Does F9 repaint any of its aircraft? Some of the A320, and A320neos are starting to look a bit rough. Some of the older aircraft leases were recently extended to cover delays in the current Airbus production/engine issues. I would expect once deliveries get back to where they should be the older 32...
Jump to postHaving moved here about 2 years ago, DIA is the one thing that I really can't stand about this city. I'd love for JSX to fly to APA. BJC is on the other side of town and at that point I might as well fly out of DIA. A year or so ago, I contacted JSX and suggested they look at APA; the demographics ...
Jump to postI wonder if Key Lime Air will be interested in the D0-328s for their operations. Could be an option for them to seek additional EAS routes.

Sure wish F9's network planners would take a close look at RDU-SAN as a potential route re-start that they flew a few years ago. (According to my records, the route was last flown in summer of 2019 as flight 1191, twice weekly. I assume it was dropped because of covid...) The market is constantly i...
