Quoting flyoregon (Reply 147): DL/VS announced SLC-LHR seasonally. I get SLC is a DL hub, but thoughts on PDX-LON in the near future? Ideally, it would be on BA, but DL would be ok too. |
Quoting Airnerd (Reply 152): DL won't do PDX-LON. Seasonal PDX-CDG maybe. BA could do PDX-LON. They fly to some similar 2nd-tier places (AUS for example), and they'd pick up AS feed. |
Quoting Airnerd (Reply 146): The most important one likely being DL as that brings in some juicy one-stop destinations like JFK, AMS, NRT, |
Quoting lhpdx (Reply 150): This might explain the drive behind the construction of all of these new hotels in Portland......... |
Quoting HNL (Reply 141): There are no E175s scheduled at MFR |

Quoting twincommander (Reply 154): Or Empire. The NE ramp T-Hangars and old corporate hangars have been demolished. Looks like the Port is ever so closer to kicking the FBO out... |

Quoting twincommander (Reply 162): This is really exciting to see that the FBO gets to keep their hold here, and get a massive expansion aimed at making them a more global friendly place. |
Quoting Wingtips56 (Reply 165): Anybody at PDX know where PenAir (KS) will be operating from? PDX-CEC service starts 15SEP. Hopefully they can squeeze in with QX or AS, and not be way out somewhere. |

Quoting flyoregon (Reply 167): They've already dated them, why waste money on a date you know will end in disaster? |

Hopefully they can squeeze in with QX or AS, and not be way out somewhere. Initially they will operate out of E6. In November PenAir and SeaPort will relocate to the B concourse. |
Quoting Wingtips56 (Reply 170): Out of curiosity, is the move in November because the Concourse E rebuild is starting? |

Quoting lhpdx (Reply 176): Hainan Airlines PDX-Beijing on wiki starting 3/20/2016?? This must be an error.....When was this announced? |

Quoting ANA787 (Reply 178): Quoting lhpdx (Reply 176): Hainan Airlines PDX-Beijing on wiki starting 3/20/2016?? This must be an error.....When was this announced? Probably unlikely. But with Alaska's recently announced partnership with HU its not that unlikely. PDX-PEK would be a success due to their very competitive fares to Asia. I could see 3x/week service PDX-PEK. |
Quoting Airnerd (Reply 179): Seems like a remote possibility. But they do already fly to SJC. (in addition to SFO and LAX), so maybe PDX wouldn't be too much of a stretch for them. |

Quoting RWA380 (Reply 181): If not HU, it'll be another carrier soon enough, PDX is seeing unprecedented growth currently, there are no less than 24 major construction projects going on in the metro area, Things are growing fast, including exports & with China being as big of a trade partner as it is, I think the route could be profitable quickly (by industry standards) with the cargo opportunities. |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 182): Couldn't agree more. PDX is well served to Europe (although LHR on BA would be lovely), but seems to be a little too light toward Asia given the business links PDX has, and with Alaska's growth in Portland, it certainly helps the argument to add a flight somewhere across the Pacific, and HU makes the most sense. |

Quoting BoeingGuy (Reply 184): Quoting Airnerd (Reply 179): But they do already fly to SJC. (in addition to SFO and LAX), s Actually HU doesn't serve SFO or LAX. I've seen nothing that indicates HU will serve PDX, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility either. I see Hainan on the PDX Wiki page too. I wonder if someone knows something that we don't know yet. I also can see NH starting PDX. |
Quoting bigfoot0503 (Reply 186): Quoting lhpdx (Reply 176): Hainan Airlines PDX-Beijing on wiki starting 3/20/2016?? This must be an error Personally I'd like to get anet user "The Korean" to weigh in on this. According to his posts most people in Asia are oblivious to Portland, Oregon and a route such as this will "NEVER" happen. |
Quoting lhpdx (Reply 187): This is my first time hearing that people in Asia were oblivious to Portland, Oregon.....Thanks for enlightening me... |

Quoting ANA787 (Reply 183): HU to PEK or KE to ICN make the most sense as they can tie into AS' PDX operations quite nicely. |

Quoting Airnerd (Reply 185): Seems they route through SJC and SEA on those flights using AS connections... curious. |
Quoting Airnerd (Reply 185): As for ANA, I really can't see any international service working in PDX without AS feed, and *A is so weak now at PDX, it's not going to help much |

Quoting intotheair (Reply 192): I'm moving to EUG at the end of the month |
Quoting intotheair (Reply 192): what were some of the other more recent mainline services from EUG? |
Quoting RWA380 (Reply 190): I agree with this, each time the subject comes up I just think it'll be JL before NH at PDX, but what do I know, I still expect O/W to one day have a focus city at PDX with BA, JL & AA co-operating flights, with one strategic regional partner with a large presence at PDX ... ie ... AS. |
Quoting intotheair (Reply 192): I was wondering whether anybody could tell me any information about mainline service to EUG in more recent years. Aside from F9 briefly flying to DEN and the few random "we fly when we feel like it" routes on Allegiant, what were some of the other more recent mainline services from EUG? |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 19): I've read around from others on A.net and other sites about the plausibility of AA setting up a small trans-pac "hub" in PDX. |
Quoting PDX88 (Reply 196): LOL. Never. Gonna. Happen. They don't even run LAX, JFK, or MIA. To start up something as big as a Trans-Pac gateway, there needs to be somewhat of a visibly dominating brand already existing, something AA does not have in Portland. Way more likely Alaska invests in some 787s and starts their own. |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 197): So before you laugh off the notion of it being possible, look at the logistics of it, look at the demographical statistics in support of it, and think about the strengthening relationship Alaska and American have. For an airline the size of American, it doesn't take much to increase brand awareness and with Alaska as the dominating brand in Portland, and as long as the relationship between the two remains healthy, it could work successfully in both AA and AS favor. |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 195): United flew 737's up until 2009 to/from EUG and I think briefly had A319/320's on the route. American use to do a EUG-PDX route with MD-80's and 727's I think, and Morris Air flew 737's from EUG in the 1990's until they were bought by Southwest. |
