Per JetBlue’s website, ROC-JFK now transitions to the A220 in May at 2X daily versus the originally projected October date.
Jump to postHonestly surprised BUF wasn't already served from MIA, IIRC it was in 2018-19 but must've been cut due to the pandemic It was briefly served as a “winter break” service in 2018/2019. Daily but only for two weeks during winter break. Interestingly, and not included in the presser, is MIA-SYR, the sa...
Jump to postUpdated to add that Avelo is using A7 in ROC. They did not install a full podium, they’re using the singular boarding podium that B6 previously had installed.
Jump to postDoes anyone know what gate Avelo is using at ROC? Im guessing its A3, Frontiers old gate. It could be B2 maybe but i feel like thats very unlikely. Tbh i dont know if B2 will ever be used for regular service, it hasn’t since continental left i think. United Ground Express will be handling Avelo in ...
Jump to postFWIW, despite claims in the BOS thread that ROC-BOS was ending on DL, it was just re-upgraded to an A221 with the June schedule update.
Jump to postThe aviation news site Ishrion Aviation is reporting that Avelo will start service at ROC, flying to RDU. We'll see if this route happens, but if so it would fill a 22-year gap in ROC's network. Midway II served ROC-RDU from about 1998 to 2001. https://twitter.com/IshrionA/status/163362682452047462...
Jump to postI assume the AA additions are temporary for the PGA? ROC hasn't had AA mainline in 20+ years. Never had it to DFW except for Eagle CR7's a long time ago. Avelo would be nice. ROC has had AA mainline metal since the merger with AWE in 2015, but if you’re referencing legAAcy (couldn’t resist) AA rout...

I’ve heard various explanations over the years. Neither were inherited from NWA, they’re both legacy DL stations above wing. From what I understand, ALB being a DL station does have something to do with it being the capital. SYR on the other hand I’ve never been able to find anyone that has a clear...
Jump to postIf you mean below the wing, yes, but IIRC all Upstate airports are staffed with mainline employees above the wing...I know ALB is, so I would assume SYR/ROC/BUF are the same. Edit: Only ALB and SYR are staffed with mainline DL employees. Odd. Yes - just ALB and SYR. Which is part of the reason why ...
Jump to postI understand the concept .... its just kind of crazy to me that parking, fueling, paying the pilots / flight attendants at BUF is cheaper than parking a plane over night in BOS. I also heard a rumor that Delta is trying to make Buffalo a Pilot hub. It is already a flight attendant base for Delta. B...

Jump to postA 321 is a LOT of metal for that flight. Since ROC/BUF are pretty clearly going to be “parking lot” flights so to speak, it will be interesting to see if there’s any variety in metal depending on what tails are going through BOS any given season. This is what most upstate NY airports used to be, si...

Jump to postROC Facebook shows Spirit still on schedule to start on October 19. I'll be happier once one of the flying bananas actually lands. Interestingly, the ROC website shows them as flying to Concourse A. I thought someone here had said they'll be at B. B2 seems to me a good candidate. Very underused, fr...
Jump to postALB got a big capacity increase from AA on ALB-CLT in June. Service went from 3x A319/daily to 1x A321 + 2x A320/daily, or an additional 106 seats daily. ALB-MIA and ROC-MIA on AA both return on 4 June, the first time these services have operated in the summer IIRC. ALB-MIA isn't surprising given t...
Jump to postWith WN’s schedule extension, ROC-MDW will be year round and not just back for the summer. Also, in September it’s up to 7 days a week instead of just 6 (excluding Saturday)
Jump to postthis is really random but does anyone know which ROC gates are citygates? also does anyone know which gate NK will occupy? i thought it would be A1 but that could be a WN gate (this is my first time posting something lol) In a previous post ROCDLFan speculated B2 for Spirit. He stated lines were dr...
Jump to postDecided to take a moment to look at a random Friday in July as F9, AA, UA and NK all have their preliminary schedules set, and currently ROC is on track to match if not surpass July 2019 capacity. Friday, July 8th: AA: 3X CLT (A321, A320, CR9) 3X BOS (3X ER4) 3X DCA (3X E7W) 3X PHL (3X ER4) 3X ORD (...
Jump to postROC-DEN officially loaded in on F9! 3X a week beginning May 27th, A320. ROC’s first route west of the Mississippi, very long overdue. Big week for Western New York aviation!

