PWM's busiest day of the summer season so far with 52 departures and 30 of them mainline aircraft. For comparison purposes: MHT 24 flights, 11 mainline. BGR 14 flights, 6 mainline. BTV 28 flights, 7 mainline.

Yay nomc, I've been waiting for this eyesore to be renovated for over a decade! :)

Not bad. It lost one floor on the Fore Street side and I like the use of brick and the three separate building look going down India. Any idea when construction will begin?

I am surprised that not one airline is serving either FLL, MIA or PBI from Portland. Seems like a missed opportunity along the southeast coast of Florida, any ideas why?

Great photo and this perspective allows us to imagine how the Herald Square project would balance out the skyline to the right of City Hall if it ever materializes as proposed. Not sure what the developer is waiting for?

It will be in the form of a Federal grant when it happens and there are a lot of moving parts. Construction of the mechanical/storage space on the upper level (former restaurant) so Paul and his staff can move in has been delayed at last check. Then the jetport admin offices will need to be...

Evidence showing American Airlines prominence at PWM during a recent outbound flight. There are seven AA aircraft on the ground in this afternoon photograph and it kind of resembles their hub in Charlotte! :D

Great point and you might be onto something. Losing seasonal JetBlue at Portland is a subtraction I could live with.

Time will tell and I think Breeze is making a statement to Southwest that they are a low cost player in Northern New England with service to PWM, BGR, PSM, BVT and MHT. I also believe that they are making Portland their top priority in the region as evidenced by the amount of markets served...

I don't think it will have much of an impact especially seeing that MHT is 7 miles closer to PSM than PWM which also has Breeze flights to Orlando and adds Fort Myers in October. I do agree with your overkill assessment but Breeze is all over the place when it comes to what days of the week...

Great photo TC, did you take it? You should submit it to Wikipedia. (y)

Bozeman, Wilmington NC, Huntsville AL, New Haven CT, Jackson Hole WY and Asheville NC are six small airports that are experiencing tremendous growth in passenger counts. The folks in Billings (Montana's largest city) must be beside themselves wondering how Bozeman and Missoula surpassed them in...

I agree Mark. Also busier than Madison, WI, Wichita, KS, Lexington, KY, Greensboro, NC, Eugene, OR and Huntsville, AL is pretty impressive!

Bangor is holding its own at #155 which is impressive for a city of only 32,000 while competing with cities that are much larger. Location, location. location! A side note, New Haven (HVN) jumped up to #135 with a 39% increase in passengers thanks to being chosen by Avelo Airlines as one of...

I predicted a few years ago that Burlington would eventually pass Manchester to become New England's fifth busiest airport and BTV just barely managed to prove me right!

Final enplanement numbers for CY23 have been released by the FAA and I've added a few screenshots for those of us who find this stuff interesting. PWM continued to remain in the top 100 busiest airports and is actually #93 when counting the airports in the 48 contiguous states which also...

They are at 74' as proposed and adding another floor would bring the building to 86' at the roof line so I'm guessing they could have requested a waiver for one more foot or are financially maxed out at 6 floors.

I agree!

From Wikipedia. A little misleading because Republic Airways provides regional service to PWM as Delta Connection, American Eagle and United Express. However, American Airlines has been and continues to be the busiest airline out of Portland unless Cosakita has a different take on Mark's question.

Would not be surprised to see Breeze step up and become signatory later this year and select Gate 6 once the new jetway is installed. Maybe Southwest will add more year round destinations (MDW, BNA and somewhere in Florida) and secure Gate 5 to have two side by side options. The two new gates...
