Re: Avianca (mainline) is restructuring

Is AV doing that poorly at ORD to discontinue all three markets? Didn't BOG recently just start? With UA having their principal hub at ORD one would think UA would be working With AV to build those markets up. What are AV's most profitable markets? BOG-ORD started in November 2018. Surprised by thi...

Re: The rest of Ohio - 2018

Effective Feb 14, one of the CVG-DFW MD80 frequencies will be switched over to an A319. Although its technically a downgauge, hopefully this will allow for some mainline to flow through CVG (as DFW is the only MD80 station). F9 also appears to have added a 2nd daily CVG-DEN on Fridays, hopefully th...

Why does DL currently only have 1 daily nonstop to JFK from CVG, when DL currently has 3 daily nonstops to JFK from IND, 3 daily nonstops to JFK from CMH, and 5 daily nonstops to JFK from ORD? It seems unusual for DL to only have 1 daily nonstop to JFK from CVG with CVG being a DL focus city, with ...

Re: The rest of Ohio - 2018

CVG is getting about a dozen 747's a day, which will probably only grow as more are converted to freighters.

Wow crazy indeed and more jobs! :smile: Do you know if the runway modifications are part of some agreement, or simply CVG's own initiative? 200 ft width runways would give them something that MEM and SDF don't have.

Re: The Rest Of Ohio - 2017

they still sometimes struggle on those routes due to A/C size. So CMH/IND-BOS are somewhate marginal routes for WN? Just curious on the capacity, it is 1-2x daily, right? considering they haven't solidified themselves in the CVG market yet. With B6 on CVG-BOS they at least control a large portion o...

Re: The Rest Of Ohio - 2017

PHX makes a lot of sense for WN's first western destination from CVG. I agree, it will end up going year round. Would this put a damper on any AA service to PHX?

Re: Delta and Westjet agree to form US-Canada JV

How about direct flights into BOS from western Canada?

Re: The Rest Of Ohio - 2017

Wonder about the gate situation. Will they unload at B and tow to A at CVG? If delta just gives up one widebody gate that would change everything because since the WOW flights are so late an airline like Condor could have space to come in with a 6-8 landing departure flight or something like that. ...

Re: WN Schedule Release 3/16/17 Predictions

CVG is probably not going to look like CMH/IND/SDF/CLE/PIT becuase we still have a US3 carrier that maintains a majority share of the market (and based on their actions the last 2-3 years, they have no immediate plans to let go of this position). Routes like BOS/HOU/STL/BNA/MCI do not have any (or ...

Re: WN Schedule Release 3/16/17 Predictions

I don't think CVG will see any additions at this time, for example most CVG-Florida routes have extremely low yields so it's unlikely WN wouldnt want to be the third or fourth carrier in some cases fighting against a legacy and 2 LCC's. 2 ULCCs, flush with restrictions and fees that CVG flyers coul...

I don't think CVG will see any additions at this time I disagree with you. WN has plenty of room to grow, and will need to offer more direct offerings to capture more of the CVG market. I feel that they will add some new destinations after the summer. When WN next announces routes at CVG, it will p...
