Mr.Nuke

United appears to have updated their schedule again. SFO is downgraded to Embrarer 175 and now starts on the 9/7 instead of 9/6 Again hopefully with it less than a month out now this will stick.

Mr.Nuke

I fly to SF often. I have booked the direct multiple times on United only to have it changed to connecting in Denver as the flight gets closer. So I have a direct SF to Omaha on Sept 6. It still shows direct! Hopefully I did not just jinx it. I still think the fact it changed to an actual mainline ...

Mr.Nuke

How do they calculate this if there are no direct flights? I’m not arguing with you, I’m just curious. No it is a really good question. Prior to the late 70's airlines were regulated by the Federal government. The CAB had to approve any route, attempting to promote service to markets and limiting c...

I haven’t done this for a while, but here are Q1 2022 PDEWs for Eppley Phoenix 364 Las Vegas 233 Orlando 227 Denver 210 Dallas/Fort Worth 165 Los Angeles 165 Chicago 163 Washington D.C. 123 Atlanta 116 Miami 107 Tampa 105 New York City 101 Houston 99 Fort Myers 83 Seattle 76 San Francisco 64 San Die...

Mr.Nuke

As for FLL it serves a somewhat different clientele than MIA. More north. It is and it historically has had near equal demand to Miami from Omaha. 1st Quarter 2022 PDEW to FLL was 50.5, a bit off compared to pre-pandemic PDEWS in Q1 2018 of 65 and Q1 2019 of 70. Miami (MIA) 2022 PDEW in Q1 was 56. ...

Mr.Nuke

Given that they landed Houston with $750,000 (although it took several years and ended up being a different airline to a different airport than they had wanted) I think with $3 million they land something... The bigger question to me is how much can they actually get? Their only other destinations a...

Mr.Nuke

I see other airports picking up frequencies & some picking up destinations. I get that there are staffing issues and other issues but I feel that OMA is not getting a little love from current airlines. At the same time, Omaha isn't missing much other than the aforementioned four routes. I'm int...

Mr.Nuke

KETV just had a really odd promo during their 6 p.m. news tonight (Saturday) that mentioned Rob, Julie, and Bill Schammert, but not Alexandra Stone. I'm wondering if that may be part of the mystery opening.

Mr.Nuke

Do you have a breakdown by airline, June 2019 vs 2022 for Eppley? I wonder what is causing the seat count down? I don't think it's soutwest. I think it's Alaska and United mainly? Maybe Delta as well. https://www.flyoma.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/june-2019-traffic-statistics.pdf It is pretty mu...

Mr.Nuke

https://www.kcci.com/article/number-of-passengers-using-the-des-moines-iowa-airport-keeps-climbing-pre-pandemic/40589327 Looks like DSM finally exceed 2019 pre pandemic levels for June 2022. I wonder if OMA will as well? Eppley did not. June up 7% year over year and up 36.6% YTD. That is off 11.8% ...

Mr.Nuke

I wonder what Delta's share is at KCI in comparison to OMA. Obviously, they had more traffic in general, but SWA runs about 34-36% of the pax load at OMA with AA, Delta each around 20% and United around 14-15% yearly. And that goes back consistently to at least the 2018 numbers so there hasn't much...

Mr.Nuke

That's true, but their respective passenger volumes are far higher than Eppley's. Still a long way to go in many aspects before Omaha all growed up. I deleted a more poorly worded response that I had made to this early in the week, but yes, I that is basically what I was a addressing in the first h...

Mr.Nuke

Thoughts about Eppley encouraging airport lounge development with the renovation? How far away are we from a Sky Club in Omaha? Quite a ways... Kansas City which will get a Delta Sky Club as part of the new terminal down there had nearly 2.1 million passengers on Delta alone in 2019. Omaha had abou...

Mr.Nuke

Eppley and LNK on a list of 85 airports to receive part of $1 billion from the FAA for improvements. Not sure if this is in addition to the $7.25 million allocated to OMA that was announced back in Dec of 2021 for the '22 fiscal year or not. That list had 3,000 airports earmarked and I think had $2...

Mr.Nuke

Not sure if this has been noted previously in the thread, but with construction possibly on the move soon I was checking around the interweb for news. It appears now Paslay Group is onboard versus Corgan? First of all good find. Beyond that I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion at all based ...

Mr.Nuke

I wonder how much it's costing to get the flight. It is costing all of "us" $750,000. https://www.eomahaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=342105#p342105 And it looks like per the linked article in the initial post, United and or Commutair is inline for an additional $500,000+ In 2018, the airpor...

