Re: Rest of Michigan Aviation - 2024

I guess I'll start off the year in the 2024 thread. One of AA's daily flights from GRR to ORD becomes mainline February 14. The last time AA flew ORD mainline to GRR was in the 90s. Flight will utilize the 738 which arrives in the evening, RON, then departs the next morning. Looking ahead, I still s...

Re: American Airlines Fleet - 2024

Perhaps this has already been discussed. Although the range may be slightly less, it seems like the A220-300 would be a good replacement at some point for AA's A319s. UA too?

Hawaiian flies to both JFK and BOS on the US east coast from HNL, not IAD. Hawaiian is not going out of business- they may be acquired by Alaska Airlines but would still operate separately as Hawaiian.

Re: Avelo to Lakeland florida

I am very familiar with the area. All I can say is good luck. MCO is 30 miles away. TPA is about 50. SFB to Disney is around 45 miles, LAL to Disney is pretty much the same miles. SFB seems to work well for those airlines that use it for Orlando area vacation packages, I think LAL could as well.

HA50 HNL-JFK diverts to ORD 30-Nov

I noticed HA50 HNL-JFK divereted to ORD this morning 30-Nov. A/C is currently still at ORD. ** EDIT** HA50 just departed ORD for JFK at 0730 local- on the ground at ORD for almost 2 and a half hours.

Wondering what that was about. Medical? Mechanical? Passenger disruption?
