They do it all the time. $29, $39, $49, etc. fares. In many cases it's more than the BOGO equation. Airlines sometimes will do that, it i also is a sign that things probably aren't going great otherwise you'd be selling tickets at your normal fares. The other part of it in this case is that Redway ...

Mr.Nuke

Nice spin Eh? Or it could be a tie in to Amazon Prime Days like a lot of other retailers do. Sure it obviously is, but I don't see any other airlines offering buy one get one free tickets either. Doesn't include taxes Which is irrelevant, because that is literally going to a government taxing entit...

Mr.Nuke

Another sign of the times. Buy one get one free the next 2 days starting tomorrow.

Mr.Nuke

Looks like Saturday only 12:30 p.m. departure 4:40 p.m. arrival @ FLL, the opposite direction is 1:55 to 4:40 p.m. Starts 1/13 and BNA resumes the same day as well.

Mr.Nuke

That was my guess for the lack of divided driveways. It’s a format used at some medium-sized California airports like Oakland, San Jose, Long Beach, and Ontario. Terminal 2 at Minneapolis, and Dallas-Love do this too. A straight split on arrivals and departures on the same road make some sense part...

That isn't what the two drawings depict to me at all, but to each their own.

Mr.Nuke

I think the times hurt, a midnight arrival was terrible in Omaha, should have been 10pm arrive to Omaha. That is likely a non-starter. As it is currently blocked right now, that would require leaving at about 5 p.m, not only tying up a plane on this route for 14 and a half hours, but also likely cu...

No..........

Mr.Nuke

The Austin and Minneapolis flights are apparently under performing.

Mr.Nuke

As to the separation of departures and arrivals on multiple levels, it’s just plain dumb not to do it. This was kind of point in the last post I get it that this is a message board but we've known for 10 years that they're not going to do it. Keep discussing away, but it isn't going to happen. Run ...

Mr.Nuke

And all I'm saying is lets wait and actually see what they do before jumping off a cliff. And stop setting unrealistic expectations you know aren't going to be met. You're only setting yourself up for disappointed. OAA- Build a temp terminal like Reno/Tahoe did and do this right. We've know for 10 y...

Mr.Nuke

1-Look at the DSM renderings compared to this. I can't believe all that old ugly brick isn't going away, floors be raised etc etc. The turd is being polished and expanded. KC & DM got/get new terminals. OMA gets a single security checkpoint, upstairs ticket/check in counters, a single file gate...

Mr.Nuke

I don’t think the renderings as presented are indicative of what the airport redesign as a whole will be, rather just part of the initial phases of the rebuild. I’d be surprised if the brick and all is there to stay. I'm not convinced the renderings are anything more than what the canopy is intende...

Mr.Nuke

Eppley just launched their new terminal website. So far it is just about the canopy project, but they do have some preliminary renderings of the terminal drive. As well as potentially the new terminal facade. They note the renderings (presumably the terminal part, are preliminary and subject to chan...

Mr.Nuke

Odd blurb all around because the second sentence's source as it states is literally an Eppley tweet about the inaugural Austin flight. That doesn't give me high confidence that they have any inside information on the last sentence. And like Novak said they're already flying to some of those places. ...

Mr.Nuke

May numbers are out. Month to date up 10%. Of note is United up 29%. Delta down 1%, American up about 5%, Southwest up 9.9%. The rest are negligible. On track to do about 4.8 million or so. All things being equal could be closer to 5 million. Like Novak said 10% for the month, 14.4% YTD https://www...

Mr.Nuke

KETV had a 6 p.m. throw away story about how the airport is busy with the college world series. Twice in the story though they strongly hinted the airport would have an announcement in the coming weeks. Hopefully we'll see some renderings then.

Mr.Nuke

On the agenda, there is also a line item about a facility agreement with Reynolds Logistics. The only thing I could find on them is that they're some Dublin based logistics company. If I had to venture a guess, Reynolds Logistics may be expanding their business of aviation fuel services to the US. ...

Mr.Nuke

would this united airlines facility agreement be for a new facility, or do they have one already in place? United has no maintenance facility at Eppley. This would be a "new" facility in that sense, but it doesn't necessarily mean a new building. STS currently handles line maintenance for...

