I suspect less than daily outside the summer. Still a possibility it could have more than its northern neighbor ORD on AF/KLM/DL. Wow.

Also interesting that the GOVERNOR shows up? Come on, this is the best thing he has to do with his time. Imagine if the governor of IL, TX, GA, or NY did the same every time there was major announcement to those states?

The incentives, which are subject to approval of the IEDC Board, will be awarded based on the number of passengers served by the route over the next two years, and, similar to other IEDC incentives, will not be awarded to the airline until service for passengers is provided."

What is causing airlines to avoid us? It cant be the airport since its mostly O&D traffic

I was thinking SEA from IND too. Since the flights go on sale on Sat 23rd, I bet DL has other new routes that will be loaded then. I think the announcement was pushed forward since WW passed over IND.

If Chicago, or Dallas, or Houston, or Atlanta, or NYC got additional international flights, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this is a big deal for Indiana, and the governor is already in Indianapolis. What the heck is the problem?

I would bet DL adds SEA-IND soon enough.

Everyone forgets CVG already had a TATL. A daily 763 to Paris.