Jump to postDCA-ROCguy.....MYR will be in the mix to so wouldn't it be 22x weekly? Yes.....your math is better than mine! That's an average of over 3x daily flights. Anyone know what gate Spirit will use? It would probably make sense for them to be at A1 next to Frontier, but I don't know if WN would want to k...
Jump to postVery excited to see WN resuming ROC-MDW eff June 5th at 2X daily. In addition, they’ve added a 4th daily BWI. As of now all 4 BWI flights are scheduled on the 738, and both MDW’s are scheduled on 737’s. Disappointed to see MCO and TPA only operating on a Saturday basis, especially with F9 doing so w...
Jump to postAllegiant does not fly to ROC all the time. They are not coming here til Nov 19th. IDK how they can retain employees when they don't work for weeks at a time ? I'm guessing these 2x-4x weekly flights ground ops are contracted out to other airlines. At least they were when I worked for the airlines ...
Jump to postSomething that is so fascinating to me is the fact that F9 is seeing so much early on success in ROC after 4 months of operation, and yet after 6 years G4 continues to remain completely stagnant. Generally speaking where one is successful, the other seems to be as well.
Jump to postF9 launching ROC-TPA 4X a week beginning 11/30 on the A320. Currently have them for Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar at 10 flights per week over a 7 day a week operation with service to MCO, TPA, MIA. Given their success they’ve had to far, very hopeful they’ll announce DEN next for spring/summer. With B6 going back...

Jump to postF9 announcing ROC/SYR/ALB-MIA 2X weekly beginning November. Looks like all service will be operated by the A320
Jump to postAA loaded some minor updates, but it’s worth noting that ROC-MIA has been extended to year round Saturday only with some Friday/Sunday dates mixed in. More importantly, mAAinline is finally returning to ROC with 2X daily A319 service on CLT as of October in addition to a 145 And 175.

Jump to postF9 launches MCO tomorrow from ROC and I can confirm that it’s booked just about completely full. Not for a launch of a new station, eager to see what routes will follow. Fingers crossed and thinking optimistically for a DEN flight finally.

I hate checking in a British airports when it is so painfully obvious that that worker couldn't care less which airline you are flying on...
Jump to postB6 contracted out ROC, SYR and ALB due to the pandemic in October. G4 is handled by AvFlight and their technically using B9, but it’s been down on and off for the last 6 months so occasionally they’ll use 7. AvFlight was also awarded the F9 contract. I believe DGS handles F9 in SYR, I’m not sure wh...
Jump to postIs F9 really brining in their own staffing for a 3x week operation? If so that would lead me to believe they anticipate adding flights in the future. On the other hand B6 only has one flight a day now (hopefully that will improve) and I'm guessing they still have their own staff in ROC. Allegiant h...
Jump to postROCDLFAN--do we know what gate Frontier will be using at ROC? SYR folks--sorry about your runway work diversion issues. Runway work stinks.

Jump to postI would hope you would contribute about ALB to that other thread, because ALB is part of upstate, and living in the Utica area, I am as interested in ALB news, as I am SYR, and more so than ROC/BUF.

Jump to postDFW/DAL service is something I’d love to see, I’d also love to see if AA is gonna bring back SYR-MIA year round, from what I’ve seen the flight was full on an A321 so an E175 would do just fine.

Jump to postAA has pushed out their June schedule, and by far they are the closest carrier to be inching back towards pre-COVID levels in BUF/ROC/SYR.

Jump to postIn seeing the news American is adding/extending Saturday MIA-ROC, I'm surprised they haven't added DFW to ROC/SYR/ALB yet, given the domestic growth both pre and post-Covid at DFW.
