Always great to hear. Can't wait for this market to start getting more international love.
I really wonder about check-in space though. I'd imagine that a portion of the counters are CUTE, but there doesn't seem to be all that much more room for additional carriers, no? What's the expansion contingency for that??
Honestly, not sure of the contingency, but here’s the current situation.
Past United, there’s a fair amount of empty space. There are probably 8-10 positions between UA and AS that are only used by Silver and Boutique right now on the days they fly. There are also 4 open positions between AA and WN that have never been used.
A lot of these counters for small carriers here are only in operation from two hours before their flight to not long after their flight departs. After that, the airline logo screens switch back to the default MSY logo.
It looks like there’s still enough space for everyone to return (DE,BA,CM,TS) based on the hours and days they operate. Not sure where Breeze is going, but if I had to guess, either right next to UA or between AA/WN.
