Jump to postMHT Might be the largest airport without a ULCC presence at all, so I think it only makes sense that someone like NK is interested. It would probably just be MCO and FLL, but thats a start for sure. It seems to me, though, that for the long term they need to try to get the market share more balance...
Jump to postI read through the document and it says: The dramatic reduction in capacity at MHT over time has caused the Airport’s rates and charges to airlines to increase, leaving MHT at a competitive disadvantage to other airports in the region, and causing MHT to be the only airport in New England without l...
Jump to postKeep this in mind, folks, from Neeleman's own mouth: "“I doubt we will have a single route that has any competition,” he said. So if Breeze is serious about a point to point network, then the city pairs literally have to be unique. This would require some very creative airport pairings if it i...
Jump to post2020 SCASD applications are coming in. So far I see ones from HVN, MHT and ORH of the airports discussed here. MHT is looking for a ULCC, ORH is looking for B6 to resume Florida flights and HVN has several goals.

BLI-DEN will easily be used for WN. Flyguy Does an airport with WN and G4 (plus AS) really need a SCASD grant? Well you can say that about many of the airports over the years that have applied for these grants. I am curious as to what the * after G4 at STL means. Love when there are no explanations...
Jump to posthttps://paxex.aero/scasdp-grant-applications-new-routes/ Breeze Airways is interested in serving a number of unserved routes from XNA… While we cannot guarantee Breeze will initiate new service should XNA receive SCASD funding in the form of a revenue guarantee, it would greatly enhance the probabi...
Jump to postPer a senior executive yesterday all of the ~14 A320s that will remain in storage are 150-seat non-refurbished aircraft with very little green time until expensive maintenance is due. They will likely be stored for quite a while. They also indicated they would not be taking delivery of the pre-owne...
Jump to postBTV Burlington vermont was one of the first JetBlue cities. I wonder if BTV-Florida might be attractive to them to try? The only airline flying it N/S is frontier. The legacies just have everyone connect in a hub on the way which there are many. The problem, I think, is that beyond Orlando there is...
Jump to postThat's an odd time to launch as it's the time of year when the tourism demand drops off a cliff and the weather gets disgusting. That said It it was inevitable as they fly to every other major Florida airport aside from JAX and SRQ. I used to think that too but there really is no cliff. Traffic is ...
Jump to postNo idea on metrics, but given how much these times can affect passenger experience, operations and fuel cost I would think any low hanging fruit in this area would have been picked long ago.

Jump to postTo this very day, I am still steaming pissed about Frontier outsourcing both ramp and customer service to the cheapest vendor. Unfortunately, Frontier and other airlines will not learn lessons from this. The only time they will wake up is when a tragedy strikes, and people are hurt or killed. This ...
Jump to postEveryone from Trego Duran involved in making the decision to release the airplane like that should be behind bars. We haven’t had a fatal US mainline crash in nearly 20 years and that record was almost marred because an airline decided to cheap out. If it’s a company culture thing, they shouldn’t b...
Jump to postI hope I’m very wrong but I pick B. It's been B for the past 10 years so nothing shocking there. I'm not kidding. That's been their canned statement for as a long as I can remember but then again, every airport is always talking to airlines as mentioned above. The difference this time however is th...
Jump to post[I spoke to the Airport Director not long ago, and he said the plan is to eventually knock down the current south concourse and put the gates upstairs in the new security wing and have all gates in a row on the 2nd floor. Pulling the gates back will allow for more mainline aircraft whose tails woul...
Jump to postI've only seen the one external rendering that's been in the articles, but I'll be pretty happy with even just a security update. A single checkpoint would likely bring a dedicated pre-check lane and reduce congestion and lines extending down the hall or into the ticketing areas. The north-south co...
Jump to postPer the linked article the NTSB made an agreement with the victims' families that the wreckage would never become an exhibit or public display.
Jump to postMHT lost revenue so felt they had to raise prices to fund the expensive build-out they had done, which made it even easier for airlines to leave or cut services and potential replacements to stay away. The ones that have stayed by necessity are popular services (i.e. WN to Florida) and often sell o...

