Jump to postThere is no easy answer right to these discussion threads? Could Columbus (could be a Columbus area thread) and CVG hold their own threads? Certainly, but I do think this thread would die and become a thread that only has a page or two of posts over the course of the year and gets forgotten about i...
Jump to postHave they started yet on the roadway improvements?
Jump to postYeah, honestly, CVG and CMH should have their own threads anyway. Their peers do, so why can't they? It makes no sense. This is brought up every year and, every year, it's established that there's probably not enough discussion to keep individual threads for each of the two airports going plus a pl...

As was the case for the entire industry, 2020 was kind of a lost year overall for BNA. However, WN gained two new gates and continued to expand. Here is what we can look forward to in 2021. 1. The meat of BNA Vision will get in full swing. The lobby/IAB project has started in earnest, the roadway im...

Jump to postIf you go back and read the thread regarding the AA/AS partnership announced in February, you'll see a lot of people shocked that AS joined oneworld and formed a deep partnership with AA. At least on here, few people saw it as a possibility. In February it was theoretically possible. Today, it is n...
Jump to postWith AS moving to a single fleet, WN is quite possible. WN would instantly dominate west coast. AA won't happen unless they get their finances in the order.

For those saying no chance this will happen, remember that a lot of people said AS would never join oneworld as a full member and cooperate with AA on a deeper level, so who knows? There is a massive step from one to the other. One was always a possibility as it was just a matter of commercial term...
Jump to postWith AS joining oneworld, it seems there is a good possibility AA will absorb them down the road. We've seen this before with airlines joining alliances and then merging (i.e, CO/UA). Granted, I do not expect this to happen in the near future as it doesn't make financial sense right now for a variet...

Jump to postI’d still like to see a source for these 2020 numbers. Hawaii is been shut down for most of 2020 so there is no way those numbers are correct. Plus, I’d like to see how a market like MCI has that many PDEW to Hawaii in the first place. Since pretty much any new service east of the Rockies would req...
Jump to postEveryone here needs to calm down. The new SLC just opened and we are still in a downturn, there isn’t going to be a lot of food options right now. And so what with the walking? Again, how is it any different than DTW? Once the full thing opens in 2024 (with the central tunnel), it’ll be fine. SLC di...
Jump to postAccording to recent PDEW numbers, MCI is now one of the top three nonstops without service to HNL with 134 PDEW for 2020. This comes after AUS and CLT recently announced HNL service. The proceeding unserved destinations are BWI (205) and DTW (147). The only airlines I can see taking interest would ...
Jump to postIt’s not fully finished yet, what do you expect? How’s it any different from say, DTW?
Jump to postNot sure why you think that. DTW is not experiencing much if any population growth as a metropolitan area. Growth in passengers is typically tied to growth in people. I imagine the South and the Sunbelt will continue to explode in the coming years. Jeremy Agreed but Michigan is one of the biggest m...

Jump to postThe end of the year is nigh, what can we expect at BNA in 2021?
Jump to post-It's only a matter of time before either B6 or SY enters the market, B6 especially given the ties on IND-BOS, best bet would be late 2021 add for mid-2022 start - WN adding IND-STL, meant the odds of IND-BNA just jumped, now that BNA is a much larger station and with new destinations (SAV/PBI/MIA/...

I don’t think AUS is chasing a hub; several people have mentioned this. AUS’s market strength is based mostly on its O&D traffic, connecting traffic is minuscule and probably limited to people chasing a cheap fare on WN. (DL’s much discussed focus city plans also involved O&D). The airport ...
Jump to postIt seems to me that Austin will remain a fragmented market for a long time. It cannot be a legacy fortress hub since DFW and IAH are huge and would kill any DL attempt to make it a profitable hub. It cannot be a WN hub, because DAL and HOU are right next doors. Both airports carry large amount of c...
Jump to postAUS and BNA real estate prices are unsustainable. In the long run it will end up hurting those markets. RDU isn't quite as bad but it isn't too far off. These three markets do not offer anything special to justify the prices. Eventually there will be a correction and air travel will take a hit as a...

Jump to postWould still be a no. Emirates has Houston and Dallas. And? They have no feed there. By that logic, why have LH at AUS with IAH right down the road with massive feed on both ends? Emirates doesn’t need feed. The logic isn’t consistent. Lufthansa serves an insanely larger local market (by a factor of...
Jump to postThat would be a horrible bet. If I were making it based on present marketshare conditions, then yes. But notice the caveat I added at the beginning: if on the outside chance B6 gets a sizable presence in the AUS market (i.e, 100+ flights). If that happened, EK would be a no brainer in AUS, given th...

I was thinking the same thing. The AA/AS partnership is well underway. And how long did it take for that to be announced? And how long has it been since the JetBlue partnership got announced? It takes time for these deals to get implemented in detail. And we have a guy here who think it's not going...

That’s true. My larger thinking was AUS had BA, LH and was about to get KL pre-pandemic. I expect all will be back at some point. I doubt BNA will be able to land all 3 of those. And Norwegian, although that’s a different story. The bulk of the growth at AUS has been, and will continue to be, domes...

AUS, BNA and RDU have to be the most interesting mid-sized airports in the United States right now.

All three are rapidly growing markets with a good mixture of tourism and business, an...

AUS is going to be a mess.

Jump to postYour assessment on RDU is not entirely accurate.

Jump to postThe problem with AUS is that it's a lousy location for connections, except I guess to interior Mexico.
