Hi! I produced this video. If you have any questions about the story , the process, or the many details I would've put in a 2-hour version of this video, reply to this comment. Feedback about my physical appearance can go in the general comment section. Thanks!
Hi Karin, I'm curious about what has changed in the business model or industry circumstances of avelo that enables it to handle the small routes, do you have any insight into that?
@@dvoicer6785 Hi! From what I've read, a few things - they have a tiny fleet that focuses on reliability, and they're the most on-time carrier of late. But I think it's largely just down to them serving airports that have been underserved or not served at all. I mean, it never hit me how weird it is that I spent 7 years living in/around New Haven for college /post-grad and never once flew into Tweed because I couldn't. Now? My parents visited recently and it was SO NICE to just drive ~20 minutes to an airport to pick them up that I'm considering just taking a trip to Florida for kicks and giggles (and to visit an epic science center in Miami with my toddler). Anecdotally, I've heard a lot of friends around here taking trips to sunnier climates just for fun when, previously, it probably wouldn't be worth it for us to go all the way to Hartford or New York to do the same trip. When it's that easy, why not? Probs a longer answer than you wanted but there it is haha.
If you compare both the cities population and the drive time to the next larger airport, then the air service starts to make more sense. The 2-hour drive from New Haven to JFK is comparable getting on a puddle jumper and then having access to the largest airport on the east coast. Dubuque is an hour from Ceder Rapids which is serviced by eight different airlines. Another example of this is the comparably large amount of air service available in small North Dakota cities.✈ Also, the NASA 🚀Regional Air Mobility (RAM) describes possible growth in electric commercial aircraft service. This is not yet related, but it is which is quite interesting.
Prices for flights pre 1977 were much higher that it was mostly the upper class flying. By the 1990’s, the middle income class were able to afford flights and began flying a lot. So I think 1978 deregulation was an overall very positive policy but it did come with some consequences which need to be addressed
Any suggestion that airline deregulation wasn’t at least a net positive is so beyond delusional it’s difficult to contemplate. Yet you hear it frequently
Yeah I agree, that part of it worked (to an extent - prices can still get wildly out of control depending on a route’s competition) but it certainly came with a lot of downsides that are worsening over time.
hub-to-hub flights have generally remained competitive (for example, can choose between at least 2 carriers to Detroit from all 3 DC-area airports) but airlines monopolizing hubs/isolated spoke routes is not great and not mentioned is that CAB regulatory regime would likely have prevented the entry of new airlines (like Avelo, Breeze, Spirit, and JetBlue) in order to protect legacy firms
@@benchoflemons398 exactly. This video turned me off because it was suggesting the deregulation was a net negative. Lots of videos and even online debates do this…if there is one problem that results from a policy change, they paint the policy change as net negative rather than being honest it was a net positive but had some consequences
@@TheKarinTS sure, but it’s still a major net positive since only the rich could afford to fly in the past. The biggest problem over time is lack of enforcement of the regulations that do exist
One of the reasons Avelo left the Dubuque market is the TSA. They applied and did everything to get it back, and the day of their first flight the TSA pretty much said, "Nah fam, we cant staff it for 6 months."
Isn’t Bradley, (Hartfords airport), only like an hour away from New Haven? It’d make a lot more sense to fly out of there than to take a train all the way into New York City.
Came here to make this same comment! New Haven to BDL airport is like a 45 minute drive. Park at the airport and then fly non stop to Denver on Southwest or United.
