If I remember correctly Elite served RFD for a while to Colorado. In time it faded and went away. Like anywhere if Youngstown fliers need to fly to EWR and use the service that will make it work or not.

Agreed on both counts. Very happy to hear it's coming back. Now, as everyone has already mentioned, jetbridges just need to come back to C48 and A1.

UA took over the EAS subsidies so loads don't matter as much. Those ORD numbers actually aren't too bad all things considered.

Those look pretty abysmal, but I agree that EAS routes are probably low across the board (but that low?). If I remember correctly, there's also a CRJ maintenance base there... so I guess that makes the numbers a little more bearable, too.

This actually isn't horrible -- a couple of reasons why:

1. Skywest's EAS big for Clarksburg expected a 42% load factor.
https://www.regulations.gov/document?D= ... 20736-0149

2. This is only the first month. It takes time for people to establish new travel habits. Plus in the first days of a new service loads are lighter because you don't have any people "returning" yet.

3. The actual load factor on the scheduled EAS passenger flights is likely a notch or two higher in some cases than the stats indicate. That's because the T100 stats don't differentiate between scheduled passenger flights and empty non-passenger ferry flights. Look at CKB-ORD for November. Skywest flies 1x/day from CKB to ORD which would be 30 trips in November. But the November stats show 33 flights operated, not 30. The three extra are likely empty ferry flights operated CKB-ORD due to the Skywest maintenence base the Clarksburg. Skywest routinely operates empty ferry flights to/from maintenance base cities -- just in November Skywest operated other empty ferry flights at Clarksburg to or from places such as Hartford, South Bend, and Springfield MO. When an empty ferry flight happens to run a route like CKB-SBN it shows 1 flight with 0 passengers and 50 seats. But if they happen to run an empty ferry flight CKB-ORD or CKB-IAD that 1 flight with 0 passengers and 50 seats gets rolled into the stats of the scheduled EAS flights they operate on those routes. Those seats on the empty ferry flights make the load factor of the scheduled passenger EAS service look worse than it was.

That Skywest has a maintenence base in Clarksburg makes it better for them to have the EAS passenger contract for the city -- they are likely able to rotate more aircraft into CKB without having to ferry. But even when a city with a maintenance base has plenty of scheduled Skywest flights it's still not uncommon to have to run empty ferry flights in or out. For example Skywest operates more than a dozen scheduled flights every day at Colorado Springs, but in November Skywest still operated empty ferry flights from their Colorado Springs maintenance base to BIL, LAS, MKE, OKC, OMA and SFO. Those are just the cost of doing business. If they didn't operate scheduled flights to CKB at all then all aircraft in and out of that base woudl be empty ferry flights, of course.

As for projecting only a 42% load factor there certainly are many fuller EAS routes operated with 50-seat RJ's, but it's not a total outlier. Because of lower per-seat operating cost and the ability to serve more passengers with fewer flights, a market like CKB can have a far lower per-passengers subidy with a Skywest CRJ than a 9-seat prop. Skywest's per-passenger subsidy for CKB even with only a 42% projected load factor is $104. EAS markets operated with 9-seat props tend to have anywere between $160 and $400 subsidy per passenger.

C48 is also due to get one this year per the RFP upthread.

Wow... 900% growth? That's pretty aggressive.

Someone up-thread asked if G4 might consider moving to CMH. I'm inclined to doubt it... but, I wonder if eventually the CRAA might want to use the LCK terminal space for something else and offer G4 a sweetheart deal on the various fees if they moved to CMH...? Especially once the new CMH terminal is in place...?

DeltaRules wrote:

G4 now appears to be using both LCK gates at times, so they'll have to play with times and/or days if they want to continue to grow in the short term regardless of where they might go later. There were three departures within an hour on Monday morning, then two more almost on top of each other that afternoon.

Never thought a discussion would ever occur about LCK running out of gate space, though it appears to be happening! Looking at the Google Maps satellite image, it appears there is a 3rd lead-in line to the left of what looks like gate 1. I wonder if it would be possible to do a hardstand operation from that line? Not sure if there is ramp access from the passenger hold area where that could be an option. Maybe it could be part of the terminal improvements mentioned in the master plan?

Also curious to get the first look at NK pax numbers for the half of Feb that they were operating. That alone will provide a nice boost all year

Top priority IMO right now for CRAA should be SFO and SEA (on anyone really, but AS would work great for both)

When I took the first Pan Am (v3) flight from LCK in 2005 (the only time I've been there), they parked the J31 which was also there to take the higher-ups home in that general area. We were hooked up to the left jetway (I seem to remember that being 2, but who's counting? ) and I seem to remember watching them head to the plane, so I'm guessing there must be some sort of ramp-level access. I don't know if that's what the walled off area at that gate we saw in the pictures from Twitter is or if that connects to FIS.

