Hub in Tampa or Orlando?
If you were starting an airline and had to choose between these two cities to headquarter which would you choose? Both of these cities are growing very quick and have a large population. They both have many pros and cons. Tampa has a growing business community and has recently been named one of the top places to start or relocate a company headquarters in America. It also may be easier to establish a presence because there is less traffic going through. The big negative to me is that it is smaller with shorter runways and less area to expand around it. Orlando has a bigger airport with longer runways, more room to expand, and also attracts people from all over the world. the only real negative i can think of is that its a larger tourism market instead of a business market. I personally don't think you could necessarily go wrong with either one because of their strengths and in the future there could be a high speed train in the future connecting these two because of their close proximity to each other.
Re: Hub in Tampa or Orlando?
Neither ?
Do you really mean an airline hub, cuz neither city or airport seems particularly suited to the role.
Buuuuuuuuuut... if I absolutely had to pick - it'd be Orlando. Gotta start a hub operation with significant O/D traffic, and Orlando certainly has that. Ops to Mexico and Central America are pretty darn obvious, can't say that'd be true from Tampa.
