Re: The rest of Ohio - 2018

What upgrades did they make? I’ve noticed that CVG-LAX is now operating on the 739 at least 1x per day. To be fair, CVG-LAX is also going from 38 departures in Dec '17 (B738) to 31 departures in Dec '18 (B738). I'm still seeing 38 departures for Dec '18. Mostly it is upguages within aircraft the ty...

Re: Indiana aviation thread - 2018

UA is temporarily suspending SBN-EWR in February and March. The flight will resume April 1st. There is no explanation given but I suspect it is due to Newark Construction and Crew Shortages.

Re: The rest of Ohio - 2018

DL has made lots of last minute upgrades for Oct/Nov/Dec at CVG. This should help recover some passenger growth lost due to F9/G4's reductions and cutting MKE/BNA/XNA.

As for WW, they have decided to suspend many cites with...

Re: Alaska Airlines to announce new markets soon

I would to love to see CVG-SEA, especially given they are already in IND/CMH/PIT/BNA/STL/RDU. DL needs some competition on that route big time.

Re: The rest of Ohio - 2018

UA has extended CVG-DEN at 2x/day mainline through the end of the schedule. Operated by A32S/B738 depending on the season. Makes me wonder if DL will go for another daily flight on the route. G4 has dropped to 2x/wk and F9 is down to 4x/wk, seems like the legacy carriers are wining this battle.

Allegiant has re-listed CVG-PVD as a seasonal destination on its route map. Not available for booking (like CVG-RDU), but I imagine these routes will reappear when the schedule goes into the summer.

CVG-PHX/MCO are both only scheduled at 1x/wk, however, WN said they would be monitoring bookings and increase frequency as necessary. I think we will see both route go daily in April.

Re: Start-up airline Swiss Skies plans to start flying MSL-CVG in 2019
