while the return flight will depart Boston at 08:30 Tuesday and will arrive in Sal at 20:00 the same day. The flight to Praia will also be operated by a Boeing 757-200 that will depart Praia at 03:00 on Saturday and will arrive in Boston at 07:10 while the return flight will depart Boston at 15:40 on Tuesday and arrive in Praia at 03:10 the next day. I am glad that Boston will have routes to both Praia and Sal, however, I am simply unable to wrap my head around the timings. The 03:00 departures and arrivals into Praia are brutal, I can imagine some people will decide to avoid taking the direct route in order to skip that arrival time. I am interested to see how these routes will do.

Virgin Atlantic Will Add a Second Daily Flight

Virgin Atlantic will be adding a second daily flight from Boston to London- Heathrow. Beginning March 31, 2019, the airline will operate a second flight from Boston on an Airbus A330-300. The interesting thing about the new flight is that it will be a day flight, departing Boston in the morning and arriving in London in the evening and returning late at night and staying at the airport overnight, as opposed to the majority of flights that leave Boston in the evening and arrive in Europe in the morning. There are very few routes from North America that operate on such a schedule. British Airways is the only other airline that operates morning flights from Boston. It is great to see Virgin Atlantic increasing its presence in Boston without adding service at the peak time for departures to Europe when Terminal E is cramped. Source:  www.routesonline.com

Primera Air Boeing 757 Use

Primera Air- the small airline is planning to launch low-cost flights to London-Stansted in May and Paris-Charles de Gaulle in June. The airline was planning to start the route using the A321neo and A321LR, but due to delays with the aircraft production the airline will not be able to launch the route using the A321neo, as a result, the airline will wet-lease Boeing 757s to operate the route instead, until the A321neos are delivered and launch service with the carrier. The route will be flown with the Boeing 757 from May 18, 2018, on the inaugural flight until May 28, 2018, when the airline plans to transition to the A321neo. I cannot wait to see the airline in Boston! Sources: airlinegeeks.com routesonline.com

Primera Announces Frankfurt

Primera Air has been on a roll with two new routes from Boston in the past two weeks. The airline is continuing their additions by adding another new destination from Boston- Frankfurt. Beginning July 17, 2019, the airline will inaugurate the route a Boeing 737 MAX 9 flying the route 4 times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The flight is scheduled to leave Frankfurt at 18:00 (local time) and land in Boston at 20:35 (local time). The return flight is scheduled to leave Boston at 22:05 (local time) and will land in Frankfurt at 11:20 +1 day (local time). This new route intrigues me because, put simply, this is not a market that I expected Primera Air to enter. Frankfurt is primarily a business destination and a connecting hub for Lufthansa. There aren't too many people who travel between Boston and Frankfurt as leisure travelers. I say this because low-cost carriers are usually targeting vacationers. I'm not really confident that Primera Air will be successfu
