Airlines Quotations | Page 2

We are happy to welcome Spirit to DFW International Airport. Spirit will add to an already impressive grouping of airlines to offer a great service at an affordable price. I can't wait and I know the public will be looking forward to the new service that is on its way.

This nation has been at war, ... Airlines are the front line of that war. We wouldn't think of contracting out our army to protect us against an open foreign invasion. We shouldn't think of contracting out responsibility of defending the internal United States against covert attacks.

We still encourage the airlines to continue with the voluntary 15% fuel rationing where possible.

We promised that we would be lowering our season ticket prices and we are happy to deliver. Our entire organization is excited that we were able to reduce season ticket prices on every seat at American Airlines Center. This makes it easier for all fans to afford tickets.

The overhead must be reduced. With many airlines the sales runs naturally over travel agencies, and that means an enormous expenditure.

We are not offering it or marketing it, but we are having discussions with airlines about it to see whether it's a marketable airplane.

What we have seen is degrees of rescue aid, and what I think we will continue to see is support for airlines being perhaps allowable as long as they can show they are making progress and not interrupting a process of consolidation.

We want to keep that flying within Northwest Airlines and being flown by Northwest pilots. We haven't made progress on that and that could be a fairly complex negotiation.

The demand by our institutions was substantial, but we are pleased to work with the American Airlines Center on this public sale. It has resulted in some quality seats being available to the general public.

When Concorde went out of service the business aircraft operators and the airlines thought: we will find a market niche here and we are going to exploit it,

This whole miles-for-merchandise mini-movement is being forced onto the airlines by their own inability to make good on the promise of free award seats.

There is a big glaring hole here. The largest air travel market in the world is North America, ... It's not like people don't want to use it. The airlines are struggling to figure out the business model and the tradeoff. You add weight to the airplane. Will this and the product cost be paid off during a set time frame?

We just were talking about what a great time it is for the American Airlines Center to have two teams to go really far in the playoffs. This is the first time we've got both teams going well at the same time.

The Registered Traveler Program is a significant step forward in the effort to balance aviation security and traveler convenience. It's a win-win proposition for consumers, businesses, airports, airlines and for the government. While travelers enjoy a more relaxing, less time consuming security screening process, the government can focus its security resources on more likely potential threats.

We always are in conversations with Southwest Airlines to expand their operations at Sky Harbor. With Southwest having the largest single operation at Sky Harbor, we talk with them constantly.

Until the airlines are able to guarantee the bags are going to be at baggage claim within a certain period of time, the tendency is going to be to carry on.

There is no point in saving Northwest Airlines if a significant number of our members lose their jobs.

What a lovely honor it is to have Spirit Airlines dedicate a new plane to our islands. We are most appreciative and wish Spirit Airlines wonderful success.

Usually, history suggests that the others would have to match their pricing to be competitive with the given market. Discount airlines in the past have caused that to take place, and I don't see any reason that this wouldn't cause the same adjustment within the marketplace.

United Airlines will continue to provide customers with the same experience and level of service they have come to expect, ... We stand by our commitment to provide customers with convenient schedules, quality onboard services and the most extensive route network in the U.S. and abroad.

United shutting down doesn't necessarily fix the problem for other airlines, but it helps a lot. It does divert a fair amount of revenue to other airlines -- United carries about 17 percent of the nation's traffic.

We appreciate and admire the courageous efforts of U.S. military personnel around the world to keep our country safe and strong. And we recognize the great sacrifice that their family members also make. As a result, American Airlines is pleased to extend these special offers to military members and their loved ones.

We've also cut five other witnesses ... that were going to testify from the various airlines so that there would be no issue about taint based upon Ms. Martin's contact with their attorneys.

We know Canadian airlines fly well on their own, ... But we can help them really soar by raising the ownership limit to 49 percent.

Different airlines to a better job than others. They all kind of know their laws, and the problems come in, I think, more with attitude and poor service.

Complaints on the part of passengers are at an all time high, and I'm not sure that the trend in American airlines today is healthy for or beneficial to the American passenger.

Continental Airlines illustrates how IT initiatives are driven by the business need for remote user productivity improvements and IT requirements for simplification and cost reduction. Expand easily overcomes performance hurdles that left unchecked can severely limit the successful implementation of IT initiatives and impact bottom-line results. Our Compass was strategically designed to enable the network and power the end user.

Customers will now be able to easily compare prices for themselves between British Airways and the airlines offering lower standards of service.

Customers don't like their cable TV providers, most airlines or the IRS, either.

Twenty-five years ago I was traveling from Chicago to New York on a United Airlines flight. Went to the bathroom, washed my hands, soapy water, the ring slipped off, put it on the sink .