Mr.Nuke

April up 38.5%, and up 57.2% YTD.
https://www.flyoma.com/wp-content/uploa ... istics.pdf

Mr.Nuke

A hub is unlikely in my opinion but an increase in connecting traffic is pretty much guaranteed. We'll see. I'd be a little surprised to see anything significant connecting wise given that the one airline who might do it, has much larger operations at fairly geographically close airports. Southwest...

Mr.Nuke

Did we have this timeline already? Anyway, I am glad it is moving forward. Eppley's Terminal Modernization Program is officially taking off again, with design efforts resuming after a pause during the pandemic. "We anticipate some construction to begin in late 2023. Really getting underway 202...

Mr.Nuke

The KETV story really didn't say anything new. I'll add a link when they put it on their website.

Mr.Nuke

Looks like KETV is running a story on Eppley tomorrow night on the 10pm broadcast. Teasing it for air travel as a result of the pandemic, airline prices and terminal modernization. I saw the promo as well. I don't have high expectations, but on the the other hand these are the type of stories that ...

Mr.Nuke

Eppley is seeing some Berkshire upgauges today, AA is flying mainline on their LGA flight as well as an ORD flight United is flying 1 mainline flight from both EWR and SFO as well as extra hub mainline flights from ORD, IAH, and DEN.

Mr.Nuke

I went to the museum today and was really disappointed to see the entire Southern wing of the original building i.e. the European and Impressionist paintings were already completely closed off (and most already crated up). If you know you're closing for 2 years you seemingly could've left the collec...

Mr.Nuke

Mr.Nuke

I see that space is limited but I think with some out of the box thinking and integrating the garages it could be done. It is a moot point now. I think we've discussed it here before, but even 2 more gates can mean substantially more flights and destinations. It could, but... We're nowhere near uti...

Mr.Nuke

Maybe I missed somewhere that says otherwise, but the departures roadway could be on a second level (opposite of what you wrote but usually how airports are arranged) that is built on top of first level interior space, creating a tiered effect that would appear that departures and arrivals are on t...

Mr.Nuke

I can’t wait to see what the final design is, hopefully something impressive. It seems a bit short sighted to only add 2 gates to start with. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if the final design has a drop off ramp to the 2nd floor for departures. It is a balancing act, but they're no where near utliz...

Mr.Nuke

On a related note, there were a couple of items on the OAA agenda a couple of months back regarding the expansion/renovation/whateveryouwanttocallit project. Do you have any info on where Eppley stands regarding the timeline? What specifically were the items? I know it's demand driven but how about...

Mr.Nuke

I'm curious about your thoughts on SDO, PDX, others returning sometime to OMA. How about BOS, PHL, BWI, etc.? I have passengers daily each way data through Q3 2021 now. I was planning on waiting to get the full year from last year and then doing a bit of a deeper dive to see if anything looked inte...

Mr.Nuke

February was up 86.4% and 83.6% year-to-date. https://www.flyoma.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/february-2022-traffic-statistics.pdf Thoughts? Additions? News? Numbers look good to me. Nice to see the big increases in mainline flying from Delta and United. The only thing on my radar right now is if...

Mr.Nuke

Not news for OMA, but SkyWest Airlines can't stop services until at least July 8th (unless replacement carriers are found) for 29 routes including Scottsbluff, Kearney and North Platte. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-bars-skywest-ending-service-29-communities-pending-review-2...

Mr.Nuke

I've been doing quite a bit of shopping lately, but it still seems like the airlines are still in the "wait and see" period. It seems like they haven't fully loaded their fares/routes yet. It makes it difficult to book if there is nothing to book. How far out are you looking? The reason I...

Mr.Nuke

United's latest round of route cuts includes EWR-OMA. https://thepointsguy.com/news/united-airlines-cuts-domestic-routes/ That one is a disappointing loss for Omaha. Yeah you can still get to NYC directly via LGA on Delta or American, but (and yeah this can be replicated on other airlines or still ...

Mr.Nuke

I don't know if this was mentioned here yet, but Customs and Border Protection is now doing Global Entry interviews at Eppley. This is a program that allows expedited passport processing back into the United Sates. https://www.flyoma.com/passenger-services/global-entry-tsa-precheck/ Has anyone had ...

Mr.Nuke

Yeah remember things were fine in January 2020. COVID didn't have an impact until Mid March.

Mr.Nuke

January starts off up 80.7% over last year.
