Good catch NR2Portland, I was a little perplexed with the decline in passengers but was heading out the door and should have paid closer attention. (y)

Enplanement numbers are out for October: 220,230 which is a decline of 26,214 from last year's count. Wonder what service was cut back from the previous October to cause an average loss of 845 passengers per day, Cosakita?

We may have a winner!

I think that idea was nixed by the FAA many years ago because the lower approach path (21 feet) to Runway 29 brought aircraft too close to vehicles on I295. Also, Taxiway A could not be extended so back taxi-ing would be required which would be a hindrance to cohesive airport operations. As...

That is correct. However, many of the SNA transom flights have weight restrictions and I was on a flight (757) out of John Wayne back in April that was affected. PWM is also 200 miles further east than the NYC metro area and SNA has very few weather issues when compared to Maine winters and...

Agree and One City Center should have been at least 3 floors taller in my opinion!

It was just wistful thinking on my end and I was very pleased when the runway was lengthened from 6800' decades ago. My brother is an A350 Captain for Delta and the "comfort level" magic number for commercial pilots is 8000' and he has also flown every narrow body in the fleet. Heat, humidity...

Wasn't being too greedy and only asked for 8200' which is a game changer for TATL flights. You forgot SNA at 5700, CRW at 6715, MDW at 6522 and HVN at 5600 which will be lengthened to 6650 in the future. (y)

Great photo of an inbound plane landing on Runway 29 taken by Maine Imaging who have provided excellent aerials of greater Portland and other Maine locations over the years. You can clearly see the 1000 foot markers (L) and it is evident that most aircraft only use around 5000-6000 feet of...

Screenshot from an Infinite Destinations drone video which is the best I've seen when it comes to showcasing Portland from above.

I could not agree with you more and in a world of fairness the funding should be based on an airport's enplanements but sometimes it can be the most pressing needs that win out when it comes to grant money. Very few would argue against PQI's need for a new terminal and we can debate on whether...

Numbers are out for September. PWM had 269,975 emplanements which is an increase of 23,168 over CY 2023.

But PWM has received ample federal funds which went to extending 18/36, entire rebuild of the primary runway, new taxiways, 5 new jetways, Gate 12/14 expansion, lower level terminal renovation next to baggage claim and the purchase of land for future parking. Now that the outside infrastructure...

Mainebiz article today about Presque Isle's new $54M terminal expected to break ground next year. Seems to be quite grand for one JetBlue flight a day but as NR2Portand's post claims, if you build it they will come!

Welcome to the forum MHT Spotter and it will be nice to have some insight from Manchester as far as new projects ant potential developments. Also promising to see that MHT has started to rebound with new service and destinations and maybe you can put BTV back in its place when the CY 2024...

Anyone know if the 6 month moratorium on new hotels will have an impact on this project moving forward? Because it is a transformation of a historical building and possibly already in the planning stages would it be exempt?
