Air Service Notes
-PSP 2023 seat capacity continues to be well ahead of 2019 and 2022 .
-Airlines are continuing to return pre-pandemic routes, but with less pilots on staff.
-Pilot shortage is causing airlines to reduce frequencies on some routes to return others.
-Example: One city’s route that was 4x daily is moved to 2x or 3x daily allowing an airline to use those flights to
return another route at 1x or 2x daily.
-Airlines are still catching up with over-capacity investments in some markets.
-Seat capacity adds in 2022 were more than some markets could absorb at the time.
-American and United both reported very good summers for PSP.
-PSP market maturity is still in progress for Southwest.
-They are happy with PSP as a market.
-Fine tuning their seasonal and year-round service patterns.
-MDW was not able to return this season due to a lack of pilots.
