MRS3051 just landed from Baghdad at Dulles. This couldn't be a CRAF charter since Egyptair is not US airline. Perhaps a separate DOD charter?

Re: Kabul Falls: Evacuation Charter Watch Thread

I would have to imagine they’ll only be using CRAF to get folks to/from AFBs or other extradition spots that folks are already heading to when they leave KBL on USAF assets (I.e. we’re not going to see Atlas flying into KBL) Edit: and if I took the 10 seconds to read the articles just posted, that’...

Re: Kabul Falls: Evacuation Charter Watch Thread

So is the Taliban are blocking all entrances to the airport, why isn't the US shuttling US Citz from the embassy to the airport? Surely the embassy compound can be made secure short term? Damn good question! Fail! How would that help? Word would get out, people would swarm the embassy compound, the...

Re: Jetblue Network Thread - 2021

To clear thing up, I'm not saying they are being conservative with their fleet plans, but that I think they can be a little more aggressive in getting a few more aircraft in 2022. And it would not hurt their stock prices. I'm thinking about this with the assumption that demand around rest of the wo...

Re: The Rest of New England (BDL/PVD/MHT/PWM/ORH/BTV/HVN/BGR) Aviation Thread - 2021

I dont mean to throw this discussion of track, but I was happening to be playing with the Delta website, and it still shows MHT as a destination, and it is on the destination map. Is there a reason for this? I believe that Delta suspended MHT due to COVID, so I suppose it means that, on paper anywa...

For those wondering bookings for the BTV-DFW flight have been excellent. Flights filled up within days of loading quickly. I am sure this helped AA decide to go for miami in winter. AA really seems to be trying the hardest at BTV right now. If I'm not mistaken they are now regularly flying 2x E-170...

While I've been critical of this kind of service in the past, any new service from BTV is a positive and I appreciate AA seeing the op...

The FAA will award $8 billion in grants to keep U.S. airport workers employed, construction projects going and help U.S. airports recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding for the grants comes from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 President Biden signed into law on March 11...

Re: MHT announce new carrier 16 June

On another note, it seems like NK is continuing to just go after WN on these Florida markets. As NK continues to add capacity on smaller EastCoast or middle of the country to Florida markets, what does that do to the legacy model where they rely on connection through ATL and CLT? I'm sure that a lo...

I always think BTV lines up better with ALB, SYR, ROC not in numbers per say but with demand, passengers, destinations other factors then with MHT, or BOS or PWM. BTV is really a floater imho shares more with the upstate ny airports then with new England. WN just announced SYR with 2-3 daily flight...

Can someone explain the Texas to VT demand? I've moved on from BTV being my home airport 10 years ago, but it still remains a 'base' of mine. That said, Texans wanting to fly to VT???

^^ Yeah I have never understood the 1x weekly flights, same applies for WN and their Sat. or Sun. only flights. This is one in particular with the late departure from BTV which leaves minimal connections is more puzzling. I would assume this route is mostly connections and yet they really only capt...

Re: The Rest of New England (BDL/PVD/MHT/PWM/ORH/BTV/HVN/BGR) Aviation Thread - 2021

I respect what you're saying about BTV. I agree that 2019 was a very strong year and that airlines are going to make their decisions purely on demand. I wouldn't expect them to fly half-empty mainline planes just because. I have noticed that the summer schedule brings a big boost and after you ment...

I'd be curious to see it JetBlue would ever consider a 2-3 month run during the winter on BOS-YVR to capture ski traffic? Either way more service is a win for both the Boston area and BC.

Do you think that will replace summer service to JFK or will JetBlue serve both airports from PWM? I assume B6 will serve both, however this will replace AA's PWM-LGA flights i'm really surprised EWR-PWM didn't get added, but LGA-PWM did. Maybe JFK-PWM will be back to year round.

I believe UA ran some 737-800's and maybe A319 here and there to IAD at the peak of 2019, when we were seeing mainline AC to ATL, DEN, ORD, EWR, IAD, CLT, and PHL Has US/AA really flown mainline BTV-CLT?

No, when B6 served BTV-MCO, it was always the 'next' route we all talked about about, but never materialized. Once B6 left the MCO route, FLL was pretty much out. Then we talked about AA adding MIA pre-COVID Not that I can recall. B6 flew to MCO and G4 to SFB. Historically, I don’t think there were...

I've seen them switch equipment literally within 15 mins of boarding.
