Southwest 1x weekly to SAN ending August 4. Wow, that was short.

I commented on this action by WN on the SAN-thread a week or 2 ago; I think the flight will operate a total of ~9 times!

Thinking optimistically, WN can study the loads and other feedback on those few test flights operated and can then decide what their next move is. In the past, Saturday-only test flights involving SAN usually resulted in daily service in those test markets.

I'm going to remain optimistic that WN will go for daily (and even year-round?) service between ORF and SAN on some subsequent schedule! Of course there's also the possibility that someone else might enter the route no matter what WN does. WN showing interest in the market might have awakened interest by AS, or who knows who else...

There’s definitely an opportunity for daily service SAN. Last time I looked, SAN had around 200 passages per day each way! It could definitely become a daily route seasonally, and possibly year round!

The Airport announced today that a new parking garage will be constructed. Parking isn’t really an issue at ORF so I see this project as a waste of money. Although Garages B and C need to be replaced within the next 10 years so I guess this new garage is replacing B and C.

It's been a while since I posted, but I have good news!
American upgraded the ORF-MIA route to mainline for the summer!
It will be operated by an A319 and be once daily.

I think WN ORD-ATL should happen. In terms of new carriers what are the chances of ORF landing NK or F9? Both carriers are experiencing phenomenal growth.

We already have F9 here at ORF, and I imagine we’ll get Spirit here in the next few years
