Airlines You'd Like To See At Your Home Airport?

I'm based at Warsaw (WAW/EPWA), so here goes:

AA - although it has codeshare with LO.
UA - member of Star, so?
AC - same as UA
Iberia - also codeshare with LO
Aer Lingus
TAP Air Portugal
Olympic
Icelandair
Emirates (as part of the ever expanding network  Smile )
the Low costs (Ryanair, Easyjet etc.)
Varig.
JAL or ANA

That's a long wishlist, but with Poland joining the EU next year (most likely), some of these could appear.

FedEx in HGR (Hagerstown, Md) so I would only have to drive one mile to work instead of 85 to BWI.........Just dreaming! I'm sure that would never happen. I am allowed to dream though.

I think BMI would be good for Liverpool. They'd give plenty of domestic destinations (which LPL needs) and perhaps in the future maybe a transatlantic flight.

These would be nice at PIT:

B6
LH
AC (mainline or Tango; just one flight on something bigger than the Jazz we have now)
EI (seasonal weekly service only)
MX (seasonal weekly service to break up the US rule on this route (although, we'll see how TZ and USA3000 can affect prices this winter)

NS

RDU

An international airline or 2 would be nice. And I'm pretty sure we are on the list for Jetblue although we will probably have to wait for the RJs.

I am at Billings, MT, so as you could imagine, the list is fairly extensive.

US Airways
America West (Mainline)
Southwest
American
Alaska
British Airways (Or some foreign carrier. It is an International Airport after all.)

I would like to see Horizon Air at Wichita to serve SEA with their CRJ-700's and B6 with their ERJ-190's. Also, expanded Air Tran flights would be a plus.

Just to expand on your thoughts, Wolfpacker...
...at RDU I think it would be reasonable to look foreward to JetBlue and Frontier...
...and I'd love to see Lufthansa and Virgin or BA come here.

And on the not-so-reasonable list, I'd love to see Alaskan direct to SEA and ANC, and QANTAS.  Big thumbs up

At SDF I would like to see:

America West: to PHX or LAS (CRJ700 or something like that)
Frontier: to DEN (Does Frontier fly small aircraft)
United (already has ORD/sometimes IAD): to DEN (CRJ would be fine)
AirTran: to ATL (717)
Delta (in addition to ATL/CVG/DFW): to SLC (CRJ)
JetBlue: to Midwest hub if it comes to fruition (900)
Southwest: to DAL if they go with smaller aircraft as mentioned on this forum
(Southwest already serves STL/MDW/BHM/BWI/TPA/MCO/are there more?

John

At DFW, I would love to see the following:

Qantas (maybe in the works, who knows)
Air France (rumored to be coming back)
JAL (also rumored to be coming back)
KLM (but they already serve Houston)
Eva Air (passenger service)
Air Canada (mainline)
Mexicana (I can't believe they're not here)
LanChile (they're a oneworld member, maybe it could work)
Singapore Airlines (doubtful)
Thai (they used to be here)
South African (doubtful now that they're aligned with DL)
Aeroflot (keep dreaming)

I'd also love to see BA or someone launch 747 service, but I don't think that's in the picture for the near future.

I would like to see AA back at BHX . . . . Permanently!

I would also like to see:

Virgin Atlantic
South African
Gulf Air (not sure how Emirates would feel about this)
Quantas

I would especially like to see BA introduce heavier equipment (777 / 744). The runway would definitely need lengthening first though!

To be realistic, as opposed to some posts above, I'd like to see Frontier come to Jacksonville. Currently this city of a million people has no service to any point west of Dallas.

For existing airlines, American to Chicago would be nice, and could make it feasible to fly American to the northeast (after Nov 1 will just have 2 x STL, 3 x DFW, 3 x MIA).

I really want BA to fly to EMA, it'd make my home airport a lot more busier. But there is probabaly too much competition from the low-cost carriers like Easyjet and Bmibaby.

I hope you do not have to wait for B6's RJ's as they are not getting any! The 190's are considered mainline jets and not regionals.

Form Gulfport/Biloxi (GPT):

Northwest: Replace a couple of CRJ flts w/DC9/ARJ equip.to provide needed seats and first class service. Add 3x daily to DTW, and a daily frequency to MSP.

Delta: Move in a couple of mainline flts, more seats on Rjs to ATL. DFW 3x daily form weekend only. daily frequency to CVG and MCO.

Continetal: Up at least another flt to 737 equip. Add daily EWR flts. 2 to 3 daily on RJ w/ 737 on high demand flts.

Airtran: Move mid morning ATl flt to earlier departure time, fill that mid morning void w/ a frequency to BWI. re-launch DFW flt w/ start of foucus city. Sat flt to MCO. Third flt in evening to ATL.

American: Daily flts on Eagele 145, CRJ-700s to DFW. 1x daily to MIA, and 3x daily to ORD. Upgrade from Eagle to mainline as needed.

Frotier: Could use a daily flt to provide low fare connecting service to Rockies and West coast.

American West: Daily flt to PHX and LAS, these too could rotate days if needed.

SWA: No real firm ideas, except this one. COME TO GPT OVER MOB AND PNS!

could see charter oppurtunites for ATA.

Prehaps some scheduled Spirit flts down the road

International:

Some form of weekly or a few fequencies a week to Canada and Centeral America/Mexico.

Maybe a weekly flt on BA/AF. Pax would come form all around region.

I'll be starting a more indepth form on GPT needed services sometime this weekend. If you have anything positive to say about it,please do, if not,keep your hole closed and fingers off the keyboard.

I consider both ISP and JFK "home" airports. Sticking with realistic new service, I'd like to see the return of AA and DL mainline at ISP, maybe US mainline too. JFK's a tough call as it already is served by just about any carrier that would ever come to the region. I'm not counting those which serve EWR or LGA instead, like SK, TP or F9. I would suppose the possible new ones at JFK might include Emirates, Thai, Kenya, maybe BMI.

Im based in MSP so we have pretty much nothing except for NW. Id like to see British Airways or Virgin, Qantas, and maybe Singapore for International, all 3 will never be. and domestic it would be cool to get Jet Blue. Rumor is once the new runway is completed they might come in. that would be nice. I have benefits on them but never use them since its easier to fly direct

In Tucson, would love to see JetBlue. Continental used to do seasonal nonstops to EWR, JetBlue would be a welcome addition to JFK and maybe LGB/OAK as well. Aerocalifornia would be great to see here again. How about Aloha, serving HNL with a stop in SNA or BUR? Internationally, the only possiblilty for service would be south to Mexico- I mentioned Aerocalifornia already- but where's Mexicana? They'd be welcome here too.

ANYTHING good at Dunsfold Big grin. After all it is my HOME airport  Smile/happy/getting dizzy

Okay my home Intl airport is Gatwick and I'd love to see i few more Asian carriers there, Garuda being the only one (as far as can think of). Maybe a Malaysian or Singapore (So long as they don't bring the B777 - Too many of them at Gatwick). For BA to put back ALL the long hauls they took from Gatwick to operate from Heathrow would almost be a dream for me. I highly miss seeing the good old BA B747-200/400's at Gatwick. Also for Virgin to put back the two Newark flights and the Miami and Boston flights they took out from Gatwick.

So generally i'd like any of these at LGW:

Malaysian (B744)
Singapore (B744 or A340)
Cathay Pacific (B744 or A346/A343)

Very unlikely but still, maybe if LGW's second runway plan goes ahead we might be seeing some more long haul carriers in the airport. I hope so anyway Big grin
