Re: New OMA Terminal Rendering Unveiled!

I think OMA could support service daily to BOS and SAN (XP maybe). I think once or twice weekly with Y4 (or likes thereof) to GDL and weekly summer service by FI. AS did OMA-SAN for a hot minute but I believe it had been canned even before Covid. As for BOS, that comes up a lot on an Omaha message ...

Re: New OMA Terminal Rendering Unveiled!

This looks great for OMA. I took a quick look and am very impressed with Omaha's level of service.
