OneJet announced it would open its second operating base at Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport. Starting Nov. 1, there will be direct nonstop service from there to Columbus and Omaha.
The airline will have four daily flights to and from each city.
OneJet opened its first base in Pittsburgh in 2016 with two daily flights. The company now offers more than 160 weekly flights.
Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Interesting that the former CEO of Midwest Airlines is an investor in this company. I know someone on here, probably NovakOmaha has said we were a hub for that airline at one time.
Also these are small planes. Still another nonstop with twice daily service.

Even though very small, it’s another nice “get”..
This brings OMA to 34 non stop destinations I believe...

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
34 would be correct. At 4 round trips per day with 9 passenger planes you're only looking at somewhat over 2,000 passengers per month. Not much of a windfall but hey, why not?
I still feel that Boston, JFK, BWI, Dulles and Ft. Lauderdale are all reasonable destinations to add. Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and San Antonio are less so but still within reason. Toronto, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, as I said before, whatever it takes to do it, do it.
I don't have much of a dog in this hunt but as I see it Eppley is a sleeping giant in terms of an economic powerhouse for Omaha. When you consider that not that long ago Omaha had service to 16 airports the level of service now and announced is amazing.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Actually it is only 2 roundtrips per day on weekdays only. It is also either a 7 or 8 seat plane. That is only around 600 seats per month, or about 0.1% of the Eppley traffic. That also assumes all the flights are full too. This is a nice get, just won't affect the overall airport traffic numbers.NovakOmaha wrote:34 would be correct.

Looking, flights seem to be $400 roundtrip for the cheap fares. This is found at onejet.com. Not too bad of a price if you ask me! I flew roundtrip to MKE from DSM on a last minute ticket over the summer and had to connect in Chicago and it was over $1,000. This would have been a welcome option if I lived in Omaha for sure!!

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
More awesome news for OMA!..
From the W-H-
“American Airlines will begin offering a twice-daily nonstop flight between Omaha and Philadelphia International Airport this spring.
The flight will launch May 4. The airline will fly the route with an Embraer E0175 seating 76 people.
American also provides daily nonstop service to Chicago; Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas; Los Angeles; Miami; and Phoenix.
“This announcement marks the third new destination by American from Omaha in two years and is another demonstration of passenger demand fueled by a strong local economy,” said Steve McCoy, manager of airline affairs for the Omaha Airport Authority, which operates Eppley Airfield.”...

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Anyone who's been on this board for six months or longer know that one of my hobbies is complaining about the omaha world herald, the local monopoly fishwrap. Now, I will admit that recently the owh has reported on new non stop flights from Eppley. Or, more accurately it has either been contacted by the airport, reprinted a press release or used posts here to let the unwashed masses know that they can fly to more places without stopping for gas & directions. Good for them. It does seem that lately someone named Paige Yowell has been the reporter of record on new airline service. According to her bio on the owh web site "Paige is a business reporter for The World-Herald. She covers retailing, from local boutiques to Fortune 1000 companies. She also keeps tabs on retail development and trends." I'm not sure where Eppley fits into the retailing, from local boutiques to Fortune 1000 companies, retail development and trends. Perhaps Eppley is a trend? Perhaps one or more of the airlines is a Fortune 1000 company? Anyway, Paige? If you're reading this, and over the years it appears that at the very least an intern at the paper has, maybe do a story about the growth of service at the airport? Maybe another one on construction, now and planned? You could even call the airport authority and ask some questions and us their answers in your story. I could be wrong but I think some people who read the paper might find that interesting.
I just reread my post so far & wow is it snarky.
Anyway Paige. Keep up the good work.

Here's a new toy to play with. Any airport, any airline. Click on the "routes" and then click on the "click here" link to show all departures for a week shown by day. Shows time, type of aircraft. Fun. Interesting.

My amateur pilot friends showed me that a while ago. Very handy when you are sitting in the airport and want to know the real story on when your plane is really going to arrive.NovakOmaha wrote:Here's a new toy to play with. Any airport, any airline.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
There's also an app that shows every single plane in the sky, it's airline, origin, and destination. So if you ever see a plane over head, you can just pull it up and get all of that info.

On Iso it is called Plane Finder.
Some of the smaller planes do not have all the details you listed but for the most part it is all there as stated.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!

Typically they post them on the 20th of each month. On occasion they are late and on rare occasions they are over 2 months late. I would assume that the task of posting them is pretty low on the list.Garrett wrote:Are they a bit late in getting out September numbers?

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Well it's the 27th. If they wait a couple of weeks they can just post Sept & Oct at the same time. It's actually happened before. Either that or they are using a legal pad & a number 2 pencil and counting by writing each person's name and then counting them that way.
On to a totally different subject, check out the Oklahoma City Airport web site. http://www.flyokc.com For what it's worth, check out the airport. Remember, OKC handles about 500k less flyers than OMA. They recently renovated their terminal & it's very nice. It's also planned for expansion. They also just landed a maintenance base for Skywest Airlines. A $30M investment and 100 jobs.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Last night I took a minute and emailed the director of the Omaha Airport Authority. Today I got a nice response from the Manager of Airline Affairs, Steve McCoy, who said they are looking into the matter and hope to have it resolved soon. Yeah, I know. On the surface it sounds boilerplate but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I would assume that it's posted soon.
Took a minute to search for Dave Roth's email address, a minute to compose the email and a minute to read it.
By the way, when I explained EOmahaforums.com in my email I referred to its members as geeks about Omaha. Actually first I described it as a gathering place for fans of all things Omaha, then I referred to all you as geeks. The term probably dates me but that's what I came up with.

September was up 0.5% over last year. Eppley is still up 5.8% YTD.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm going to change my prediction and guess that OMA finishes with about 4.6 million. I'll guess that next year OMA finishes with somewhere around 4.8 to 4.85 million. The caveat is that there isn't a month long hurricane near a city that OMA sends a lot of people to, or there isn't a superstorm in the northeast, or that Omaha builds a streetcar to Chicago, or that, or that, or that...

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
That's what I was trying to get at. Other airports seeing nearly the exact same circumstances as Eppley had entirely justified slower months amid their own very strong growth. Omaha was able to at least stay slightly positive showing a really strong market for flights right now.Garrett wrote:Makes sense given all of the Hurricanes and other weather.iamjacobm wrote:Nominal gain, but still strong when regional airports like KCI, DSM and OKC were all slightly down for the month.Mr.Nuke wrote:September was up 0.5% over last year.

Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
October 2017 numbers are out. Another nice increase for the month over October 2016 of 7.5%. For the year an increase of 6%
All airlines showed good increases except for United, which was down 2.7% for the month while still up for the year 12.7%. Anybody know why the anomaly?
My updated prediction, without any weather or other events, is now over 4.6 million. That's on the conservative side. If trends hold it could be closer to 4.75 million.
If this holds and the announced new service does well OMA could come close to 5 million next year.

If OMA hits the 5 mil threshold for 2018, then talk of terminal expansion becomes a reality...
