Do we know who will be utilzing the new perminant gates? Will they be addiitonal gates for American or common use gates for other carriers? Are those gates planned to be opened in June?

I think the photo is a great idea, if possible. Covers all the bases. Or update the Back Cove photo in Baggage Claim (but have not been to the Jetport since last fall). I did see a more recent photo. It looks from last fall...

Happy New Year! It looks like American has loaded daily DFW non-stops beginning at the start of June on 737-800's with an A321 on Saturdays. Still a ways off, but that's the earliest in the year that they've started daily service instead of Saturday summer service. Good sign...

Did anyone else see the news of the Houston (IAH) new service announcement today on United? Looks to be the typical seasonal Saturday/weekend add, but it's a great add of a large market and for connectivity to points south and west! Flight doesn't look to be loaded yet, so not sure if it's on...

I can attest to the Labor Day rental situation. Rental return was busy. They had closed off the lower return ramp and made us return in make shift return spots and signage on regular levels of the garage. Maybe that's common now? I flew in and out PWM twice this summer. Both times quite busy...

Any idea if Taxiway A will need to be closed during the project duration during the day too, or just with the night work? If the runway remains open during the day and portions of the taxiway closed would they have to back taxi on the runway?

I'll take Liberty to Bragg about Fayetteville, NC.

Good for BGR to gain a new carrier. For a Utah-based carrier Breeze seems to want to saturate the northeast with their brand & service with not much focus put on the west coast or midwest. With the northern New England adds they sure prove the demand is still north-south. It seems the only way...

I'd go with Wilmington, DE to Wilmington, NC courtesy of Avelo.

I was very surprised to see Frontier actually adding destinations after their recent drawback. Seems like they are trying to capitalize on Portland/Maine bringing in tourists to a leisure based destination similar to United tried to do during Covid. Perhaps trying to find summer routes until the...

I agree with the concession issues raised. Anyone know when the concessionaires agreement/contract will go back on the street? My experience this summer after a departing afternoon flight delay was the options were poor. Burger King was the only real option minus a sit down meal. The trend now...

I would think the value of the land would continue to rise especially if entitled for high density residential. I was very skeptical when Federated was chosen as their portfolio at the time looked to be a bunch of low-rise multi-family development and wondered if the high rise proposals out of...

Agreed on Avelo and Allegiant. I just thought it odd that Avelo ran 3 charters on the same day right before they announced new routes. I noticed the same thing with Frontier. I thought they might be ready to throw in the towel at PWM and they loaded a bunch of Orlando frequencies, but many are...

I hope the predictions on Breeze materialize. Glad to hear they are doing well as Breeze still seems to be finding their way, The load factors are good but are they turning a profit on the routes or just filling seats at low prices. I noticed that 3 Avelo flights landed at PWM today. Came in...

They must have built Austin Straubel International Airport for Packers home game weekends.
