Has anyone heard any news about JSX launching PWM-HPN? There were a few local media outlets who ran a story in May, announcing a June 22nd launch of seasonal HPN-PWM and HPN-MVY public charters. Since then, I’m not seeing anything on JSX’s website, nor the Jetport’s. Assume the routes were dropped b...
Jump to postSuspect this is intended to win an order from the Maldives. I’ve heard from a couple sources that the PT6A-34s have had terrible reliability operating on floats in salt water; operators are fighting over used -300s to get the -27 engines, even when low time -400s are available.
Jump to postYes, for Delta flights you may check in at either terminal interchangeably. You may check in at the International Landside for domestic flights, and vice-versa. Be aware though, on your return you will be forced to pick up your checked bags and exit to the International terminal after clearing custo...
Jump to postI'm curious - has anyone seen stats about performance on Cape Air's BOS-PWM route? I was pleasantly surprised to see the route come back after it got the axe in 2020, but it looks like the flights are zeroed-out again for February through June this year. I was under the impression that Cape Air was ...

Gimli was a decomissioned former Canadian Air Force Base, even before the incident happened. There was no easy way to bring C-GAUN back to Gimli, for permanent display.

Jump to postI can find no record of a fatal accident involving a New York Airways DHC-6, which they only flew briefly, in 1969.

Jump to postFunny seeing this post now, as I'm sitting in an AirBNB in Ponta Delgada, on a stopover on my way home from a week on Madeira.

Jump to postI'll second the airline suggestion. Having the flight benefits while you're still in school is a great perk; you can take all sorts of crazy trips abroad while you still have the free time. Plus the actual job can be pretty satisfying too - get to work hands on with in-service aircraft, instead of b...
Jump to postGood to hear, I wish them the best. Elite has dabbled in a few odd markets like this; they seem to do a good job of cutting the non-profitable routes loose before they lose too much.

Jump to postI'm not entirely surprised to see PWM-YHZ pop up again. There's a relatively significant demand from the Canadian maritimes to Maine, both for tourism and as an access point to the US East Coast (the drive up and around the gulf is not insignificant). The Canadian government has subsidized two recen...
