Why not have remote parking and buses to transport passengers to customs? Most other global airports do this.

UAL Corp also owns United Services (www.unitedsvcs.com) that provides ground handling, maintenance and much more.

Don't forget that UA has retained an investment advisory firm in New York to explore it's strategic options. I wouldn't expect anything until they have completed their analysis.

I have stayed at the airport Marriott a few times and it has decent views of the airport. May want to bring some binocs for extra close-ups, but you can get a good view of things from this property.

I don't think the details have been released yet. I think there was some mention to upgrading international products first however.

The second one is Allegro. I think they're still banned from flying in the US now. I believe they fly a handful of routes in Mexico.

Nice posting, I like your summary. I just want to hear why Kerry Skeen rejected everyone's input as to the airline and how it was run. So far I have seen few apologies or reasons why he wouldn't listen to others.

I think the press release about them ceasing operations on Thursday pretty much explains how the auction went.

This comes up every so often. From what I recall, they park near the Luxor and fly government employees to a remote worksite in the desert. Might be CIA or a military test site.

What does Delta use their hangar's for? It sounds like it is rarely used by them, but what do they use it for when there are planes?
