Frontier adding CLT-MIA starting 7/5

You clearly do not understand sarcasm. I'm glad you think the team dining area and meeting rooms make this better. Would love to see your math on 2,000 GA seats generating 1.4 mil a year minimum? $120 per ticket? I'm an Alumni and wouldn't pay half of that.

$60 mil for 3,000 GA seats and a few boxes? Nice.

Great news, CLT survived! Sad to see other cities, like MCI, get dropped. Hopefully this new B6 structure does allow for sustainable growth (JFK?)

This is awesome, your posts are always so insightful. A few thoughts: B6 could upgauge with the complete termination of the Spirit merger? Does WN have plans to bring back PHX? AC running (3) E175 flights daily, could YUL be next? DL JFK/LGA all regional, will that change? Still hopeful that UA will expand West (SFO)

Maybe they will be glass at over $1 mil a pop. lol

As a French Canadian, I am extremely about this one. With the recent AC up gauge from YUL, Quebec service out of CLT is growing quite well. Interesting that the route doesn't start until August as June/July are big travel months.

Definitely agree - maybe they try northern routes first. There are FL gaps in Allegiants routes that Avelo could try. PBI, VPS, and RSW all come to mind.

Not surprising, but I feel like this could be a bigger deal in the near future. Allegiant was suppose to build a "base" with (2) 320's stationed at JQF a couple years back. Instead, they have shrunk their Concord ops. If Avelo can figure out solid expansion plans, I could see a 737 being based here with multiple flight adds by EOY.

Has anyone seen these plans before? https://www.rsandh.com/projects/charlotte-douglas-international-airport/ Looks like B,C, and E would be removed. Why would CLT expand B and C to eventually remove completely?

Kind of cool, could Statesville ever land a commercial flight?

Got it, thank you both for your replies on this!

Side topic - AC CRJ-900 parked at D8 this morning, has AC ever parked at D before?

Interesting read on congestion relief ideas. https://www.wfae.org/business/2023-11-30/charlottes-airport-wont-discuss-its-thanksgiving-traffic-meltdown-we-have-thoughts I bet the airport is regretting not adding counters to the new A terminal.

Saw an AC E175 yesterday at CLT, did they permanently upgrade from the CRJ again?
