As far as American is concerned, the Eagle maintenance hub definitely has to be a big draw. I would assume it is much easier for Eagle to cycle ERJs in for maintenance with scheduled service to several cities from CMH. In addition, the lack of any true dominant carrier, especially after America...

American's December schedule continues the airline's steady increase in flights from Columbus with an additional flight to Boston. Flight 4550 will leave at 11:30AM (within 25 mins of jetBlue's BOS flight), and will be flown with an ER3. With the additional flight, American and American Eagle...

It looks like Delta is finalizing their winter schedule, which includes upgrading the current E170 flight from CMH to SLC to an MD-90, effective in mid-December.

Some very late schedule modifications for Delta out of CMH have been added for September. The above-mentioned frequency decreases are still effective, however 3 routes get flights upgraded from and ERJ-145 to an EMB-170: CMH-FLL goes from 1x ER4 to 1x E70 CMH-TPA goes from 2x ER4 to 1x E70, 1x...

There will probably be another tweaking of the schedule before the winter travel season, so the schedule could change by the time December rolls around. It doesn't change the fact that Delta's scheduled service from CMH has really been faltering as of late. Along with the mainline reductions...

Does anyone know whether AA plans to upgrade service from snowbird destination in the Midwest to Miami? I know IND-MIA is slated to have the 738 that currently operates on the route downgraded to an ERD, however could it possibly go back to a 738 during the winter? I'm sure AA's 738 fleet is...

The schedule for September is showing an additional flight to DFW from CMH, to be flown with a mainline aircraft, bringing the total up to 6. An 11th frequency is to be added in August to ORD as well, to be flown with a CR7. So assuming everything else stays current, AA/AE will have a total of...

Apparently the route has been doing quite well, not only filling the passenger cabin but the cargo bin as well. Evergreen uses the redeye to ship cargo over to Columbus, providing DL with even more revenue on the route. In fact, come June, Delta will add a one-stop LAX flight leaving CMH at...

Nothing major, but the updated schedule on AA.com shows a 10th CMH-ORD flight, though one of the aircraft on the route gets downgraded from a CR7 to an ER4. Also, all BOS flights and most LGA flights go to ERDs from ER3s for some reason. All in all, 27 flights from CMH, starting in April: 10x...

Looks like the second CMH-LAS flight is coming back online starting October 1...at least according to the online reservations.

I noticed this change in the September schedules as well. USAirways will be adding a relatively significant amount of mainline flights out of Columbus and Indianapolis, bringing mainline back to DCA as already mentioned, as well as adding mainline to other routes. From Indianapolis, PHL will...

Interesting. AA/AE seems to be extremely cautious when it comes to expanding out of CMH. Each schedule change for several months now has yielded an additional frequency or upgraded aircraft on their routes from CMH, but nothing momentous. With the additional LGA flight, AA/AE will have 34...

America West is still paying the leases on all their gates in Concourse B. Their lease doesn't expire until December of this year, so even though they're not using all the gates, they still owe money to the airport. United has been using some of the Dew bridges on the north side of the terminal...

Looking through the schedules, it appears a 4th CMH-RDU flight will be added also in September. The flight will utilize an ERJ-140, with the remaining 3 flights operating with ERJ-135 aircraft. With the added frequency, American, American Connection, and American Eagle (well, just about all...

Yup, it closed down with the hub operation. Originally they had told us that they would keep it open, but then went ahead and closed it due to "lack of demand." When you have only four A320s in and out of a station a day, is it really that hard to predict that demand will be significantly less...
