I think it's also that, when deregulation made the industry more competitive, competing on price became the norm, which democratized air travel but the reduced income per seat had to be balanced somewhere. in fact, I just looked on WP, and Braniff itself ceased flight operations in 1982...

The runoff is a good point; everything in that area, around Western Ave. and the Turnpike interchange, that isn't paved is a wetland full of cattails. If the runoff can be dealt with, the next question that comes to my mind is, how can the Turnpike interchange ramps be graded in and out of the...

But is there demand for that many TATL seats out of Portland? Longer runway gets you bigger jets, which means more seats that need to be filled. I can't foresee Portland having the volume to compete with BOS, of course, but as an economic matter I think if we could get one or more of the...

Scarborough is nearly 50 square miles, settled as decentralized farmland that is gradually turning into single-family neighborhoods. Trying to create anything "integrated into the community" is probably an impossible ask. Simply put, anyone moving to Scarborough in the first place, except for...

Wow. Interesting that that's the piece they're putting on the Portland side of the line. I still hope the Italian place from DC they mention in some of their collateral is coming!

Well, if one believes them there's the entire Portland subreddit for starters...

Spirit formalizes its troubles... Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy

Hobby is also a better choice if your actual destination is Galveston. Not that we made that choice on my one visit there, but still...

Considering that the peninsula is about 40% of the city population, based on Council districts, they make up c.14% out of that overall 16%.

From the linked article: Passive aggressive much?

That was me last April. It was freezing, and we were standing on the tarmac while we waited for our wheelchair user to be unloaded from an Embraer on a damp cold night! Do we know, are the gate desks for 12 and 14 going to be in the walkway (presumably part of the Budd buildings), or is there...

Rip it up and put in a peoplemover! /dream.

COS might handle about the same number of passengers as Portland, but the city is also home to the Air Force Academy, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and the summer Olympic Training Center. Scheduled flights to Cancun might be flashy, but I bet that it'll handle a lot more Netjets, etc.

This will be even more convenient for cruise passengers once Brightline opens their Cocoa station; the train station is in Terminal C.

I'm going to be on it next week!

Understood, the job I was referring to was her perch on Appropriations. With Mitch McConnell stepping down as Republican leader, I don't know if his hopeful successors would be interested in keeping a Northeastern not-so-conservative in one of the most powerful spots in the country. (Sorry for...

So far as I'm aware, the Customs facility is still "off in the future," unless Grandma Susan can pull in some cash (assuming she keeps her job). The last time I drove all the way down to Jetport Blvd. and Westbrook St., nothing had happened at the hotel site. I have no idea on the others.

Of all places (WARNING: REALLY SUCKY ANNOYING WEBSITE), WCYY.com has a story complaining about the "monstrosity" that is the cold storage facility....

So next to Longhorn... nice! At the same time, it's a shame that it's taking one of the few parking lots that's still heavily used.

I did see an update to the Press Herald story that said that indeed, the new grill place will be part of the Phase 2 build we've been waiting for. Hopefully they get the application going soon after the medical place opens!
