WOW! On top of the three new routes that started this summer, NK is almost doubling at MSY this year. Should put us at 14-16 departures depending on the day and season.

I've suspected for a while that they might use MSY as a secondary international hub and these domestic adds go a long way towards building up the necessary feed.

Besides SAP , I don't see them adding any Intl out of MSY, maybe a triangular FLL-TGU-MSY rotation...

NK is big in Honduras

Recently, MSY has had service to CUN (on up to 4 carriers), SAP, PUJ, and MBJ, the latter three on scheduled charter carriers, so I think those would be the most likely candidates to start.

EWR-LAS should do well. United often charges such a premium for non-stop. Quite often connections in IAH, even LAX and SFO were way cheaper then the non-stops.

NK is building a really nice sized operation at MSY. Good to see some ULCC competition to BOS and MSP.

EWR-LAS should do gangbusters.

ORD-PBI seems like a perfect seasonal route. Surprised they haven't flown it before, or have they?