Jump to postSpeaking of cargo, I have noticed that Wiggins is no longer flying to BTV. It appears that a Legacy Airways Saab is now the UPS feeder. Does anyone know why the change? It looks like Wiggins is still flying other routes from MHT.
Jump to postBTV has alot of overlap in southern/central vt and New York with ALB. I think BTV competes and loses alot more passengers with ALB and PBG than MHT. Lake Placid is a pretty large traffic generator (in normal times) for example, punches thousands of times above its weight because of all the events a...

On another topic, it appears from the terms of the B6-AA NEA that B6 will be staying at BTV. I'm not sure how it would apply to PWM. ORH is closed but maybe that was already confirmed.
Jump to postBTV at the time also had a robust collection of UA flights to ORD, largely 727-200s. Some people did drive to MHT in those days to fly WN, but I think CO, UA, NW, and US held their own pretty well at BTV. It was UA that I drove to MHT to fly twice. The problem was not the service but the price. As ...

Jump to postI'd be worried that the A220 is going to be too much airplane for market like BTV and PWM once the E190 goes away. My guess is that something between 9 seats (Cape Air) and 140 Seats (A220) will emerge to provide good markets like BTV and PWM with a reliable right sized fit to serve the B6 network....
Jump to postHelp those people, yes, but at what cost to B6? I think you'd risk cannibalising BTV and to a lesser extent BOS... Obviously BOS is much less at risk, but it might chip away at the margins. BTV, though--different story. B6 has been struggling in BTV since the early 2010s. First it was 4x daily to 3...

I wish b6 would re-try btv-mco or try btv-fll. With cold winter weather soon there will always be some people you can convince to get on a plane for warmer weather. With a push to more leisure routes anyway they have planes sitting around. Seems very unlikely i know but they have the planes sitting...
Jump to postThey stated PWM will not return in 2020. Obviously in this environment things can change but this was part of the release. Well, I guess their booking data must be showing less interest in PWM. Did they share anything else not mentioned in that article like what % of schedule they are flying? Maine...
Jump to postIt was N370FR, originated at MCO. Then to PHL-PWM. But Frontier suspended flights to PWM. It’s been at least a week or two since a flight has come in. If they took cared money then they are not allowed to suspend PWM. They must provide between 1 and 5 weekly frequencies to any destination based on ...
Jump to postI recall reading about the US DOT requiring airlines to refund customers flying within/to/from US, instead of simply offering vouchers for use over an extended period. Yet I see airlines still showing the voucher only option with free rebooking. I am observing this right now with a trip I am cancel...
Jump to postThey already approached BTV about flying couple years ago. They wanted the ability to do up to 7 flights a day. They wanted there own counter and gates. The airport director shot it down. Basically saying that it didn’t fit BTVS culture. He was afraid that WN would come in and other airlines would ...
Jump to postWe have discussed before, but I think now is the time WN maybe tries BTV. And by now, I mean in the next 1-3 years. Looking at their new add of Steamboat, I think it bodes well for BTV down to road. With what routes and schedules, though? I'm not sure if the ski destination model would work for BTV...
Jump to postThis may be a bit "out there" but I'm wondering what effect this very mild New England winter will have on loads for F9 and G4 flights from New England to Florida.

Jump to postF9 abruptly pulls PVD-DEN https://turnto10.com/news/local/frontier-airlines-cancels-direct-flights-to-denver I wouldn't be surprised if PWM is at risk.

Jump to postPopulation and passenger counts tend to grow over time. Some of those airports should grow their traffic to fill the larger aircraft. That is a resonable guess and was option #3.

Jump to postI wasn't actually thinking so much of the O&D of a possible PBG-BOS service.

Even with the DL and B6 buildu...
Jump to postPeople from Burlington definitely use Plattsburgh for Florida flights. Drive thru the parking lot you will see plenty of green VT plates in every row.
