JB was smart to start JAX-LAX before Delta, American or SWA began the route. It is perfect for the A220 which JB will eventually put on this routing as was pointed out. Apparently Delta is not interested in using the 220 on long thin routes. Even if JB only operates this flight 3 days per week it's...
Jump to postHow could DAB have a gate issue? Don’t they have six gates and even now at Spring Break they only peak around 12 departures. As a DAB spotter, I can confirm that gate space is NOT an issue. We joke around 24/7 that its a good day when you have 2 gates occupied at the same time. But yes I definitely...

Jump to postSeems like AA is favoring DAB over MLB for PHL. When PHL loses MLB Saturday service, the following week DAB goes daily through summer. With ~20 flights to MCO back in May, I guess less of a need for MLB service anyways? DAB is a bit less of a straight shot drive wise than MLB, and it’s a little fur...
Jump to postI saw there was an uptick on DAB-DFW, but didn't realized they'd upped it to daily NOW. DFW-DAB for the most part has been daily. However, as of now it's just scheduled till the end of spring. If it does well AA has indicated it would be year round. Spring Break is probably the engine driving this ...
Jump to postIs it on the same day? In that case it's probably Spirit. Don't see WN getting into HVN. Hoping HVN gets something nice!! I honestly think HVN would be a perfect opportunity for WN. BDL has a lot of competition and HVN could easily capture a huge amount Coastal traffic that doesn't want to tweak in...

Jump to postWow, ISP-BNA has been gone for a looong time! Glad to see that return. Now if only they could bring back ISP-MDW!
And it will be MDW-PWM, not ORD-PWM.
Based off of Breeze’s Linked-in, they have some dispatchers based at ISP so they won’t only be using the airport as their maintenance base but as a destination (the “NE” point they are looking to serve). Yeah I'm betting on seeing them at ISP. I'm hoping they choose SFB over MCO for a SE base. I kn...

Jump to postI think the answer is when business travel recovers. Leisure has significantly recovered and at smaller airports like FAR and BIS the mainline carrier has a good chunk of that leisure segment. At bigger airports like ORD, MKE and MCI there are ample nonstop flights to most of the best-recovered mar...
Jump to postA lot of routes were also downgauged during the pandemic from mainline to RJs. I’m starting to wonder when we will see some of those routes go back to mainline? Some that I noticed are DTW-ORD/MKE/MCI and MSP-ORD/MKE/MCI. I noticed places like FAR and BIS started to see 1-2 mainline frequencies retu...

LGA-MCI actually resumes next month. AA adds the route on September 8. I can’t for the life of me imagine B6 not taking that over eventually which will be on an E190 minimum which will eventually be an A220 as it is. If/when that happens DL will want to up its game. Yeah, there is no way DL would l...
Jump to postMSP is a bit out of the way for most Midwestern connections, as others have mentioned, given its geographic location in the north of the country. That said, I have seen people flying STL-MSP-DEN, STL-MSP-LAX, and even STL-MSP-MDW. Yes, but it still hasn't historically entirely stopped people from d...
Jump to postStill can’t believe they haven’t added DAB during all of this. DAB is a smaller air market than even the smallest of ECP/VPS/PNS. In recent history it hasn't had much more than 4-5x DL (but all mainline, and sometimes as large as 757), and 4-5 RJs AA to CLT. BWI? MDW? IMHO it would be tough to avg ...
Jump to postStill can’t believe they haven’t added DAB during all of this.
Jump to postMy expectation is that when the time comes, DL will slowly get back into the route 1x or 2x daily with the E175's. Hoping to see the same occur to BOS-MCI as it was pre-Covid since I was frequently using that route, but at this point that might be asking too much. LGA-MCI actually resumes next mont...
Jump to postThis is incorrect. YX’s MCI maintenance base has been closed since early 2016. MCI isn’t even a crew base for YX anymore (closed October 2020). Also, other than being a A220 fanboy, why do you think this route needs upgauged so bad when it’s not even currently operating because demand is so low? Oh...
Jump to postI see it as a 175 route. A220 is probably too large. Nah, the 220-100 is probably perfect for it. I believe it is more cost effective as well. WN was able to fill a 73G, DL should be able to fill a small mainline aircraft and its a good transfer point between east and west coast hubs. But since YX ...

Jump to postI’m more surprised they didn’t hand over these domestic routes to B6 instead.
Jump to postI just remember their folding is what got WN into LGA. Big deal at the time.
Jump to postI saw AA is relaunching LGA-MCI for the third time. Why do they expect it to work this time if they’ve dropped the axe on it two other times in the past?

MCI, among other midwestern cities (MKE, STL & SAT) are being shortlisted for service within the next few years from BOS/JFK. https://blog.wandr.me/2021/02/american-jetblue-alliance-slot-route-adjustment/ Would be good to see. Wonder if DL would ...

Jump to postAny word on how DAB-DFW/PHL are doing so far? DAB-DFW is doing well. Bookings were strong enough for AA to extend the service to August 16. Strong feeling this will become year round. Wow, and that's daily by the looks of the OAG thread, too! It makes sense. DFW is their largest hub. I would have b...
Jump to postG4 added SFB-EYW Not surprised. I was up at SFB for business yesterday and noticed G4 had 3 A320's and 2 A319's parked in the remote lots. I guess this will give one of them (presumably one of the A319's) something to do rather than have it sit while the tires slowly deflate on the ramp. EYW has to...

What do you think they can possibly fly with 7 slots that could work? Are you forgetting that WN opened LGA with about that many slots? It was either 4x BWI and 3x MDW or the other way around. LGA and JFK don't have the same appeal for within perimeter destinations. WN had close to 20 flights at EW...

Jump to postI do expect bookings to get stronger as time gets closer and as months go on. JFK on UA basically opens up a whole new sector of NY State (Long Island) to UA.

Jump to post- B6 finally stops treating us like lepers and adds MCI like they said they would in 2003. They’re on the move, they finally have a good aircraft for the route (A220), JFK is wide open and BOS only has DL.
