PIT-FRA

[jetpiedmont79]

Has anyone heard anything further about the resumption of the PIT-FRA route? Possibly with the ATA 757's, this would free up a 762 for the route?

Not impossible but highly improbable.

They don't know... they'll find out... and they'll get back with you on that.

 

[Boeing Boeing GONE]

Dont hold your breath, that will not happen this year, maybe nexy year..

 

[732guy]

If they've decided to start it again they will announce it. Don't count on the route though. PIT is a tiny shell of what it used to be and despite what Allegheny County says they need a lot of feed to make that flight work. Bayer doesn't put 70-100 pax on each flight to make it work.

757 would barely make it. PIT-FRA = 3,580 nm
<Max range with full payload IN STILL AIR for a 757-200 with the higher max take off certification is 3,930 nm.

The ATA 75's talked about are -300 Models. More then enough Range for PIT-FRA.

 

[usairways85]

Well the 753 has a range of 3485nm and the 752 has a range of 3929nm. Now i'm not positive what engines the aircraft in question have but it looks like the 752 has a longer range than the 753.

Sorry...they are not -300's. they are 757-23N that were ex-ATA then operated by Air Horizons until Air Horizon ceased operation in Dec 2005 and the lease holder put them up for sale/lease.
here are the aircraft.......

And by the way the -200 has a longer range than the -300.
757-200 = 3,900 nm
757-300 = 3,395 nm

Continental Airlines is getting ATA's former 757-300s, that was announced last year.

Correct. Continental already has them.

 

[AIRWOMAN]

Correct. Continental already has them.

The 757's that US Airways are getting are the ones that the west side looked at a few months back. But they were configured more like the east side aircraft than the west side aircraft......thus the decision to run them from the east.
