Re: Indianapolis Aviation - 2023

Alll the A Gates can accommodate Mainline Aircraft if a Widebody needs to use A23 then 25 can’t be used but that is a rare occurrence as A5 is the preferred widebody gate on A and B3 can park a widebody on the B side if required..

UA still is way behind AA for 2022 UA carried about 500k pax at IND while AA and WN did over
1 million each. It may happen in 3 or 4 years but will take out of the box thinking. Pulling out of JFK like a spoiled brat does not make sense when you want to grow an airline..
