Re: The Rest of Ohio - 2019

I noticed yesterday that Frontier was using WOW's old gate (B9) for a domestic departure (PUJ-CVG-DEN). I'm not sure if they have been doing this for awhile, but I had never personally seen another carrier run a domestic departure from the DL international side of B. Just curious... since nobody pos...

Re: Memphis Aviation - 2019

I agree that IAD-MEM is a glaring hole in the network. The city wants MEM-CVG back as well. The flight from an ~80% load factor to ~25% load factor when Delta changed the timings. It seems they did it on purpose. It seems DL dropped CVG-MEM (and CVG-MKE/XNA/BNA/PIT/RIC/MSN/etc) to reduce connecting...

Definitely a normal occurrence for this time of year in the midwest. I remember seeing a video when they had everyone evacuate into the tunnels between A&B and the baggage tunnel between B&C.

Re: The Rest of Ohio - 2019

Hopping on this topic a bit late and I suppose I could be guilty of a digression, but gate utilization at CVG isn't measured by flights per gate per day. I think we've been conditioned to read too much about WN and how they can pump planes in and out of gates (which in my observation they really do...

NGO never really filled up a 744. Toward the end, the MNL passengers did. But a smaller aircraft with no MNL tag probably always made sense; NW just didn't have the fleet to do that.

Re: The Rest of Ohio - 2019

CVG-BOS gets a 2nd daily B738 effective June 9. Interestingly, they are uguaging the 2nd/3rd flights of the day, previously they operated mainline on the 3rd or 3rd/4th frequencies.

CVG-MSP gets 2xB738 effective Sept 2, up from an A319/A320 combo.
