Any word on Austin finally getting JFK or MIA service? I would love to never have to connect though DFW again.

MIA-AUS is the next MIA-PHX. It keeps getting delayed, but it will eventually happen. Currently set for 31Jan08, but we'll have to wait for it to be "official".

MIA-PHX was originally set for 04Sep06, and won't launch until 13Dec07.

Any more flights to Anc this summer than just the one DFW?

Any more flights to Anc this summer than just the one DFW?

Extremely unlikely, especially since AA will have less 757s in their fleet next summer than this past summer.

 

[MiAAmi]

2 additional flights for CMH

02JAN AE 4857 CMHLGA 155P 340P ERD for total of 5 nonstops daily except SUN

02JAN AE 4558 CMHBOS 1245P 230P ER3 for total of 2 nonstops daily except SUN

now if we can only get a second daily CMH-MIA

 

[MAH4546]

We already have our first new route of winter 2008 (actually, a resumed route):

Miami-Antigua, daily 738, 19Nov08.

Any news on IF/WHEN ORD-PDX is coming back?

Any news on IF/WHEN ORD-PDX is coming back?

There is a very slim chance it comes back in April, but it is likely not returning.

There is a very slim chance it comes back in April, but it is likely not returning.

If that is really the case, any bets on how long it takes to completely pull out? I mean, PDX has gone from 16 flights in summer 2001, with 2 757's to DFW, to 4 80's a day to only DFW. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I know the station is expecting to get ORD back, as they aren't having any layoffs. I just haven't seen or heard anything from HDQ yet. I can only hope.

There is an absolutely 0% chance AA will pull out of Portland.

A resumption of PDX-ORD next spring is slim, but further out in the future, the return of ORD-PDX, as well as starting MIA-PDX (which was actually going to launch at the end of January 2002, but never announced), aren't far-fetched. AA doesn't have planes right now to fly marginal routes. ORD-PDX has been a weak performer as of late.

Hey Mark,

I just noticed that ORD-DME is listed as a 777 in RES. Is this a definite change? Or are they trying to see if people are willing to purchase F/C? Also, any clue when the PEK route will be a final award?
