About this episode

The episode discusses the evolving transpacific strategies of North American airlines, particularly focusing on Delta's recent moves and the competitive landscape across the Pacific.

Transatlantic strategies are pretty well set for North American carriers, but transpacific strategies are definitely not. Delta seems to be making its move now, though Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder disagree on whether this should have happened earlier. This week, we talk about that and all the airlines that are trying to cement their place across the Pacific. Thank you to SkyGo for sponsoring this week's episode.
