    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    It is still there! I just assumed it was MAC Jets. I just needed to look! I guess if I asked the Operations agent they might have pointed me to next door?! Thank you for that.

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    Flew in and out of PWM the other week. As others have posted, the inbound flight from MSP was nearly at capacity and the outbound flight to DFW was the same. I love the additional options available for connecting to the west coast rather than flying south along the coast to connect and then...

    Bayside Federated Companies

    A difficult part of this is when Federated was selected their portfolio was pretty much all low-rise multi-family apartments. When people show you who they are, believe them. This looked like a big endeavor for them to pull off without much of a local presence. Reps from the city had to have...

    General Portland Discussion

    This kind of discussion does a good job of raising possible ideas while allowing for some venting. If you build, or tolerate, it they will come. If you look at the city's employment page a majority of the positions posted are for housing and human services and have been for some time. Tough...

    General Portland Discussion

    Unfortunately, thank you for posting the above pic for us to commiserate over or discuss. I made my annual pilgramage back to Portland the other week and like all of us with an eye for observation around the city. The last few years I noticed the homeless encampments that the city was working on...

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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?

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

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

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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.

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Bayside Federated Companies

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    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...

    Name these US Airports from above

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