Has there been any new information on expanded routes out of SLC with the new terminal coming? With the cuts to the ski destinations will there be chances of opening up places like IND, SDF, etc. to daily SLC service? I live in SDF and have a house in PSP as well. Getting there in the summer is toug...
Jump to postMy SDF wish-list in order of how likely they are to occur: 1) SDF-JFK on DL 2) SDF-SLC on DL (maybe SDF-PVU on MX?) 3) SDF-SEA on AS 4) SDF-PHX on AA It does seem like MX has really cooled on SDF after the initial adds. I don't expect any additional MX service for quite a while. Also, what are the ...
Jump to postSDF - SLC on Delta has long been rumored by the staff at SDF. They always say the issue is at SLC due to gate space and once the new terminals are built we would likely get a flight. I've flown IND-SLC on an E175 so it's possible for this aircraft to make the trip.
Jump to postSDF is n the same boat, we have PHX non-stop on WN but no AA. AA just added SDF - LAX, seems good but probably misses a lot of connection opportunities.
Jump to postWhile there are some great markets here for SLC (PIT, CMH, etc.) there is a new station manager at SDF who is trying to get SLC service for us as well. It seems when the MD-88 retires that Delta would have to upsize aircraft to Atlanta as the C-Series is smaller or to create other options for connec...
Jump to postHas anybody made a public iCloud Shared Photo Stream work for this?
Jump to postWith the MD-88 fleet being retired it will be interesting to see what cities like SDF (my home) get for service. We get mostly MD-88 from ATL today and sometimes 737-700, 737-800, MD-90, A320 and A319. We've never seen the 752 or A321 in regular service may just be too big.
Fun days ahead.
Still looking for the most updated details, does not appear to be a UPS jet but a carrier that may be flying cargo for UPS. Checking flights from our hub at SDF shows a Shorts flying the SDF-CRW route.
It appears to be an AIr Cargo Carriers flight that arrived at 6:55AM and went off of the runway.
According to news outlets there has been a crash of a UPS cargo aircraft at Yeager.

Delta is experimenting with a lot of point to point routes lately. They have many O&D based routes at BOS/CVG/RDU/MCO/DCA/MIA/BDL, and I expect to see them try more of them going forward. While DL has focused on RDU, I think this is equally about BNA as DL has added a nonstop to SEA, CRJ-900's ...
Jump to postWN already serves this market and when US had their hub there I thought it was an underserved potential market and connection point.
Does anybody know if AA will try to link up other markets like SDF to PHX?
