jetblue has flights loaded early september I believe so do PY, AA and BA. I'm not sure if UA has loaded flights for POS yet. Anyone knows if/ when CM will return to POS.

Jump to postSo it seems like WN will be the only operator with the Max 7 type. s It's way too early to conclude that. It's not as if this is going to be the last MAX order or option exercise ever received. I can't really come up with any airline that can utilize the Max 7. American and Delta have plenty of A31...
Jump to postBW also operated Tristars to CGN. BW900/901 operated via BGI on MON THU SAT. BW986/987 POS-UVF-BGI-CGN-MUC-CGN-BGI-UVF-POS. Think it was just once a week... I worked with BW at BGI from 1987-1993 and am still a huge nerd with all these useless details stuck in my head! BW also operated to FRA, ARN ...
Jump to postI think I will add to the feeling that the -700 and -900 are great in many ways (for passengers), but the -200 is just awful in most every way.

Copa has an extensive network through all of the Americas, including sixteen destinations in the Caribbean region (nineteen if you include CARICOM destination cities BZE, GEO, PBM). I am certain that HAV, PUJ, AUA have high demand, but am curious about the newer markets and those less-popular with L...
Jump to postI wonder how this may affect 4C (LATAM Colombia)... Not sure how much 4C depends on AA's flight into Colombia, but I would have to imagine there is some feed at BOG at least. AA has quite a bigger presence in Colombia than DL does...
Jump to postExcellent news. I have always thought that the existing El Dorado is great and could be expanded even further. Also thought that the expense of "El Dorado II" would have been an overly expensive (and unnecessary) undertaking.
Jump to postThree crazy ones in my life: Back in 1997 I flew Comair/Delta Connection BOS-YYZ-CVG-MDW. CRJ-200s between BOS and YYZ and YYZ to CVG. An EMB-120 into MDW. Took all day and the agent at BOS thought I was insane. The worst was last year, December 2017, to get home for Christmas in Barbados (BGI) from...
Jump to postAlthough I doubt it will happen, but I think that Copa could find some use for them?
Jump to postActually, I always heard the MDE route was doing well - in terms of loads. Aeromexico (another SkyTeam member) is doing rather well and is now a daily 737-800 out of MDE. It just seems that DL is a petulant child that if things doing go exactly as they want, they pull out. They have pulled in and ou...

I really wonder if BOG will ever be added to EK's network.
How many countries does CM have left in the Americas to fly to? Suriname and some of the smaller Caribbean islands are all I can think of. CM will need some more E190s if it intends to start doing SKB, DOM etc. Well, now that BGI has finally been announced, I would think other "good choices&qu...
Jump to postCM announces Bridgetown (BGI) from July! I could not be happier... have been waiting for this since 2006, when our government announced that CM would start flights to BGI "soon"...
Also, CM will start service to Fortaleza (FOR) and Salvador (SSA) that same month.
Spectacular! What a great thing to be able to travel back in time and read trip reports like this one...

Jump to postDidn't BWIA fly long haul too, to the UK and Frankfurt I believe, from Trinidad? They had a few long haul aircraft too. When I worked with BW in the late 80s and early 90s, we had 4 L-1011-500 long-haul aircraft. We flew to LHR for years, but added FRA, MUC, CGN, ZRH, ARN in the early 90s. MAN came...
Jump to postThat is great for Avianca, but all I care about is AV resuming the BOG-BGI flight!!! There has to be a some sort of a solution regarding the Venezuelan airspace restriction. Why not let Avianca Ecuador (Aerogal) do the route UIO-BOG-BGI just like they do with AUA and want to do with CUR? That way it...
Jump to postJust thought I would try my luck in getting an answer here... I heard that CM was in Barbados this month looking to finally start a PTY-BGI service. It has been discussed since 2006 and our government has had meetings in Panama most recently in 2011. Now that AV can no longer provide the BOG-BGI fli...

Jump to postAs of the last annual report, AV mentioned the following North American cities as potential destinations (to be served from either the Salvador or Bogotá hub): Atlanta, Denver, Guadalajara, Las Vegas, Monterrey, Montreal, Port of Spain, Saint Martin, and Vancouver. Boston was also on the list, but ...

More hurricane related changes to flight schedules with reduction at SJU, SXM and STT and increases at SDQ and STI as airlines look for somewhere to fly those planes.
Every so often I post the same question: when will CM finally start a PTY-BGI (Barbados) service? There have been many meetings between CM and the Gov't of Barbados over the years and the same news is always reported: CM to start BGI service "soon". In fact, it was first announced in 2006....
Jump to postIs there any news if CM will resume its PTY-SXM flights?
Jump to post[url][/url] I wonder if, sadly, airlines will pull out of SXM. I imagine the hotel infrastructure will take quite a while to get up to what it was pre-Irma. If CM pulls out, for example, I would like to think they would FINALLY see BGI as a viable option... With both GOL and AV failing will CM reall...

Jump to postI am nearly begging for information. Hopefully someone on this thread may be an "insider". What is going to happen with the AV BOG-BGI service? Yes, yes, yes. I know. It was "indefinitely suspended" due to problems with overflying Venezuelan airpspace. However, are any steps bein...

Flights from Spain to Colombia I still see them bypassing Venezuelan air space now. A388 They are not banned. Avianca are welcome to use Venezuelan airspace tonight, should they wish to...
Jump to postI remember when Copa was announcing new destinations nearly every six months. Has the expansion stopped? What will they do with all that space when the new terminal opens? Will CM ever start a service to Barbados from PTY? It was "confirmed" back in 2006. And 2011. And 2012. And 2015.

Just announced that Avianca will suspend all flights to and from Venezuela effective August 16, 2017. AV currently operates BOG-CCS-BOG twice daily and LIM-CCS-LIM once daily. AV states that it is a result of the need for Venezuela to improve various processes to international standards, improve the...
