Just noticed that the current Google Maps satellite view of SFO shows every gate at every terminal empty. I've flown in and out of SFO many times, driven by it hundreds of times and spotted there scores of times and never seen it without some planes at the gates. I'm surprised that this could ever h...
Jump to postAn excerpt from the link shows the numbers are for 2017, not 2018. Sorry sfjeff! The airport announced its record enplanements on Tuesday, saying 2017 saw 725,284 passengers depart from XNA. That was a 3.7 percent increase over 2016, and it was the first time the airport eclipsed 700,000. Sorry abo...
Jump to post2018 saw a new record at Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport with more than 725,000 boardings. Impressive for an airport that was derided as a boondoggle when it was under construction in the late 90s, to the point of having a segment about it on 20-20. Here is a link about 2018 at XNA: http://www.n...

I wish them success, and it appears that they will have it. However, it seems rather redundant to put "international" in the name as there are very few airports in Spain that are not international. MAD, BCN, and AGP, to name a few, don't bother.
Jump to postKind of interesting to compare Hawaii to the Canary Islands, where almost all inter-island flights are operated with AT7s.
Jump to postQatar's new seasonal service between Doha and Málaga began yesterday.

Last week I flew EasyJet from AGP to SXF and was surprised that we took off from runway 30. From what I have seen, it appears that this newer runway is rarely used. I recall reading that this is because of the convergence of the takeoff paths when using 12/30 and 13/31 simultaneously when taking off...
Jump to postMy first airline flight was in 1969 from Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Dallas Love Field, with stops at El Dorado, AR and Tyler, TX. It was on a Convair 600. It was a great flight. I always loved the sound of the Rolls-Royce Dart engines. The second part of that particular trip was from DAL to ABQ, with s...
Jump to postTurkish will give you a hotel room if your connection is more than 10 hours, which can make going thousands of miles out of the way a bit more palatable, and the fares and service are excellent. I have taken advantage of this twice: IAH-IST-AGP and AGP-IST-SFO. Of course, Málaga is too far to the so...
Jump to postWhat about Malaga????? Why not Sevilla? AGP handles more than three times as many passengers as SVQ and the Costa del Sol is a very popular summer destination for people from the Middle East. Also, Sevilla is much hotter than Málaga in the summer. The average daily high in Sevilla in July is 36ºC/9...
Jump to postAM has thrown everything from mainline to jungle jets at MSY and it never took. Sure, if we're to call a DC9 and ERJ.... "everything." Their last attempt launched the same month as the H1N1 crisis began in MEX, so no real surprise when it didn't last. It also ignores that TW successfully ...
Jump to postFrom what I can see, it appears that United Express operates flights DEN-JMS-DVL-DEN or DEN-DVL-JMS-DEN, combining two small cities with one flight. However, I think there are at least two roundtrips a day from DEN to each airport, one with JMS first and one with DVL first. The point is to carry pas...
Jump to postI wouldn’t rule out PIT. We’ve seen BA have decent success on untapped transatlantic routes with no competition such as AUS & MSY. Kind of a non sequitur though, considering that PIT already has 3 or 4 transatlantic nonstops as it is. Does it? To where? Delta to CDG (seasonal), Condor to Frankf...

AA commits CRJs to HVN...that means I finally can look to flying out of HVN! I hate Dash-8s! You will love the Dash 8 once you have flown the CRJ a few times. Worst passenger aircraft ever. The Ford Trimotor beats the CRJ for comfort. My guess is that you never had an opportunity to fly on an Embra...
Jump to postThose flights must have been quite challenging for ground crews. For example, on a flight ATL-MEI-JAN-MLU-SHV-DFW, at each stop the baggage handlers would have to look through all the bags to find those for their station. Obviously the ATL baggage handlers would have grouped the bags by destination,...
Jump to postNorthwest Airlink used to fly 6 SF340 flights a day to XNA in three groups, with each group being two flights 20 minutes apart, to connect to their three banks in MEM. Later they used BAe 146s (I think) and mainline NW DC9s but only had three flights.
Jump to postNot nearly the same. I am quite sure the poster is saying that the code BE was once used by BEA and is now used by Flybe, not that BEA has become Flybe. Exactly. BEA became Flybe. But Ozark did not become Asiana. I had it kind of sideways. I did not know that BEA became Flybe. However, I do know th...

Jump to postAt this point my best bet are EK or ANA for domestic configuration only (if they decide to use them to replace the ageing 773Es.)
