Thanks for posting the April numbers, avt. Good to see BOS absorbing DLs new 3x daily CR9s without much of a hit to load factors across the carriers.
Jump to postJust got back to CLE after a conference in Milwaukee. Looks like Delta is expanding into Gate B3. They are setting up a full kiosk rather than temporary signage. Makes sense with their recent route additions that they want more permanent space in B.
Jump to postCLE-MKE: 74% I wonder how long WN will keep this around. Odd spoke to spoke pairing to begin with. I don’t forsee this route being cut. It performs rather well considering its running 2x daily. Southwest also has a monopoly on the route — they’d be stupid to get rid of it. Quite a few corporate con...
Jump to postHow are the security lines at Hopkins doing? Just media hype about getting to the airport 3 hours before a flight or actually good advice? Also, too bad no additional capacity added. According to TSA, wait times have remained under 20 minutes, even during peak times: https://twitter.com/TSAMedia_Ma...

Thanks as always, enilria!
Jump to postNice announcement. Just goes to show how much winter demand there is to Florida.
Jump to postMost of these were already scheduled to stop before winter, including SEA and SFO. The only route technically going from year-round to seasonal is SAN. But even SAN was never formally announced as year-round to begin with.
Jump to postVery cool. UA also used CLE as a test subject for its new boarding process about a year and a half ago.
Jump to postCLE-ORF on G4 also kicks off this afternoon. Their service to CHS launched yesterday.
Jump to postAnd thank you for pulling these numbers, AVT. Much appreciated.
Jump to postLoads ≠ yields. There's a reason for these frequencies despite lower than average loads, just like there's a reason why a route like daily DL CLE-BDL has stuck around for over five years. These routes make money. Speaking of loads, it's nice to see DL CLE-RDU slowly mature over the past few years. M...

Updated figures for CAK from the airport's website:
- 2018 total passengers: 920,002 (-27.3% YOY)
- January 2019 total passengers: 64,042 (-14.3% YOY)
Also add KeyBank, Parker Hannifan, Rockwell Automation, BASF, Swagelok, and Lincoln Electric.
Jump to postIf anything, it opens the door for single, year-round carrier.

Jump to postI imagine a 752 would fit the route, especially with no competition from WW.

Spotted a third billboard on 71 north before downtown. I’m guessing these wouldn’t be plastered all over the city if it wasn’t real. My guess is that these are teasers and we will see a formal announcement in the next week or two.
Jump to postEaton would certainly be pleased with this addition as it would connect their North American headquarters in Beachwood with their world headquarters in Dublin.
Jump to postCan confirm. There is one northbound and one southbound. Here’s a picture of the northbound one:

Nice to see CLE part of JetBlue's latest expansion. If I recall from enilria's weekly threads, CLE-BOS will soon be 4x daily. That makes 3x daily CR9s for DL, 4x daily E190s for B6, and 1x daily A320 for NK summer-seasonally. http://blueir.investproductions.com/investor-relations/press-releases/2019...
Jump to postThanks for all your hard work with this, Woody. I look forward to reading each time I see an update.

Jump to postIt’s really a wonder to me why CLE doesn’t use every single communication to the public to remind them that a master facility plan is coming. I’m really glad they are doing it (finally!) with this news item— it should have been done in every single release about the $4 fee. The time to get public s...

Any way you slice it, UAL has a pretty pathetic offering from CLE. I was looking at MCO flights last week and saw they only have one a day. ONE. Anything Delta adds/replaces is welcome as their product is superior to United's anyway. I think it's time to accept that UAL's gone for good and finally ...

Typical DL nonsense, They have been in and outta BOS (as a hub or "focus city") so many times now, its laughable .. just like they have done in SEA, PDX and LAX. This big scary "Delta Invasion" is another lame attempt using RJs at scaring off JetBlue. it hasnt worked before .. a...
Jump to post^Wow---that's great news! DL is preferable to UA anyway as its a higher quality of service (in any class). What kind of equipment will DL use? Will it be mainline or regional? According to USA Today, DL will use E175s: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2018/12/10/delta-new-flights-route...
