Airport passenger counts down
Passenger traffic at Mobile Regional Airport fell nearly 15 percent in June compared with the same month in 2007 and is off 7.5 percent for the first six months of the year, a much steeper decline than nationwide or at neighboring airports. The drop came as airlines added more flights and larger planes in June, meaning some carriers saw their Mobile-bound planes only half-full on average. Airlines have announced that they will cut three weekday round-trips to Mobile after Labor Day, but officials warned Monday at a Mobile Airport Authority meeting that at least one more daily round-trip could be in jeopardy. "Fuel prices increased, fares increased and passengers are really looking for the best value," Aviation Director Thomas Hughes said. American Eagle, which added a fifth flight to and from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport as of June 1, has now warned that its planes are too empty to turn a profit, Hughes said. The airline's planes to and from Mobile, including a once-daily round trip to Chicago that will end after Labor Day, were 67 percent full in June, according to airport figures. "The fifth flight to Dallas is not as strong as it needs to be right now," Hughes said. The Air Transport Association says that with the current high price of jet fuel, the average plane needed to be 83.5 percent full to make a profit in the first quarter of 2008. Nationwide, the average plane was 77.2 percent full during that period. American Eagle had 21.3 percent of Mobile passengers in June. A subsidiary of AMR Corp., based in Fort Worth, Texas, the American Airlines regional carrier said last month that it would cut flights between Chicago and almost all Gulf Coast airports, part of a company-wide cost-cutting drive. Delta has said it will cut the number of round trips to Atlanta from seven to six after Labor Day and reduce its seat total on Mobile-Atlanta planes by 21 percent. Most of those seats were added at the start of summer. Mark Sixel, an airline consultant, said disappearing passengers are being driven away by high prices as airlines try to raise enough money to stay solvent "It's a fare issue at this point," said Sixel, president of the Sixel Consulting Group, based in Eugene, Ore. "As fares go up, you tend to make flying a less attractive alternative." Sixel said that business-oriented markets such as Mobile have seen the greatest fare increases. Markets that have discount carriers or and cater to leisure travelers, such as Gulfport and Pensacola, benefit because airlines "have to be much less aggressive or that traffic will disappear," he said. Traffic has fallen much less at Pensacola Regional Airport, 0.4 percent so far this year, while the number of fliers to and from Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport has risen 18.6 percent in the first six months of 2008. Worldwide, passengers on U.S. airlines rose 0.4 percent in the first five months of 2008, the Air Transport Association said, thanks to a 5.4 percent growth of international travelers. Domestic traffic fell 0.3 percent.
