Delta has big plans for growing Sea-Tac hub
By Dominic Gates
Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Richard Anderson has ambitious plans to
build up Seattle as the airline’s West Coast international gateway and its
eighth domestic hub.
Delta will not only offer more flights out of Seattle — many of them in
head-to-head competition with Alaska Airlines — but will also base more
jobs here and spend heavily on facility improvements at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport.
......Levine said it’s unpredictable which airline will come out on top.
“This is a very complicated game that is going to be played out,” he said.
“It’s a close call. It’s a real uphill fight for Delta.”

Delta wants 30 gates at Sea-Tac Airport in latest challenge to Alaska
Delta Air Lines wants to almost triple its gates at the Seattle airport to
expand its newest West Coast hub and jumping-off point to Asia, challenging
market leader Alaska Airlines.
“We’re making good progress on our discussion to upgrade the facility and
to turn Seattle into a huge international gateway for Delta,” Chief
Executive Officer Richard Anderson said on a recorded message to employees.
The world’s third-largest carrier is seeking 30 gates at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport in the long term, Anderson said on the call late last
week. The airline currently has 11 gates, an airport spokesman said.
Delta has been confronting Alaska on its home turf for more than a year as
they fight for market share. Atlanta-based Delta has designated Seattle as a
hub from which to offer an increasing number of flights to Asia. That’s
been infringing on Seattle-based Alaska, which currently controls about 40
percent of the traffic from its home airport.
Anderson’s message suggests the carrier is pushing beyond a previously
stated goal. In September, Seattle airport spokesman Perry Cooper said Delta
wanted about 150 flights a day at the airport by 2017. That would require
19 or 20 gates, assuming eight flights a day from each gate, Cooper said.
Delta could potentially operate 240 flights a day if it takes on 30 gates,
Cooper said. Sea-Tac determines how many gates to grant airlines each year
according to formula using their number of outbound seats as of August,
Cooper said.
“That’s one of the estimated opportunities there,” Cooper said by
telephone. “But does that mean that somebody would use that many?”
At 30 gates, Delta’s Seattle operation would still be smaller than United
Airlines’ hub in San Francisco, which often is seen as the dominant hub to
Asia because of that market’s large Asian population. United operates out
of 32 domestic gates at San Francisco International Airport and shares 12
international gates with its partner airlines in the Star Alliance, United
spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said.
Delta has been boosting its domestic flights to and from Seattle to build
connecting traffic, which then could fly to Asia. President Ed Bastian told
analysts in a third-quarter earnings call last month that Delta’s decision
to cut seats from Cincinnati and Memphis, Tennessee, while adding seats to
Seattle is producing solid results.
“Seattle’s domestic performance has significantly exceeded our
expectations as unit revenues increased 6 percent on a 25 percent increase
in capacity, driving margin improvements year- over-year,” Bastian said.

China Southern Flies To San Francisco
China Southern Airlines will grow its trans-Pacific route network with
new service between Guangzhou and San Francisco via Wuhan, the capital
of Hubei province. The carrier will offer the route between
Guangzhou's Baiyun International Airport and San Francisco
International Airport via Wuhan Tianhe International Airport three
times per week from Dec. 16 with 228-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner
aircraft, featuring four seats in first class and 24 in business. San
Francisco becomes the airline's fourth destination in North America,
joining Los Angeles International Airport, Vancouver International
Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. | u**c
