Here's a look at January and February Load Factors for Breeze's winter routes out of PWM. These numbers are origin passengers only. I'll try to aggregate Origin / destination loads separately.
Overall very strong numbers for Breeze!
New-build apartments command a premium for the same reason that a 2024 Honda Civic costs more than a used 2010 Civic. Not to mention that these units are in the heart of the city and also include utilities and internet.
I'd also argue that the prices for most 1 and 2 bedroom units are...
This project is back (As 331 Cumberland Avenue)

Plans call for a 5-6 story, 60-unit affordable housing building. The difference this time is that the new building will extend...
Breeze has had quite strong load factors on their sunshine routes for the first two months of the year, with an average 77.5% load factor for all routes in January and 84.7% in February (Combined origin / destination load factors)
This is quite a bit better than Frontier, which had LF's...
This map is Planning staff's recommendation's for the new downtown height overlay as part of ReCode. Right now the city is hoping to get this (and many, many other zoning and land use changes) through Planning Board and City Council by October. Unless the PB or Council specifically recommend...
The jetport expects a 17% bump in available seats for summer '24

Plus a statement from a Breeze company spokesperson:
It will be Saturday-only for the summer I believe. WN is opening at crew base at BNA this year so hopefully in the future there will be more frequency.
I assume right now it's because WN is getting hit hard by Boeing delivery delays and the unclear status of the MAX-7.
If they had more birds available I could see year-round MDW being a no-brainer along with winter-seasonal MCO / FLL and summer-seasonal BNA / DEN.
An interesting little fact....in 2023 PWM had the 6th highest overall load factor for Southwest in their entire North American network at 83.6%. Beating out PVD (80.9%) and MHT (78.2%)
The amount of freight traffic going from the IMT / Yard 8 to the Mountain Branch is exactly 0. Freight moves really wouldn't be impacted by the Ferguson location. Pan Am /CSX has been involved in this process and If there was even a possibility of freight interference they wouldn't have allowed...
What a horrible, embarrassing mess. It's frustrating to see that neither side is willing to budge although Federated clearly dug themselves into this.
Bayside is in such a sorry state. A giant hole of vacant lots right in the middle of the peninsula....I wish the city would just seize all of...
Looks like 2x weekly on Thursdays and Sundays.
I'll be honest I can't see that route doing too well. ISP has been one of the lowest load-factor routes for Breeze out of Portland (it was below 60% last year) and with AA resuming LGA there's already A LOT of lift to the NY market.
It seems like it will be very similar to what was proposed in 2017-2018. Like the previous proposal it will also be a "Home2" branded hotel with frontage on Fore and India Streets with a pocket park along Middle.
