Quoting Indy (Reply 1): It just strikes me as odd that it would be in the terminal map without at least being under construction. This might sound like a really dumb question but are you sure they haven't started yet? I mean maybe you are there every day and my question is really dumb. Maybe you haven't been there in a month and its a legit question. It just seems odd to me to have it mapped like that already. |
Quoting Knope2001 (Reply 4): --The low-number C gates 6, 7, 8, are a temporary addition added to take pressure off while C was being redone. Unless plans have changed significantly, those gates will not last. |
Quoting Scutfarcus (Reply 5): Yeah, I was there a few months ago, walked to the end of C and it was indeed all shrouded in plastic and such, indicating big remodeling going on. |
Quoting Indy (Reply 1): |
Quoting Legacytravel (Reply 7): believe that project was shelved, and they are now only planning to expand on the E concourse unless this has changed. The plan called for an arm to extend down where the open air parking is and where the taxis are now currently staged waiting to pick up clients. I believe this to still be the master plan if I am wrong please let me know. |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 8): well i looked through the master plan and couldnt find anything about expanding E but I did get this pic |
Quoting Phuebner (Reply 10):
I wonder what kind of expansion MKE is expecting? |
Quoting Legacytravel (Reply 9): Mke like I said I thought the E expansion was talked about pre 9/11. I very well could be wrong and judging by the new master plan I appear to be wrong. |
Quoting Phuebner (Reply 10): On another note: What airline is the plane with the blue tail and outlined apple? |
Quoting Phuebner (Reply 10): This is interesting...what concourse is Midwest? Are they going to expand here? If not, I wonder what kind of expansion MKE is expecting |
Quoting Knope2001 (Reply 13): When C is completed (the current remodel, not the potential C hammerhead) then USAirways is planned to move to C, |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 14): |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 14): The won't be any room for US to move to C unless the hammerhead goes through. Barry Batemann has said that the are going to continue with the construction of the hammerhead. The concourse E construction is slated to begin later this month. |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 14): The concourse E construction is slated to begin later this month. |
Quoting Knope2001 (Reply 15): As for E, is there more work planned other than the security lane rework, or is that the bulk of it? |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 16): I am wondering the same thing as I have never heard anything about doing anything to E besides the security lane renovation |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 17): There was a meeting about two weeks ago with the airport station managers that talked about it. |
Quoting Tekelberry (Reply 22): In my opinion, the ideal concourse situation would be: C - American, United, Air Canada, US Airways, AirTran, Frontier, Apple, USA 3000, Allegiant Air, Funjet D - Midwest & Midwest Connect E - SkyTeam - Northwest, Continental, Delta |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 23): First of all Allegiant Air doesnt even fly to MKE |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 23): First of all Allegiant Air doesnt even fly to MKE so I'm not sure why its up there unless I'm missing something[but i wish they would] |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 23): as those 3 temp. gates arent expected to stay |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 23): it would also be difficult as MKE is looking to expand |
Quoting Mkeflyer717 (Reply 24): I believe Allegiant flies some charters into MKE from places like Punta Cana and Cancun and thats why its listed. |
Quoting Tekelberry (Reply 26): I thought I heard once that MKE is actually thinking about keeping those around. |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 27): Quoting Mkeflyer717 (Reply 24): I believe Allegiant flies some charters into MKE from places like Punta Cana and Cancun and thats why its listed. really I had no idea, lasttime I was in MKE I dont remmeber seeing their ticketing counter nor anyaircraft |
Quoting 2travel2know (Reply 25): How about the connector between Concourse C and the International Arrival Terminal? It could add 3+ gates for Concourse C (or become the "New Concourse B") to use and there's no need for movingsidewalks, an E-Z GO electric airport passenger vehicle is enough for people with walking problems. |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 23): First of all Allegiant Air doesnt even fly to MKE |
Quoting Tekelberry (Reply 22): E - SkyTeam - Northwest, Continental, Delta |
Quoting Knope2001 (Reply 15): Have you heard any more about the hammerhead? Or conversely have you heard that D51 & D53 are staying with US on a longer-term basis? |
Quoting Legacytravel (Reply 30):
They are chartered by Apple Vacations. Allegiant pick up the flying left behind when Transmeridian went belly up. Regards,[/quoI had no idea thanks for the heads up, do they actually bring in their own MD-80's in their own scheme and what citysdo they fly to? kinda messed up this post heh but i also said something at the top that got quoted [quote=AirTran737,reply=31]DL overnights an MD-80, 737-200, CRJ7, CRJ, and an ERJ. That's a lot of aircraft for just two gates, and the pad is used every night by NW for an A319. |
Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 32): flights does NW still have outta MKE? |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 33): He wondered why people don't have anything better with their time than speculate on whether the hammerhead was going to be built. Him and I laughed as we discussed the upcoming construction of it, which as I stated above has started to begin as of today. |
Quoting Tekelberry (Reply 34): Does anyone else see the irony here? |
Quoting Senorcarnival (Reply 35): Is there that much brand loyalty to YX in the area? Does NW still have a strong hold there? IIRC they flew in a couple of 757s a day. |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 33): 18 IIRC. By the way. I told Barry Bateman about this thread and he started to laugh. He wondered why people don't have anything better with their time than speculate on whether the hammerhead was going to be built. Him and I laughed as we discussed the upcoming construction of it, which as I stated above has started to begin as of today. |
Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 38): CUN (Sat. only |
Quoting Knope2001 (Reply 40): When is MKE-CUN operating? I don't see it in the schedule for the next several Saturdays, which is when NW ran it in the past (Saturdays during Feb/Mar/Apr). |

Quoting AirTran737 (Reply 31): DL overnights an MD-80, 737-200, CRJ7, CRJ, and an ERJ. That's a lot of aircraft for just two gates, and the pad is used every night by NW for an A319. Besides, AirTran is a signatory member, and cannot be forced to move to a new concourse. They can move if they choose to do so, but just because it would be nice to have a Skyteam concourse is not a good enough reason to do so. |
Quoting Tekelberry (Reply 36): Yes and yes. Many MKE residents insist on flying only YX and consider it "their" airline. On the other hand, MKE is one of NW's strongest markets with a high number of elites. MKE receives many 757s and even some 753s, along with A320s, A319s, and DC9s from NW. |
