Re: Rail to KCI - 2023

Denver Metro population is 2.9. Why did this chart use "front range" that runs like 200 miles outside of Denver Metro? If that number is used then KC could take in St. Joe and Lincoln, NE. All the other cities could inflate their populations too. Stupid!

Where did that chart come from?

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Flew Long Beach LGB yesterday (Sunday 10/8) home to KC. There were 80 open seats. Not great for a Sunday afternoon.

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

As for MCI being a 5 million catch all area, not sure where that info is based off of. https://mediaassets.kshb.com/NWT/Sam/MCIPOWERPOINT.pdf?_ga=2.165421239.928322587.1676607561-355267799.1676607561#:~:text=Page%205-,MCI's%20Catchment%20Area%20is%20Nearly%205M,Kansas%2C%20Iowa%2C%20and%20Nebraska....

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

We are? I see a lot of cuts lately. The new shiny airport has a better passenger experience 100% The new shiny airport is positioned with better gates and connectivity. But was it really a new shiny airport? Coming off Covid, most airports in the USA are experiencing huge passenger numbers and growt...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

I'll say it again, new shiny airports do not warrant new air service or increased air destinations. Doesn't work that way. The whole "build it and new service will come" is a wonderful selling point by promoters and politicians. As for MCI being a 5 million catch all area, not sure where t...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

From San Antonio - info on the Condor Flight just announced... (some good highlights of what San Antonio is getting and how they got it). The nonstop flight to Frankfurt, Germany, will launch on May 17, 2024, with its initial season running through Sept. 6, 2024. The seasonal flight would operate th...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Hot take: I think Condor's striped airplanes look odd. Never even heard of them till May last year when they were launching an (apparent) inaugural flight from Boston (I was in the terminal at the time). Thought they were a newer airline. I rather have KC get a legacy name than Condor. It carries m...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Speaking of Canadian Flights,

STL just landed nonstop daily service on Air Canada beginning next year. They already serve Toronto. This is an interesting add and STL must show enough O&D to Montreal to add a daily flight.

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Truly incredible how every other city but us is able to get a TATL flight There are a lot of other cities that don't have TATL service. Unless our business community puts a pledge of monies together or fuels business class airfares from KC, we may not get anything substantial. As for reputable &quo...

The twitter poster is all over the place and has change their story and posts over and over. I'm confused. I would say we are getting a Mexican Airline or a Hawaii route?

You don't see us posting "bump" on their "blog." Never feed the troll.
Exactly^ which is very telling
Bump means I posted the same this three times and I couldn't delete. Idiots

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

The ShowMe institute is widely known to be an opinion “think-tank” that is hardly based in fact. They use very heavy handed and often misrepresented data to paint a VERY specific picture. See example: KC Streetcar, new terminal at MCI, Abatement & incentive discussion. I’m not saying that all y...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Something worth monitoring: https://simpleflying.com/breaking-mexico-regains-faa-category-1-status/ Very interesting stuff. Maybe flights to Mexico City by Mexican-based airlines will start to show up. I agree! I truly think a flight to KC from Mexico from a AeroMexico would be great. We have a hug...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

LH launched RDU and MSP. Also restarted SEA. A slate of US cities also received increased frequencies or upgauge. STL was left untouched at 3x weekly. Plenty of chatter from STL netiziens that this is a bad sign. I guess LH previously dropped that 3x service isn’t sustainable long term. The worry n...

Only corporate travel provides enough paid premium revenue to assure the airlines when new destination decisions are made.
