Have you talked to them? The team is fairly accessible if you have that much an issue with the executionbeautyfromashes wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 6:08 pmAcceptable facility is a HUGE one. When discussions of a nonstop to Europe have happened in the past, the immediate response was always, "We have a terrible facility that would have to be replaced first." It was an acceptable response because it was true. When the airport was passed and the same questions came up, the response was, "We need incentive money from the state." Well, we got that. We've shown we can attract world class events. We're growing in population in our area versus the other "comparable" cities that are losing population. So, there comes a time when you have to ask the question if it's not the money or the facilities, maybe it's the people selling them. And that's all I'm doing.

Aus is going to take a bit to sort out. It's an odd city.

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Some minor news. KMBC is reporting more details on the aviation dept. is turning to Kansas to match the $5 mil that Missouri provided, and get the total to $10 mil.

I think it's funny BFA and other were literally just suggesting this like two days ago.

Lucas then went on to say he's "very optimistic" that a regional match will happen. He argues that the majority of airport users are already from Kansas anyway, and they too need TATL flight. They hope soon to have answer."We don't think that is a tough sell, we've had a great relationship with Gov. Kelly's administration and the state legislature. We think this is the type of regional cooperation that Missourian's & Kansan's want."

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
I like the Austin nonstop, it served as a connecting point for me when flying to Cancun a few months ago. It makes for a good connecting point for Mexico and Central America but i doubt they will increase operations/frequency of flights there

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Their airport down there is over capacity by something like 8 million pax annually. They have to add the new concourse before you’ll see more flight trafficbrewcrew1000 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 1:44 pmI like the Austin nonstop, it served as a connecting point for me when flying to Cancun a few months ago.

I imagine they are talking to lots of airlines, if not they aren’t doing their job. I’m not going to get my hopes up.

How many times have we seen political leaders or airline people in London over the last decade. Still no flights there. I am not going to read anything into it.

Yea KCI talks to many airlines but Lufthansa is the only airline the governor has mentioned meeting with overseas.

Why would you fly all the way to Europe just for a one week flight for a Chiefs game..

I hope something like that is not subsidized. That would be pointless and a waste of money.brewcrew1000 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 10:10 pm Parsons is probably talking to Lufthansa to get a special nonstop flight for the chiefs game happening in Munich, will have this special flight for like a week

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
I just don't agree with the thought that it has to be a hub or nothing at all, AMS/CDG/LHR or bust. Prove demand with another major city. We pack planes to Rome or Barcelona or Madrid, the hubs will likely notice and respond. We need a proof of concept. I know so many people who would go to any city that's a nonstop. So many people went to Iceland that wouldn't have otherwise due to the nonstop.

Just like last year.
Not sure what other airlines he would talk to anyway. No airline in Sweden, his other stop, is coming.
I’m just skeptical anything comes of these trips. They look good but I’m not sure what he really can do airline or otherwise just meeting with companies that already have a presence in the state. Seems like just taking advantage of a free trip to Europe, not that I blame him.
