Way up north, at the former Loring AFB, Maine, a yet to be publicly reviled company has been renovating a vacant hangar and preparing to set up shop to start doing heavy maintenance on airline sized aircraft before this winter is over. As this giant SAC base has sat vacant for 23 years, this is exc...

Jump to postIt's nice to see BTV bounce back a bit air service wise, been through a bit of a lull for a while now, since recession. CLT going 2x daily, AA adding LGA, ATL going 2x daily.

Great to hear something from BTV. The last news was months ago (when UA went double-daily on mainline to ORD). BTV is a weird market for AA. Didn't they completely stop serving BTV before they merged with US? Yes, they stopped a long time ago. The last service on American Eagle was early 2000s (I th...
