Searched but didn't quite see it mentioned. As a former charter person dealing with professional football teams I can say teams used larger aircraft due to the amount of equipment they bring. Quite a few cabinets, lifting equipment, stationary bikes and the like. This type of equipment cannot be pl...
Jump to postWhat a spacious ride! Anyone else have something so lavish? The UA 764 or DL 763's can't hold a candle to that. I guess you'd have to be 6-0 to get a ride like that...we may never know in the CLE. I know Boeing has delivered a 747-8i as a BBJ - I saw it being built when I toured the manufacturing f...

Jump to postDoes anyone have a clue about flight iAero Airways SWG4005 on Saturday? Seems like an odd charter, but maybe something related to the Browns game given the return yesterday?

CLE website still lists Sun Country as an airline. I saw an odd tail parked at the end of A when I drove by last evening. SY8114 from GPT, then off to FNT. Casino charter I suppose. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8114/history/20210704/1950Z/KGPT/KCLE https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8...

I was fortunate enough to get a jumpseat ride on an SN AVRO100 from MXP to BRU. The flight crew spoke Flemish natively and had some good-natured fun with me when I thanked them for the opportunity in French. They spoke English to me, Flemish to each other, English to Eurocontrol and, as I recall, a ...

Jump to postThe complaints have nothing to do with design, comfort or taste but rather adverse physical reactions to the uniforms themselves, most likely due to the chemical treatments of the fabrics being sourced for use in the new designs. The below link gives a synopsis of the issue, along with pictures of t...
Jump to postLooking back at route announcements for 2016/2017, some were as late as mid October. There will have to be an announcement coming because they have yet to set a launch date for Montreal service. In other news: United is adding a one-time nonstop flight to Las Vegas for CES 2020. It will depart Janu...
Jump to postMight be a dumb question, but why charter a B744 if you can fit on a 321? Beyond the staggering amount of equipment, I believe there is a clause in the CBA that flights over a certain length get widebody aircraft. Teams will often truck equipment to regional games, thereby enabling use of smaller a...
Jump to postUSA3000 started as a scheduled charter for Apple Vacations and flew a small fleet of A320s to the Caribbean and Mexico until the 2009 economic crisis and the aircraft needing heavy maintenance. Disney could certainly do the same and provide nonstop - or VIP - options to their parks.
Jump to postA union may have a better chance given this crew rest issue as well as the toxicity issues being experienced with the new uniforms.

Interesting possibility. Given the rumors about Etihad starting a partnership with United, might CLE get a Cleveland Clinic Express flight to AUH?
Jump to postWhat few seem to remember is that much of BKL is built on landfill that is not really suitable for development in its present condition. I was all over the facility during my years with the Grand Prix and was surprised at the amount of settling.

If I'm not mistaking a shuttle bus was also used at CLE during the CO international flight days.. Yes, CO knocked a hole, errr door, in the wall and built a wooden ramp that enabled passengers to use a shuttle bus to baggage claim and avoid the TSA nonsense. Unfortunately, the KCLE customs and immi...

On another note I'm sure many of you saw on the PD website that Wow just announced it's $99 fare to KEF for late summer/fall. Of note, CLE/CVG/DFW/JFK haven't been extended past October. Other cities of similar size to CLE or new to WOW such as ORD, PIT, STL, and DTW look to be year round, though I...
Jump to postI would certainly participate in a group effort. As for newer terminals in other cities, remember PIT built the newer terminals for USAirways and they pulled out shortly after. I wish the Jackson Administration had the vision to build a business case to improve KCLE but I just don't see much beyond ...

It looks like N663DN flew in to KCLE from BWI on Thursday and did spend the weekend at CLE before the long ferry flight from CLE to BKL this afternoon, where they will pick up the Yankees and flight them to LGA.

Jump to postSo anyone think CLE has a shot at LH to FRA or the coveted year-round to SEA on AS next week? LH no. The amounts of incentives I have heard they want from mid sized markets are crazy. If CLE gets something to FRA it would be Condor. Condor is now part of the Thomas Cook Group so I do not know how m...

DL was VERY close to starting CLE-CDG 752 service within the past couple of years as AF liked the traffic they got from CO back in the day. Some sort of logistical issue got in the way.
