hehe...AKR seems to small of a city

how long is the runway in CLE btw?

[piercey]

longest is 2744

Don't underestimate Akron, one of the fastest growing cities, airport, and college in US.

[Atlantic_Air]

true...but still doesn't strike me as a possible hub city

2744....i hope that means meters

[piercey]

yup on the meters part.

Heh, I say AKR is one of the fastest growing cities, you say *enter small well known city in Texas here* is one of the fastest growing cities/airpotrs and that CO or AA should move away from IAH and DFW respectfully. Just an area of the country you know better

lol yeah right, like corpus is fast growing at all

and BTW -
Jet Link (CO express) is opening a maintenance facility in CRP

i'm just happy we got service to mexico

[piercey]

Heh, 2 yrs ago AKR only had ATA and AirTran, now look at them. Great airport for spotting, though

[Atlantic_Air]

yeah, that is amazing

CO or BTA doesnt fly into AKR do they?

wht other airlines fly in there now

[piercey]

Current airlines:

Airtran
Delta
Frontier
Northwest
United
US Airways

ATA dropped AKR last year

[Atlantic_Air]

that's not bad...amazing that Frontier flys there...wish JetBlue or something would come into Corpus..right now in Corpus there is:

- Aeromar (NEW SERVICE TO MONTEREY AND REYNOSA!!! ) ATR
- American Eagle (7-10x Daily to Dallas Ft. Worth) ER4
- Continental Express (8-10x Daily to Houston IAH) ERJ
- Delta Connection (3x Daily to Atlanta; DFW service cut:() CRJ
- Southwest (5x - 6x Daily to Houston Hobby) 737
About Southwest: Corpus is the city in Southwest's network that only has one destination >.<
If the wright amendmant gets lifted, then Southwest might start to Dallas Love direct...but for now, there's a stop in HOU.
