Henry Harteveldt Quotations

I can't believe Boeing is going to sit out.

It looks like the airlines are going to get free rein to do whatever they want. Buying an airfare is confusing enough now. This could make it even more confusing.

By allowing Delta to merge with Continental or Northwest, we would have three extremely large airlines accounting for 75 percent of market. But it would be harder for American and United to dominate Delta if Delta were to merge.

Buying an airfare is confusing enough now. This could make it even more confusing.

This will cost revenue for airlines serving the whole region because people will now be spending whatever discretionary income they have on home repair, not travel.

Group travel is very much a nascent part of online travel.

There is categorically no consumer harm being done right now.

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?

It's incumbent on American to respond to this. It's possible that American will try to up the bidding for US Airways.

Yahoo is definitely on the right track. The move is very logical and very relevant.
