In the second half of the year 2016, the legacy carriers saw their capacity increase in line with their guidance. Despite the highest capacity growth, American Airlines saw its July traffic shrink by 0.3% year over year. On the other hand, United and Delta’s restricted capacity expansion attracted higher passenger traffic and resulted in an improvement in its load factor. Going forward, we can expect Delta’s plans to expand services in Boston to help attract more traffic in this high-demand area, possibly annexing a part of JetBlue’s 24% market share.