When I read that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had disappeared - a state-of-the-art Boeing 777, said to be an incredibly safe way to travel - I waited patiently for the chance to learn what happened.

assure me and the public that Northwest Airlines is meeting all necessary standards of reliability and safety.

While they stood, the Mommy said if you ever want to be the first person to board an airplane and if you want to travel with your pet, you can do both, easy. The airlines have to let crazy people carry their animals on their laps. The government says so.This is more important information to live by.

Today you have Southwest Airlines in a reactive mode opening up cities they probably would not have opened up.

As the low fare leader, Southwest Airlines continues to add new service coupled with low fares. Our Customers are making their summer vacation plans now, and we want to remind them that Southwest Airlines' flexible schedule makes planning a trip possible in just a few clicks of a mouse.

The sector has been pretty terrible up to this point, even without the industry shutdown. So what has happened now is like piling on to an industry that was already down. Barring sharp gains in the overall market, and if the markets goes down, then the airlines may well be down more than the overall market on a percentage basis.

These days, you don't expect to have fun flying; you just don't want to be hurt. Southwest Airlines does have a policy of not abusing the flying public, and we do appreciate that.

This segment, which is focused on the business class and people who don't want to stop three or four times during a flight, promises high margins and is an area airlines want to appeal to.

There are a few scattered minor delays as the airlines play catch-up with the flights that were delayed from this morning, but by this evening we should be back on track and tomorrow should be business as usual.

When we look at cost savings that are available to Alaska Airlines at this point, there is not a lot of low hanging fruit left.

These airlines are investing in the future and will have a definite edge on their competitors when it comes to bringing this technology to the market,

They actually give away more upgrades than almost all other airlines combined.

It would be entirely unfair to the other airlines in the European Union to continue in this fashion because they are respecting the rules,

It would be wonderful if the TSA wanted to use their dogs with their handlers on our system, but unfortunately that is not an option. You don't see the operational people from airlines handling explosive sniffing dogs. TSA handles it for them.

It would be much better if the airlines did not own this.

What American Airlines proposes to do for TWA, for the 20,000 employees worldwide, is to buy the assets and keep it operating.

What are the practical benefits of getting dinged by six different airlines on your computer at the same time?

We've raised millions of dollars for this worthy cause over the past 21 years through Celebrity Ski. All of us at American Airlines are dedicated to supporting our communities, and that commitment from our employees and partners shows in long-running efforts like this one.

We've received the information from Southwest Airlines and will provide it to the senator as part of his efforts to hear from all sides on this important issue.

What took the airlines so long to file?

We already have seen the serious congestion and frustrating delays that passengers face when one of the major airlines has labor difficulties. I shudder -- I shudder to think of the impact on the flying public if a merged United-US Airways would face a work stoppage.

The orders this year are ... an endorsement by the airlines of the world. What's being validated here is the Boeing Commercial Airplanes strategy for the last six years. That's the incredible story of 2005.

There is no international agreement to introduce emissions trading for global aviation and we do not want the EU scheme to be sidelined by international disputes or for EU airlines competitiveness to be jeopardized.

The other airlines by virtue of the bankruptcy court have reduced their labor costs below where ours is today. That represents a competitive problem.

The other airlines have not been making significant compromises. United Airlines certainly didn't. It's hard to imagine that Delta would cave, but who knows?

Both Air India and Indian Airlines need a massive infusion of aircraft and equity to see they are able to compete in the world.

Both airlines believe that by working together we can deliver substantial public benefits, adding real value for customers and shareholders, boosting tourism and enhancing the further employment and investment potential of both airlines.

Eventually, airlines have to buy airplanes. They become economically inefficient because of fuel consumption.

We want a red light or a green light from the government, ... We shouldn't be relying on private companies and the airlines to authenticate background checks.

We want a red light or a green light from the government ... We shouldn't be relying on private companies and the airlines to authenticate background checks.

Thanks to that liberalization, 13 new airlines entered the Moroccan market, but that liberalization was carried out within the limits of bilateral cooperation with European states and has showed its limits.

Profits are elusive. Airlines either need to raise fares, or the price of oil has to come down.

Pricing is dynamic in this industry and we will price our flights based on our competition - both other airlines as well as other means of transport like the railways.

Northwest, Delta it seems so many airlines are in this situation. It's not in our control, and there is not a whole lot to do except carry on.

Extending emissions trading to the aviation sector will limit these emissions and ensure that aviation, like all other sectors, contribute to reducing the harmful greenhouse gases. Through emission trading, airlines will be able to do so at the least possible costs.

With the airlines reducing schedules, we've already seen that cascade back on airline manufacturers like Boeing. And that has cascading effects on hundreds, if not thousands, of vendors who supply parts and components to Boeing.

but other than that, the airlines are doing this on a volunteer basis. The crews on board are all volunteers.

