[The Voice of Reason]

the HBJ print edition had all the numbers for the main airlines and routes a few weeks ago.  I found it..

 

almost used it to start a fire

 

Our busiest airlines Aug 2012-July 2013

 

Southwest       27.7%

Delta         15.38%
US Air     10.2%

Jet Blue      10.2%

American      6.9%

 

no numbers for United.  but there is a note that says all other airlines account for 29.6%  of traffic

 

 

then it lists our top destination airpoorts

 

ATL

CLT

MCO

ORD

That list missed quite a few....

 

Also, it seems that many large airports are gaining more carriers now. Maybe once this expansion into our larger hubs is finished the effect will trickle into our countries medium airports....i.e. BDL!

 

Seattle - Emirates

Miami - Qatar Airways, Jetairfly

Dallas - Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad

Las Vegas - Edelweiss Air

Houston - Turkish Airlines, Air China, Qatar Airways, Emirates

 

There are more....these are just a few.

I pasted it from the BDL web site.   it may have been cut off.

Pretty stark and telling stats about how midsize airports are getting the scroogie....

Not really, if you realize BDL is finally out of the hands of the CDOT. That should make a huge difference. That should give us all hope.

[The Voice of Reason]

there is no denying the loss of traffic from 2005

 

there should be a decent jump however back closer to those numbers.

 

those were from mid summer I think and in the late fall we added a few new flights.   like LA, and some florida flights. 

 

those new flights should add a decent uptick for early 2014

[The Voice of Reason]

Jet Blue is adding two flights per day from BDL to Washington DC

 

http://www.courant.com/business/hc-jet-blue-bradley-0307-20140306,0,5366975.story

 

if you look at the Jet Blue route map, Hartford is looking more and more like some kind of mini-hub

 

With the additions, JetBlue will have nine daily departures from Bradley to seven locations

Washington DC

Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood,

Fort Myers,

Orlando,

Tampa,

West Palm Beach

San Juan, Puerto Rico.

 

I am excited to see a non Florida location. and a non warm weather location.

 

It would awesome of BDL could add some more westerly destinations.

Edited March 6, 2014 by The Voice of Reason

[The Voice of Reason]

Also, it appears as though Delta is adding a Cleveland flight.

 

is that new?

 

BDL-CLE departs at 7:00

CLE-BDL departs at 18:50

 

[beerbeer]

US Air already flies to Bradley out of Reagan, six non-stops a day.

 

United flies to Bradley out of Dulles three non-stops a day.

 

Jet Blue going to Reagan should bring down prices.

The overall count of passengers getting on and off planes at Bradley was 5,421,875 in 2013, compared to 5,381,860 in 2012.

40,000 people

 

A good sign I suppose.

 

1% aint much but it seems the last few months have been very good and continue to look that way.  especially with the new DC flight and the Cleveland flight

 

 

Counts increased

1 percent in September

4 percent in October

3 percent in November

20 percent in December

9 percent in January

 

 

[uconn99]

Bradley traffic is up the begining of this year. I get the monthly traffic reports directly from the airport.

 

 

Total Passengers-

 

January 2013- 385,256

January 2014- 421,045

 

9.3% increase

 

February 2013- 369,386

February 2014- 404,155

 

9.4% increase

So, I guess thats good.

Good forum on new potential flights from BDL:

 

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/6042970/

[The Voice of Reason]

gotta admit I have been occasionally lurking there for a few years now.

 

Thats where I found out about one of the additional flights I posted up above... think it was Delta to Cleveland

[Theophrastus Bombastus]

bye bye terminal 'b' - what is the timeframe?

 

 

[Luca Brasi]

That could easily be one of the worst terminals at any major airport in the US. Look at that men's room..! I mentioned before that I picked up an out of town associate from the airport and as we drove by the abandoned terminal, he commented on how it looked like the Soviet Union.

Edited April 17, 2014 by Luca Brasi

[The Voice of Reason]

It really is bad, and when you drive past its worse than when you are insiide it.

 

also all airport traffic has to drive past it. 

 

It will be nice when its torn down

addition by subtraction

[Theophrastus Bombastus]

Heres more.

 

 

[The Voice of Reason]

Nice pickup

Its a dinky plane, but service to Houston is important for an airport like BDL.

 

and and all flights west of the mississippi should be celebrated as they give us a much better shop of getting and supporting a trans atlantic flight.

[CTnative4444]

Quick question

 

How is it that Providence is close to snagging not one but TWO international flights to europe, but Hartford doesn't seem to even have it in their cards....

 

The addition of Houston is a great link, but how come the ball is rolling so well for Providence and not for us?

Well, PVD markets itself as a 2nd Boston area airport. I'd guess that is the major factor that would put them in better position than BDL.
