Delta To End Bradley-LA Flight
By ERIC GERSHON
1:16 PM EDT, July 26, 2010
WINDSOR LOCKS —
Delta Air Lines today confirmed that it will cease direct, non-stop air service between Connecticut and Los Angeles as of Sept. 30 — the second time it has done so in two years. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said the airline decided to cut the route because anticipated passenger demand is not as strong in the months ahead. Delta resumed flying the Bradley-LAX route last June. It had cut a previous flight on the route on Sept. 30, 2008. Delta will offer connecting service to Los Angeles through Detroit and Minneapolis, Black said. That means passengers will need to swtich planes. Black said the airline would decide in November whether to try the route again next year.

JetBlue has officially begun service out of Bradley. Definitely a great thing for the region. Hopefully Bradley can continue to add flights and carriers. It would be nice to have AirTran come back as well and obviously I want to see non stop LA and trans-atlantic service resumed.
Hartford Business Journal
Low-cost air carrier JetBlue Airways landed its inaugural flight into Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks today, starting twice daily service between Connecticut and Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
The JetBlue flights are the latest additions to a new list of flights that were added out of Bradley this year including Frontier Airlines flying to Milwaukee and Delta Air Lines adding service to Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, although the Los Angeles flight was discontinued in September.

Hopefully JetBlue within 2 years will be the largest carrier at Bradley as they are about to become in Boston, as this will result in atleast a total 25% passnger increase for the airport imho

This can't happen soon enough. Hopefully this will help make Bradley more competitive in a wide range of areas.
Hartford Business Journal
The question is no longer whether an independent Bradley Airport Authority will be established, it’s just a matter of how it is established, said State Sen. Gary LeBeau, D-East Hartford, chairman of the Commerce Committee. Some issues still need to be debated — such as whether the authority would have jurisdiction over the state’s seaports — and whether the changes will be incremental or all at once.
“You could do it in one big bite, which is much harder to swallow,” LeBeau said.
The issue will gain serious traction in the next legislative session starting in January, and chances of it passing are very good, said State Sen. John Kissel, R-Enfield. With the governor behind the issue — Malloy proposed a Bradley Airport Authority during his campaign — and the fact that the change can be made with no immediate funding increases, the issue should have broad support in the session.
“It is the second largest airport in New England, but outside of the immediate area, not a lot of people know about it,” Kissel said. “I’m not sure we are maximizing the full potential.”

This guy gets it! Q&A talks with Michael Gallis of Gallis & Associates who will be speaking next week at the Connecticut Venture Group’s Crossroads of Ideas and Capital: Vision 2015 in Healthcare, Digital Media and Energy event June 22 at the Yale Law School in New Haven.
Q: You’ve also done some work for Charlotte Douglas, San Diego and San Antonio International Airports. Connecticut has long sought to be a true international airport. What would your recommendation be to get us back on track after losing our direct flight to Amsterdam a few years ago?
A: Air service is a direct response to market conditions. There are two international airports near Connecticut — JFK and Boston Logan. JFK is by far the largest and most important, and a short distance away from the state. I should add that I don’t think that we need to always think of only the resources we have within the state, as it is a small state, and resources just across our border can be equally accessible. The problem for air service is that those two airports are in heavily congested areas that can be a real barrier to travelers from Connecticut and while they can provide the service we need, getting there is the problem. This is a perfect example of the growing isolation. The airport is near in miles but far due to congestion and the lack of reliable surface transportation. This is a central issue for the economic future of the state as in the world today there are what we call one-stop cities and two- or three-stop cities defined by how many flight segments that are needed to arrive at you destination. Cities like New York, Los Angles, London, Paris, Tokyo or Beijing and Shanghai are one-stop cities. Connecticut is on the edge between being a one- and two-stop location. The closer it come to being a two-stop destination, the further it gets from the mainstream of global economic growth.

Those are very good points, but I think on that note, I think we should push to be better connected to Logan and JFK in that case. Wouldn't it be great if we had a metro-north train that ran to a terminus at JFK? Even an express bus service would be welcomed. Apart from driving and parking at these locations, there are not many options for arriving at the airports.

The airport commission now exixts. its official they met for the first time.
Amongst their goals is to increase flight options including a transatlantic flight again.
We shall see as business travel is up so it might be sustainable now. gas prices are still high, so thats a good thing in a way because airlines know what they are getting into. If we can establish a flight for a year or more it will last IMO, international flights take a while to catch on and it takes a while for airlines to shuffel the connecting domestic flights acordingly.
we will see how this pands out, but at least this authority is not the DOT/DMV, its a little more air centric, so I am glad.

Getting Bradley out of the hands of the DOT will pay dividends for decades.
Getting a European route should have been a priority for the last 50 years. Great that the commission realizes that.