Sacrifices by our employees, strong revenue performance and the benefit of our fuel hedging program enabled us to be one of only a couple of major airlines that posted a significant adjusted profit for 2005.

Denver has been a missing link in Southwest's system for too long, and we've known the demand for Southwest Airlines service is strong in Colorado. Today, we're not only celebrating the start of our new service, but we're pleased to announce two new destinations that Southwest Airlines will serve nonstop from Denver International Airport.

Once the government approves the deal, the two airlines will be merged and continue their operations as Jet Airways.

Southwest Airlines Customers are traveling at record rates, and they're asking for more flights. We're pumping up our service to get ready for spring and summer travel.

Southwest Airlines has been serving New Orleans for 27 years. We are part of this community, and we will continue to be a partner in the rebuilding of New Orleans tourism .

Southwest Airlines is making a commitment to Hispanic youth through this education award. We want to help students as they accomplish their dreams of attending college and becoming teachers. We believe it's important to prepare this generation of students whose goal is to prepare many future generations.

Southwest Airlines recognizes that tourism and convention business has been, and will continue to be, a major stimulus for the New Orleans economy. We hope that other corporations and organizations also will choose New Orleans as a destination for their conventions and conferences.

Southwest Airlines reconsiders its position for the good of the region.

Some people worry that we're going to make the same mistakes that Canadian Airlines did, and I say, 'No, we're not, because we have a much lower cost structure.' And it's not frills that we'll be adding. It's convenience.

Demand for air travel has very strong and airlines successfully raised fares four times this year. When you look at airline fares, you'll know why airlines are doing so well.

I've long loved emerging markets airlines because they usually sell at bargain prices. The troubled history of developed market airlines unfairly taints these stocks. In the emerging world, they're growth stocks.

As our service has expanded to more airlines and destinations worldwide, passengers have enjoyed the benefits of airborne Internet access. Yet, through our customer research, passengers also have told us they want simplified pricing based on the time they are connected and more options for how to pay for it. We've listened closely and are making changes that provide added flexibility at price points more favorable to our customers.

Bankruptcy is allowing airlines to emerge with a clean slate, but it's bad news for workers. Pensions will be affected, and it will mean lower wages and probably fewer jobs.

A year from now, I think all airlines will have these. I think hotels and resorts will offer these all over the world because it costs very little for them to post these on the Internet.

You're starting to see the airlines turn around, they are going to be a good buy again,

The mistake everyone makes is that they do not do figure out what benefits they want from airlines first, some are more generous with upgrades than others.

All airlines have been reexamining their IT strategies and expenditures and strategies. US Airways is certainly going to be watched with great interest.

Alaska Airlines takes this extremely seriously, and we are aggressively investigating this situation to understand the root cause and to take additional action to prevent this from reoccurring.

As a result, several customers have requested deferral of deliveries out of 1999 and 2000, and the company is working with the airlines to reschedule deliveries.

As fuel prices go up, airlines have ratcheted back down in terms of their ability to make a profit.

American Airlines apologizes if anyone was made to feel uncomfortable by the comments of this pilot.

American Airlines has experienced record-setting load factors each month since January of last year. So we're very busy.

American Airlines is benefiting from much improved pricing and load factors, particularly in the U.S. domestic market, which are helping to offset very high fuel prices.

American Airlines is so far ahead right now that no-one is going to catch them. Southwest had 52 straight quarters of profit. It doesn't mean all airline stocks are bad. Some of these low cost airlines have a bright future.

This growth story is attracting a lot of investors and new international airlines are trying to ride the boom in India.

This includes isolating countries where air safety is a concern, publicly naming unsafe air destinations, airlines and grounding aircraft.

They're very good cost cutters. It's obviously a pretty tough time for airlines given the way fuel prices have gone up, they've done a pretty good job managing it.

Our agreement basically says that if they want to buy Reno Airlines, and if they want to operate it, that they bring the pilots under the American Airlines seniority list, and pay them benefits.

Other airlines have found they've grown faster than they could successfully manage. When you add that much capacity, you have a lot of risk during market downturns. You can't stop paying bills for new airplanes just because passengers don't show up.

Our Customer's demand for travel to and from New Orleans is strong, and we are pleased to support New Orleans by adding more flights. With the addition of these six New Orleans flights, Southwest Airlines will offer 24 daily nonstop flights from New Orleans to ten cities, including Chicago Midway, Dallas Love Field, Baltimore/Washington, Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood, Houston Hobby, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix, and Tampa Bay.

FedEx is a big drag today, Merck is down, steel is down, airlines are down, it's all weighing on the transports,

Even Cathay expects to have its flight pretty much back in the air at the end of next month. And I suspect airlines in general will be reducing the level of discounts over the next month or so.

European citizens will all be able to consult the blacklist of airlines that do not meet European safety criteria.
