It may be easier to get to Disney World than Disneyland from Omaha next year.
Starting in March, Southwest Airlines will begin offering a nonstop flight from Omaha's Eppley Airfield to Orlando, Fla., on Saturdays.
But after Jan. 6, Midwest Airlines will stop offering its daily nonstop flight from Omaha to Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX. That is the only nonstop flight from Omaha to LAX, which is northwest of Disneyland.
Midwest Airlines, which used to be called Midwest Express, began offering the service this spring after canceling its two nonstop flights to LAX after the terrorist attacks in 2001.
Michael Brophy, a spokesman for the airline, said the route "did not generate the adequate financial return" to continue operation.
Don Smithey, executive director of the Omaha Airport Authority, said airport officials are trying to persuade another airline to fly nonstop to LAX.

On a side note, I flew out of Eppley Thanksgiving Day and noticed that the B concourse has a new concession stand area. Maybe this is old news, I don't know, haven't flown out of Eppley in a while, but the B concourse they are now in the center of the concourse where the pay phones used to be and are in a little complex designed to look like an airplane hangar.
Oh, and the bathrooms have been remodeled. Â :)

If so, that was there last year when I went to Vegas the week after thanksgiving. Â Looks nice.

Is it just me, or is the security area in Eppley kind of embarassing? Â It takes up about half of the concourse and really fits in the area kind of awkwardly. Â I know it has been like this for several years now, but maybe I just never noticed it until now...
Granted, I understand there is nowhere else for it to go and that's all we have, but hopefully this will be addressed in the near future during a potential/dreamed about expansion...
On a positive note, I will say that every time I have been at the airport this fall, it was packed. Â I think these increases in numbers we have seen is actually starting to be a bit more noticeable, in person that is.

Eppley running short on parking for cars and planes

The Omaha Airport Authority today is expected to award a construction contract to add 720 spaces to the airport's parking garage. That project has an estimated cost of $12 million.
Smithey said the airport will be updating its master construction plan next year, but no plans are on the table for expanding Eppley's terminal. But, he said, just like the parking situation, officials are constantly monitoring conditions in the terminal, which has a north and south wing.

That project has an estimated cost of $12 million.
But how far would you be able to build it out from the airport for $12 million. Â All the way to downtown... which wouldn't do much good as people would still have to use parking lots.Whatever you do, please, for the love of God, don't set aside any of the money to help with any form of mass transit, such as a streetcar or light rail, that might actually prevent the need to continually spend money on parking lot expansion.
Obviously the $12M isn't going to do much on its own, and obviously cars aren't going away. Â The problem is there is no plan, or even a suggestion of a plan, in place from the city or state to help guide projects like this away from the endless seas of parking lots and garages towards something that might actually be feasible, economical, and responsible in 10 or 25 or 50 years. Â Sure, you hear the talks about streetcars all the time, but why no development guidelines to point the infrastructure in the right direction?Uffda wrote:But how far would you be able to build it out from the airport for $12 million.

To me, the apathy towards this issue in this city - and other smaller cities like Omaha - is mind-boggling. Â This is a major issue that other cities are addressing aggressively, and it will be a competitive advantage for them in the future when it comes to attracting businesses and residents.

Stable genius.
Don't overlook the volume of traffic generated at Eppley from outside the immediate metro though - like Uffda says, we can't have them all parking downtown and just transfer the problem of parking. Â This is just to address immediate and short-term needs for more parking. Â And heck, even in places with suitable mass transit options available at the airport, those places are putting up more parking all the time as well.

Why the hello won't the city run bus service to Eppley? Â Gosh it would be so nice to be able to leave the car at home out of the elements and take the bus to and from the airport, like in other cities. Â They could run special Eppley busses, outfitted with luggage racks inside, down Dodge St. and over to the airport every 30 minutes. Â Charge $4 or $5 each way. Â It would be well worth it.Big E wrote:Whatever you do, please, for the love of God, don't set aside any of the money to help with any form of mass transit, such as a streetcar or light rail, that might actually prevent the need to continually spend money on parking lot expansion.

That's quite an increase for Frontier! Do they fly anywhere besides Denver now? From Omaha, direct, that is?jjjjhskr wrote:Frontier    19,095 up 47.3%
I'm wondering if their increase had anything to do with them using bigger planes out of Omaha. For a long time it seemed like you got the toy planes only out of Omaha, but the last couple of trips it's been full-size real planes with a nice little map of where they are on the seat-back screen and such.