Maybe they could use that line for overflow and board some flights using ramps if they didn't expand the terminal over?

Maybe it's just based on the amount of space a plane could park without sticking into the alley, but the specific mention of parking a 73G at C48 is definitely curious since they also listed the Hawker, which is J1's weapon of choice. That's why I wondered out loud if there could be a 73G operator in the mix. SY would make sense for their casino charters, but I'd hope there would be more to it or maybe AS.

DeltaRules I am almost always on the side of positive guessing about new operators at CMH, but I think in this case inferring new service from the aircraft types listed on the jet bridge compatibility list may be setting up a little false hope. If I recall correctly, that list also has DC9-10, DC9-30, 737-200 and other similar types on it as well. Now, don't get me wrong, some sort of classic themed start up flying planes as old as me from a CMH base might cause me to move onto the top level of the parking garage and live in a tent just to ensure prime spotting, but I don't think that is too likely. Working for a long time in government, that looks to me like something that they just add onto once in awhile and never really update. Far more relevant would be any RFPs/RFIs on gate information systems or requirements- which would likely have to identify airlines who might need to use them. Maybe there is some value to additional aircraft types on the sheet, but I have a feeling we have seen the last of the new entrants for awhile. I hope and pray I am wrong, but unless we see some crazy growth in this year, or A2 plops down on the west side of downtown... It may be a bit. Wanting to leave on a positive note-- NK has sized up to some A320 action this week and F9 is bringing in 321s, so that should be a good sign.

I've began to look into it more, and I say lets wait until July to see how the routes are performing, because if they perform well I expect good things not only out of CMH, but similar markets as well.

DeltaRules wrote:

NK's schedule on Saturdays and Sundays are nice and streamlined- the flights to TPA, MCO, FLL, RSW, and LAS are all at the same times (which shouldn't come as a terrible surprise at all), but they're also using a 1:15pm departure time as well which serves MYR on Saturday and MSY on Sunday. I'd imagine that makes it easy for the ground staff to know a flight will be at that time even if the destination is different.

And, as brooklynchris13 mentioned, CMH is seeing some upgauges to A320s to MCO, LAS, and RSW (depending on the day).

Not sure if it would be helpful to anyone, but I thought I would at least share it.

Thanks! I did notice while trying it that allegiant does not show.

Wow so this is promising,

"Though Spirit Airlines only launched at John Glenn Columbus International Airport mid-month, its passenger numbers helped the airport see a 7.9 percent surge in passengers in February.

Spirit’s 13,786 passengers for the month more than made up for Frontier Airlines’ flight cuts. Every other airline saw at least a 5 percent increase in passengers year-over-year.

Data released Tuesday also showed a strong increase in passengers at Rickenbacker Airport, where Allegiant Air is the only regularly scheduled carrier. Allegiant had a 34.8 percent increase in passengers to 17,930 as it added flights."

Very unofficial math would indicate around 26-27,000 passengers for a full month given NK started right in the middle of February. I'd be curious to see where that lands them across the rest of the field.

3rd quarter data is out, pretty impressive PDEW growth YOY at CVG.

Top decreases in airfare for nonstop markets:
1. Minneapolis/St. Paul, -$126.51
2. San Diego, -$118.85
3. Chicago, -$102.76
4. Raleigh/Durham, -$93.92
5. Detroit, -$92.95
6. Milwaukee, -$82.28
7. New York City, -$82.21
8. Nashville, -$75.97
9. San Francisco, -$73.20
10. Washington DC, -$68.23


By adding PDX, DL now serves the top 20 markets from CVG (as they said earlier, this is probably what they based that stat off of). I think by next summer, SAN and PDX should grow enough for DL to take on both routes at least seasonally (or perhaps F9 to PDX). SAN more than doubled with a new PDEW value of 131, while PDX grew to 82. Besides those two, JAX/MSY are next in line and I would expect these to come for 2019 spring.

Looking at future growth, ORF has been growing pretty steadily to a PDEW of 31, perhaps DL or G4 could try this route? SAT has a PDEW of 36, after F9 stimulates the route, I bet it would be a strong add for DL on a CRJ-700.

February board minutes for CRAA have posted. The overall thoroughness & depth of Nardone's "President & CEO Report" commentary is great. Plenty of context and details about passenger service, numbers, & destinations.

SEA, SFO, & European Hub service were mentioned in the minutes as our top priorities for new air service, as well (no surprise).
