I know having a maintenance facility means little in the way of additional air service but is there any chance United will ever add service to PDX aside from additional frequencies to the current hubs? United used to be so dominant here but very quiet over the last 10-15 years. LAX seems to be a ho...
Jump to postSun Country was to set up a PDX focus city complete with a pilot and flight attendant base. Then COVID happened and those plans were shelved. Perhaps they are thinking about restarting this.
Jump to postWhich raises the question, with all the data and analytics involved, why did DL start SEA-TPE? I speculated a few pages back but I have no first hand knowledge. It is very likely that DL agreed to add TPE to win some corporate contract. And SEA-TPE looked like the best option for them, at least a f...
Jump to postIt's great to see additional service announced for PDX for later this year! I don't know if we will get new service to Europe in the next year, but maybe additional frequency. But I do really think we are due for an Asia route. Anyone have insight who the Port is speaking with this time? Flights to...
Jump to postBR is planning on increasing SEA-TPE to 10 weekly over the summer now. Strikes me as part strong Asian demand, and part retaliation against DL and possibly JX/CI if one/both of them confirm plans to start SEA. https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/240306-brns24sea Looking forward to the cheap deals on SEA...

Jump to postAccording to the below stats, IAH should be next at PDX. Realistically next we will likely see IAH, DTW, PHL, STL and SAT (Horizon E-175 operating).

Changing gears a bit, looks like SEA-TPE on JX will still start in August and be 3x/week initially then increase to daily later on. I'm guessing the announcement/start date are dependent on widebody deliveries, fingers crossed that we get the A350 like LAX/SFO do. https://x.com/aeroroutes/status/17...

LH needs to come back to PDX. If Condor has this stellar of LF%, then I think they would do just fine here. The Port of Portland should consider enticing them. I agree.

Jump to postShowing in the schedules for summer 24. Was there an official announcement?
Jump to postYes, B6 planned twice daily PDX-JFK in 2021, likely in response to AS adding a second flight. The second flight operated for around one or two weeks in June 2021 before being immediately cut (sort of reminds me of the NK PDX-DTW fiasco). Just a few days ago, I had noticed that they had the A220 sch...

Jump to postI could see DL coming back to starting PDX-HNL and maybe starting PDX-OGG, with now one carrier operating all PDX-Hawaii flights. Perfect A321neo flight for DL.
Jump to postThat's what I am thinking. Maybe they adjust those flights as well. 787x is great capacity and performance There were rumours on this forum that BA were going to increase frequency on this route. I could imagine 10x weekly with a mix of 788, 789 or 787-10. If this is the case we’ll probably find ou...

Jump to postI also can't help but wonder what the fate of PDX-AMS will be, given the restrictions that the Dutch Government is placing on AMS international traffic. I would hope that DL would take off frequencies from ATL/DTW/MSP/JFK (which all have multiple daily AMS flights per day) instead of suspending PDX...
Jump to postMy thinking is that DL will now add ICN and rotate a 332 through pdx on less than daily CDG and ICN flights (if the CDG rumor is true). Bingo. Likely the A332 that were supposed to operate both PDX-HND and PDX-ICN will now coordinate to rotate to CDG and ICN. NW and DL used to do this for a time op...