I wonder what the weather did to the December numbers. Â United had labor issues in December. Â All in all, about what was predicted. Â Not that it was a huge loss but Sioux City has seen increases due to Frontier service. Â Des Moines was up a bit, but given all their new service it should have been more...not to mention all the caucus traffic. Â This year will be interesting, and I'll give the first prediction for 2008: 4,553,285. Â Modest growth.
Just for fun, take a look at OKC & TUL. Â
I still say its time for Southwest to step it up with flights to LAX, SLC, Orlando, and BWI, Airtran to bring service to Atlanta & Orlando, Midwest to anywhere in Florida, and just for fun, how about someone bringing service to Laguardia, Dulles, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, Miami, and more and more. Â Smithey needs to make this the year he advertises in Lincoln, Des Moines, and Omaha, like other cities do. Â Time to get agressive and really grow the airport. Â Get out and press the airlines too.
And by the way, how about a hotel on property? Â The airport inn was there for decades, and other airports have them. Â
Just an opinion....

My take on the numbers:
December 2007 Â Â
346,813 up 1.6%
year to date
2007 Â Â Â Â Â Â
4,421,274 up 4.5%
By airline in December 07 vs December 06
Southwest   80,016 up 3.0%
added an additional flight in December of 07 to STL and only up 3%, should be up 6% based of 15 flights/ day. Â Look for OMA-DEN to be announced in May.
United      60,484 down 10.2%
United ran 6x757's last year in December to Omaha. Â This was down to 1 or 2 this year. Â Look for united to maintain OMA and keep your fingers crossed for OMA-LAX, I think it will happen this year, as long as Smithey gets it into gear. Â
Northwest   46,999 down 8.1%
As northwest gets more CR9's and E175's, they will slowly replace the 50 seaters with 70 seaters. This should bring northwest back to around 50 to 55,00 passengers per month.
American    42,724 down 3.6%
Should hold their own, service is exactly the same as last year
Delta       27,573 down 16.5%
Look for further downturn from delta. Â For this January, they cut a flight to salt lake, cincy, and Atlanta for a 23% reduction in the number of seats offered
Continental  23,100 up 1.4%
29% increase in seats coming May 5th with 3 flights a day to Cleveland.
Midwest     19,508 up 26.7%
Dropped LAX but still have 5 flights to Milwaukee instead of 4. Â You will see some single digit gains through April then around 10% declines April though December with the loss of the LAX flight.
Frontier    19,095 up 47.3%
New CEO means much less service to Omaha through "right sizing the plane size for the market". Â Frontier is switching all Omaha flights to regional jets. Â This will mean some huge declines this year. Â It could be worse though because Frontier's load factor out of Omaha was pretty poor so smaller planes will mean a higher load factor. Â 35% reduction in seats and 10% increase in load factor would mean a about a 25% reduction in passengers this year. Â
USAirways   18,408 up 10.6%  Lets hope for OMA-CLT service.  I give it a 25% chance that it happens this week with the US Airways announcement of 3 new routes.  Otherwise, look for some 5%-10% gains.
Express Jet   8,632  Worried about these guys.  Added Tucson service and only saw enplanement increase by a 1000 or so for a load factor of 55% for the month.  I think OMA-TUS is on borrowed time.  Lets keep our fingers crossed that it stays around through the summer when OMA is very strong.  could see service to Sacramento too.  I give it a 20% chance. Â
Adding all this up:
These airlines are downsizing Omaha: Delta, Frontier and Midwest. Â Continental is upsizing about the amount to offset delta's decline. Â Expressjet didn't start Omaha until April/ May of last year so look for some gains from them too for the year. Â Without any additional service, this will amount to a 2%-3% decline for the year. Â
If we get new service to Denver on Southwest, LA on United or if Airtran comes to town this will all change. Â The only way we will see big gains are from airtran service to ATL and MCO or southwest to denver at 3x daily. Â These would be felt more in 2009 though with schedules all ready done through August on most airlines.

I didn't think to ask that. Â He is in a management position at the airport so I didn't question him. Â He said that no matter what has happened with the economy, gas prices, grounded planes, the numbers at Eppley just keep going up and up. Â That was his guess for this year.OmahaJaysCU wrote:6 Million!?!?

I heard the same thing. Â Jumping right over 5M to 6M. Â Especially with all the new flights and destinations planned to be announced soon. Â Another parking garage and temporary gates til the new terminal gets built.Brad wrote:My source at the airport also guessed that they would be close to 6million passengers this year.

Is the big jump going to be because of the Olympic trials? Â The reason I'm asking is because we are seeing more records being broke, but the current pace still wouldn't pass 5mil for the year..
Then again, if there is going to be new flights scheduled, that alone would increase traffic right?

Southwest adding DEN 3x a day will be a nice boost. So far OMA is doing pretty well when compared with airports across the midwest in the same size category.
However, keep on eye on Midwest Airlines. Things do not look good for them. They are rumored to be grounding 5 of their 717s which could affect their Milwaukee or DC service here.
