Re: Sun Country eyeing second focus city similar to MSP

Call me crazy, but maybe SDF? The airport is planning to add additional gates and an international arrivals area.

Re: MCI vs KCI

It's MCI for Mid-Continent International. Fort Myers is RSW for Regional South West. Learn something every day, thanks. I always assumed when MCI was built there was already a Kansas City airport so they needed a new code in the interim and grabbed the M from Missouri. Sure thing. When I was younge...

Re: Allegiant (MCO) air service announcement

Anyone think this may have been a preemptive move to protect some of their larger Orlando markets from an entrance from either Breeze or Avelo? These are the top 3 busiest routes from SFB according to BTS statistics. Well, Breeze did just announce service to MCO from EVV, an airport currently serve...

Re: Indiana State Aviation - 2023

Breeze EVV-MCO now bookable online. Looks like launch date is 2/23/24. Route is 2x weekly running Mondays and Fridays. I looked in the Breeze thread, but didn't see it. Is this with the A220? Nice route, competing with Allegiant, but not directly as they go into SFB. According to the Breeze website...

Re: Indiana State Aviation - 2023

When can we expect G4 to announce Gulf Shores or any other new routes? I know the pilot shortage held them back a lot this year. Word out of Gulf Shores is that Allegiant will launch in the spring of 2023. If G4 launches in Spring 2023, I would expect an announcement in October or November of this ...

AlaskaBlue with a 737 west coast and A320/21 east coast setup. Like it or not, a LAX/SEA/BOS/JFK/FLL airline with focus cities in PDX, MCO and LGA would be a legitimate competitor.

Maybe it's because of my limited experience with RJs in while in the US, but is first class really needed on a RJ?
