Considering the weather is absolutely gorgeous in BZE today, I am sure the mechanics would much rather be working there than in say Goose Bay!
Jump to postNo, I'm not saying Mexico is a bad place, but Belize appears to be a very attractive substitute. Anybody with better local knowledge is more than welcome to shoot me down. p.s. Huge thx to the OP for spelling out BZE for us all; we could do with much more of that. IMO Belize City has a 150 room Rad...

Jump to postGood show! This was out of the blue. Nice move AM.
For the record CTM is 100 Miles and almost 4 hours from BZE when you factor in the border transit.
BBJs show up at NBAA (in MCO & LAS) from time to time
Jump to postnot to go off topic but I have always thought CM could use a bunch of E175 in potential smaller volume markets from PTY....places like RTB/FRS/BON/MID and to smaller Caribbean destinations like UVF, GCM and PTP.
Jump to postMID ATL didn’t last long at all.
Jump to postPeople always complain, no matter what. They have no idea what it costs to run an airport or an airline. CM is an integral part of the PTY economy. If CM ever left, those same people would be complaining about the lack of service options at PTY and yes, they would still be complaining about the (pro...

Looks like the Antilles are about to get another storm. though nowhere on the scale of 2017, prayers to all.
A while ago there was much debate on whether it is a good idea to operate regional jets in the Caribbean. Now InterCaribbean and WesternAir have both acquired the ERJ145 to use on their route networks. What everyones opinion on those acquisitions. CM has operated Regional jets in the Caribbean for ...
Jump to postSome Caribbean aviation news: Also, prior to the PTY-BGI inaugural flight, CM has changed their scheduled a/c into BGI from the e190 to the Boeing 737-7/8 until August 28th. This could be a result from the huge advertisement efforts happening over in Panama, as some colleagues reported. https://www...

Looks like B6 or AS's expansion in Central America is now more difficult. It is becoming a very crowded maketp...
Jump to postToo many times we see people say things on an antidotal basis but it just doesn't hold up.

Jump to postavi8 wrote:Wow. Massive increases for UA. Daily from ORD-SJO and BZE is a surprise. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen UA operate 4 daily flights during November and December to GUA.
Out of left field maybe St. Lucia? BGI bookings are supposedly very strong and Copa might want to add the last "major" island. I would Agree that PBM and SLA are likely candidates. In the USA, perhaps PHL or AUS or SAT.
Jump to postmaybe this plane can be used to look south or west.....Maybe MEX, LIM or BOG? Atlantis and Baha Mar are big (albeit expensive) draws to NAS.
Jump to postmore on the 9N & CM announcement.
https://www.tropicair.com/tropic-air-an ... agreement/
I think this is a first for 9N, COPA making sure they get every last passenger. Sounds like a win win all around for both.
I got a notice about a CM and 9N joint press conference today in SPR. It seems to be scheduled for later this morning. Should be some interesting news

Interesting the flights to Puebla and Villahermosa failed but Monterrey is doing well PBC, VSA and BZE were all started together and only BZE remains from that. VSA failed because oil crashed about the time it started and it is an Oil based market. very little tourism there. I understand BGI bookin...
Jump to postI don't see the third ULH flight being IAH....that flight has struggled for years getting enough LF from SIN and relied heavily on Cargo.

I would hedge a bet that fewer than 3% of CUNs 20+ million traffic is connecting.
Not to take the thread off the track abit who do we see next in AUS? Definitely seems like CM or LH market

To anyone familiar with this, why so many flights and seats for a trip that's 30 minutes by car and couldn't take more than 10 minutes in the air?? I truly don’t understand why anyone would think flights between MIA and FLL would make sense for O&D purposes. It’s laughable (idiotic) on the face...

Having flew the EFD IAH cross the city service a few times, it was always packed to the gills.
I would like to see WN add 2x FLL at a minimum After reading this thread for a while, I would be MOST surprised if most of these slots DIDN'T end up at FLL, with the international gateway they want to build there. Have you seen their yield at EWR-ELL. Terrible. If they run a business of purely loos...
Jump to postWn was not the only airline to push back. AA did too IIRC
Jump to postSAL BOS is a complete shock....they must be hoping for lots of connections. Can't think the O&D will be that large
Jump to postThe surprise is all of this has to be IAH which is doing fairly well. I would assume that is a testament to the Cubans that have moved to Houston that a previous poster mentioned.