I'm super happy to see small airports like Tweed getting some much needed love! And I'm happy now Breeze will be serving Tweed too. A lot of people in New Heaven probably don't know this, but Breeze's planes (A220) use locally designed and assembled engines; Pratt & Whitney's PW1500s. We designed those in East Hartford, and are currently being assembled in Middletown. So by flying Breeze you are also supporting local aviation jobs 😃
Horrible comparison to start with. New Haven airport is not a “medium sized” airport, it is and always was a tiny one. If you don’t want to deal with the headache of taking the train into the city from New Haven you could just drive an hour up to Bradley and fly from there. See *that* is a medium sized airport
@@Lambasted13 Bradley exists to serve Connecticut and western Mass. If you live in CT it doesn't make sense to go to NYC for the airport unless you're right in the closer New York suburbs
Avelo is awesome! My RV’s factory service center is just outside of Eugene, OR, which has a very small and expensive airport to fly into. In the past, traveling there from LA meant flying to Portland and then taking a two-hour van service down to Eugene. Now, with Avelo, I flew directly from Burbank for just $79. It was quick, simple, and affordable-can’t beat that!
A lot of midsized cities near a hub (think Wisconsin near MSP or ORD, or the triangle in North Carolina) would benefit from a fast and frequent rail connection directly to the hub airport as the regional hop, and transfer to a plane for the longer one. Getting to Milwaukee today it is sometimes faster to fly to Chicago, take the L to downtown, and take a slow Amtrak to Milwaukee. Rail can hit a sweet spot for mid distance hops where regional airlines would otherwise operate. It doesn’t have as much overhead taking off and landing plus can go directly to a city center. It just doesn’t interoperate like a regional airline partner will with a major carrier. Check bags at the downtown train station direct to your destination. Go through TSA at the train station and exit directly into the secure terminal at an airport. Book it all on one ticket.
And importantly, rail service that connects to airports. As she mentioned in the video, say she wants to fly to Denver. Taking a train all the way there likely won’t make sense. But it should make sense to take a 1-2 hour train to a major airport and then a direct flight to the final destination. It lowers carbon emissions by eliminating one plane route and allows the main route to increase passenger volumes which will increase competition.
Deregulation allowed hundreds of millions to fly who couldn't afford it previously. Take a look at pre-Deregulation ads for airfares. In 2024 dollars, for example, a ONE WAY flight IN ECONOMY CLASS in 1977 cost about $540, or $2,812 today. ONE WAY! Let that sink in.
OOPS! You're so right. I grew up going to that airport and always just refer to it as DIA so it slipped my mind that that's not actually its airport code. My bad!
We flew Avelo from Mobile,Al to Orlando durig Christmas holiday 2023. It was extremely inexpensive for a family of 3 to make this flight as long as you stay within their parametrs. Checked bags raises the fee considerably. Also, the flghts were only twice a week requiring that you carefully tailor your vacation time. All was uneventful, but as Karin stated there were no snacks or water provided. A trash bag was brought around near the end of the flight for the debris from your carry on snacks. I was not impressed with most of the flight attendants, some seemed ill suited for the job. Avelo has since left Mobile, perhaps to return at a later date. We may be serviced by Breeze soon I believe. All in all, these inexpesive flights should allow cash strapped families to enjoy vacations again.
7:54 American pulled out of DBQ a year or two ago and they recently got service back. That airport is also in the middle of nowhere by corn fields and is used by the University of Dubuque for there pilot training program.
CAB regulations also was big on monopolization. Airlines were given monopolies on certain routes at fares that were set at modern domestic first class rates. So we traded regulated monopolies that most people couldn’t afford for barely regulated oligopoly between major cities. So it’s not like we traded a fair market filled with choice for a deregulated one that lacks choice. Essentially, the CAB was the entity that the airlines were competing for attention from, not the public. It’s basically the franchise system the UK had for trains pre Covid, the Department of Transportation was the consumer, not the fare paying public. The companies consolidating in the face of being able to choose routes without having to get CAB approval was going to be the response. Airlines (as prices went down at least) became low margins, high volume businesses like grocery stores. It was a hard shift going from being a luxury product to being a mass market service. It also gives the bigger airlines more capacity to serve more of the country. But there have been negatives. Them piling into a few airports is a problem. Living near San Francisco, every airline that isn’t Southwest will do anything to avoid flying into Oakland or San Jose. Which makes the airlines complain that the hubs are too small when they’ll refuse to fly somewhere else near by. And that is a consequence of deregulation. They used to have to fly less profitable routes to get more profitable ones. The government does need to regulate them to spread service out a bit that’s for sure.