Mr.Nuke

Based on a post on another site United may be opening some sort of maintenance operation at Eppley (probably a line station). They've got a related job posting for Aircraft Maintence Technicians in Omaha on their jobs site. https://careers.united.com/us/en/job/OMA00000056/Aircraft-Maintenance-Techni...

Mr.Nuke

Lately I've been thinking that maybe there should have been an airport between Omaha and Lincoln. Tons of land, intestate access, enough of the parochialism between Omaha and Lincoln, potential for some kind of rail service to each city, etc. It won't ever happen now of in the future but maybe it w...

Mr.Nuke

Which Eppley isn't going to get based on what we know.

Mr.Nuke

The Lincoln mayor and Orlando mayors spoke at a press conference in Orlando once the flight landed. Just the airport nerd in my but I’d want to take this flight in part because it flies into the new MCO terminal c, which is primarily used for international flights.

This should've read 4,200 seats per week by the end of the month making the math obviously even worse.

Mr.Nuke

Oh, and read the whole story in the LJS. June bookings are good, July better, August better than July. I can read, I can also read in between the lines. 10,000 seats sold through their operating schedule in November while double the last article is still not good when they're going to be operating ...

Mr.Nuke

Their inaugural flight from Lincoln just left about 40 minutes late. Another LJS today that is a lot more realistic. There's plenty of optimism, but also a fair share of uncertainty. "It could be wildly successful," said David Haring, the airport's executive director. "It could also b...

Mr.Nuke

TSA will be centralized on the 2nd level. I hope they don't make that too much of a pinch point, because it looks like maybe 5-6 lanes of TSA and then 1 exit lane for passengers leaving the terminal based on the current renderings? I see 10 rows of x-ray belts on the renderings. They're designing a...

Mr.Nuke

I just can't understand why the airport can't at least get a shuttle bus or something. You can also argue that the airport would lose a lot of parking revenue. I am forced to drive my car because of that literal last mile. You just answered your own question. Over a third of the airport's operating...

I'm skeptical on that manta listing being legitimate given the location. I'm even more skeptical when I google the phone number independently of said listing.

Mr.Nuke

Mr.Nuke

I've asked Nuke before & didn't get an answer. OMA went from 3.6M to 5+M. Pent up demand? PDEW unmet? Hard to say. I think some of it was probably pent up demand. Remember that for a 7 year period from 2007-2013 the airport actually contracted passenger wise at an average annual rate of -1.3%. ...

Mr.Nuke

Gosh, I just hope they really showcase the local restaurant scene after the remodel! And most airports have Starbucks now so I guess you have to go there too. Please, no KFC, Burger King, Godfathers etc etc. Airport food is tricky. I think there is a place for the McDonald's, Burger Kings, et al. o...

Mr.Nuke

It will be great to have it all be one large area, rather than split between the two. This will allow for some better options, retail wise, as well as food wise. Yep, we've been discussing this for some time here with the unified terminal design. Hopefully the current concession vendor has nothing ...

Allegiant has the second largest pax percentage at DSM through March of this year at 22%. Fairly small? Yes in the context of comparing Allegiant’s operations out of Des Moines to this near airport in Lincoln having 14 to 22% over the overall traffic in a multi-carrier environment seems pretty diff...

Mr.Nuke

Apples and oranges somewhat. Take a look at the story and pay attention to the list of cities UAL dropped. Every one is a very small market. But note the reason they're being dropped. They've still got roughly 100 regional planes parked due to a lack of pilots. https://simpleflying.com/regional-pil...

Mr.Nuke

I have zero inside info but it appears that the drawings are old and not finalized. Yeah, I mean we know they aren't. Per the website you found Holder will release the 80% construction documents in July. Those should be fairly close to being finalized at that point with the final documents to follo...

Mr.Nuke

On a more Eppley-related note, Holder Construction has an Eppley specific web site and it appears that we are about to see progress. Take a look at the Project Updates link: Holdler Eppley Project Page Good find. Looks like we should potentially be getting some drawings in July. The power point on ...
