Okay, this is interesting. So there's this new company, Northeast Airlines and Travel, Inc, planning to bring back the Northeast Airlines name. I remember reading about the old Northeast Airlines that got absorbed by Delta back in '72. But here's the kicker - they're launching in 2027 with zero passenger seats.
It sounds like they'll be focusing on cargo initially, which is probably smart given the current demand for freight services. Passenger airlines are super competitive right now, and maybe they figure they can make a name for themselves in the cargo world first? Or maybe they plan to gradually add passenger services later?
Honestly, I think it's pretty cool they're reviving an old name. But starting with cargo is an interesting move. Wonder if they'll stick with this model or eventually shift to carrying passengers too.
Does anyone have more info on what their long-term plans might be? And how do you all feel about airlines reviving old brands? Is it a smart move or just a nostalgia play?