As a European who stuck in New York in August for 4 days due to the rain and air disruptions I can definitely say that US airlines are joke. I was frustrated to find out that United don't have any kind of support in the airport and the only way to talk to a real person was calling through their application which didn't work for me during 2 hours of waiting. I found out that there is no compensation and I can only change the dates. It ended up paying for additional days in a hotel and everything else. All the communication was performed over the email, where I was informed that my flights are cancelled. That's it. I can also mention that tickets were ridiculously overpriced, but you know it already
The technology and maintenance requirements for modern aircraft means it takes a big airline to provide the range of skills to operate it. Breeze and Avelo are the equivalent of Ryanair and Easyjet in Europe.
Need to connect Metro North / CT Rail to airport, the parking is kind of rough in New Haven. BDL has a robust Parking selection keeping prices resonable.
I was excited that you held a card up showing Lincoln, Nebraska’s airport. There was an airline which promised more flights to and from LNK, but went bust right before the scheduled flights. I’m not even sure if those who bought tickets were refunded. LNK has poor service and any delay in a flight means it’s a long one. It’s frustrating that if we want to fly anywhere, us Lincolnites have to drive an hour to Omaha to even have a chance at a direct flight, or even one that’s remotely on-time.
I grew up in Scottsbluff! So I always have to shout out the home state when given the opportunity haha. Yeah being able to fly out of Lincoln rather than Omaha would be great. It’s “only” an ~hour drive without traffic, but that adds up especially for early or late flights.
Avelo and Breeze both seem to be doing very well with the secondary city business strategy where as their contemporaries Spirit/Frontier for Avelo and Jetblue/Southwest for Breeze seem to be suffering.
The free market is finding a niche in the market which you demonstrated. You’ll have to uncross some of those things off the list you had at the first part of the video.
RPT is a mass transit for 40+ years, not luxury one-in-life travel. Very expensive flying bus. So if you expect bus stop right near your place from where every 10 min you can ride directly to any interesting point... once... may be... next year... it does not work. Take taxi (expensive charter) or go to big interchange. No one will pay for empty buses. Or wait until someone build such an interchange nearby. Sometimes it happens.
Sadly Alevo ended service to my city, so its only American or Delta serving with their respective regional carriers (AA: Air Wisconsin, DL: SkyWest/Endeavor Air)
I don’t see what problem was solved. All these airlines do is serve secondary and 3rd their airports infrequently. It’s just a different strategy who serve less airports with more flights and capacity
Because a 40 min drive is just TOOOOO much. Also , it would invalidate the video. I live in Chelsea NYC… it’s an hour drive to any airport. I’m rich and white… waaaaa why do I have to drive an hour ?!
@@stankythecat6735 Come to think of it, even HPN/White Plains would be just as suitable. There are literally so many airports already in that area so i don’t see how New Haven would justify dedicated service
@@nathaniel1670 I don’t get it either. All joking aside , if I fly mid day and leave manhattan it can be an hour and a half to any airport. The traffic is madness
Of course big corporations were opposed to deregulations because they enjoyed large market shares and deregulation threatened their shares by way of more competition which was going to hurt their bottom lines. Corporations love their crony capitalism. That's why larger corporations support higher taxation because it eliminates the competition for them and prevents new competition from coming into the market.
Someone finally read Hard Landings and mentioned Ted Kennedy in order to make an Airline Deregulation video! As an airplane nerd I very much appreciate it. Enjoyed the video!
Would have made more sense to develop an air service out of bridgeports airport instead of new haven. Tweed sits inside a quiet neighborhood while bridgeport is in a salt marsh. My worry is the nimby people in new haven are going pose a threat to avelos continued existence there. Makes iverall to build a longer runway in bridgeports airport.
Tweed was ready to go and perfect for avelo. the number speak for themselves. Bridgeport airport would require millions of dollars just to get the airport up functional. The nimby are done. its already a done deal
