@@andyjay729 Not a chance of that happening, Alaska Airlines is more than twice the size of Delta at Seatac, and just over 50% of all passengers fly on Alaska. Delta may call Seatac a hub, but it's not. They have been pushing to almost triple the number of gates they have (from 11 to 30), but the airport doesn't have the capacity Delta wants, especially for international flights. The Customs facility is not equipped to deal with that much international traffic, and they don't want to replicate the "dePort-land-ia" fiasco that their neighbor to the south experienced. Portland used to be a huge international gateway for Delta, but when the Asian economy imploded in the late 1990s, Delta shut down all of the routes through PDX, and now most of the international routes they operate were the ones that they inherited when they absorbed Northwest. They are slowly expanding there, but it's still a shadow of its former self.
@andyjay7294 жыл бұрын
@@UserHorologium Too bad Seatac's customs facility is undersized, because it seems like a much bigger airport than PDX (though I've only been to PDX on one trip this decade; I've flown in and out of Seatac much more, so correct me if I'm wrong). If Delta had brains they'd try to make it their second West Coast hub and take the pressure off LAX. Would you say Seatac has enough gates to be a hub for any major international carrier?

My main airport is CVG, I always fly out of it (Look at my trip reports for verification) Today, my home airport of CVG still hasn't changed. The CVG-CDG flight is still it's only transatlantic one, all of its expansion is going to cargo flights and not commercial ones. I've even started to avoid the CDG flight because Paris is such a pain to connect through, and I normally resort to flying to other hubs (ATL, JFK, DTW). I really hope that this can all turn around soon, it's been years that I've been hoping for it to return to its previous state. I blame this decline to Delta's merge with Northwest, as they screwed everything up with that.
@kyotokid44 жыл бұрын
...similar to what happened to MKE after Delta acquired Northwest. The E concourse, that first served North Central and later Northwest (formerly the B Concourse which was completed in the early 1970s) was not only closed after the merger, but is in the process of being demolished. I remember the original master plan was for a five concourse symmetric terminal (including an international arrival area) with capability of handling widebody aircraft (sadly I can find no illustration online of what the terminal would have looked like, all I can say, it was pretty impressive). Like CVG for Delta, MKE was a secondary hub for Northwest which was served by DC-10s, 757s and even 747s. However since the consolidation MKE is also now primarily served by RJs as well, with the only larger passenger aircraft being 737s, and an occasional MD-82, A320, A321 or 757. The only widebody aircraft that regularly appear there today are bulk package freighters for DHL. FedEx, and UPS and occasionally an AN-124 for handling large machine parts and prefab constructions to overseas customers.

Quite a few 737’s come through MKE with SW only using them and AA removing the Embraer planes with them for Dallas. UA flies a 757 to Ord from MKE. Kind of a big airplane for a extremely short flight. Still a good spoke airport m, though.

@@TheSjuris .I wonder if that United flight continues on to another destination. I remember Northwest in the old days using 707s and 720s on the route but it was usually a continuation of flights to/from Florida. I also thought it odd that Northwest would fly DC-10s between on 45 min flights between just MSP and MKE. I do remember flying on 747s between MKE and JFK as well as DC-8s (both standard and stretch) on United to DEN and SFO/LAX as well as DC-10s. Back in the 50s and early 60s, DC-7s and Boeing Stratocruisers were a common sight on Northwest as were as Connies for Capitol. I really miss Midwest which had a their their primary hub operation there. during the 70s through the 90s, Northwest had a mini hub at MKE as well. Yeah today it's pretty sad when a 737 (which originally were designed as a small town, short/medium haul aircraft) is considered a "big" jet now. So what is American changing to on the Dallas flights, A320s/321s (as the Max is still grounded, and will be into next year)?

@@TheSjuris ...thought I saw on one plane spotter video, A321s for American. Yeah, the -800 is the current "long range" version of the old twinjet which Southwest is also using for their Hawai'i services. I thought Delta pared down service to just their four hubs: MSP, SLC, DTW, and ATL as well as a few other destinations served via their regional operation with RJs. Hopefully with the addition of the A220 to their fleet they well will replace the RJs like American is doing on the Dallas route. I always considered RJ's to be little more than bizjets on steroids without the bizjet amenities (the Bombardier CRJ is actually based off the old Canadair Challenger). LIke CVG the only "big jets" that land there are bulk package freighters for DHL (767F), UPS (DC-10F/MD11F), and FedEx DC-10F, A300F) the KC-135s for the Air Guard Refuelling Wing, and like I mentioned above an occasional AN-124. The A380 and A350 prototypes have made a couple appearances but only for testing or staging for the Oshkosh EAA airshow. About the only other times passenger widebodies show up is if weather or other factors temporarily shut O'Hare down. One possible bright spot on the horizon is what is being done with the unused Concourse E (formerly concourse B) as they are turning it into an international arrivals terminal with hopes of attracting overseas service. Still disappointed in the loss of Midwest which I preferred over the tenant which replaced them, Southwest. A total 180° turnabout with regard to comfort, boarding (never liked SWA's "cattle call" approach) and inflight service. Alaska (my preferred carrier) does have one flight a day from Seattle (which I think is an A320 now) and used to have one out of PDX where I live, but I believe that was cancelled after this past summer.

Low cost flights focused on nearby airports like Dayton. For a while CVG was one of the most expensive airports in the nation. Thanks to Frontier and Allegiant it's back to normal.

Interesting algorithm recommendation. True story - I spent weeks designing traffic for this airport in X-Plane 11. I thought this video got recommended because of that but looking at the other comments I guess not.

Even at the time of this video, nobody knew A380 was going to flop, there would be a huge move to fuel efficient aircraft, and airlines are moving more to the point-to-point model. Going through a hub is often a deal-breaker for me. And sorry, I'm never going to visit Cincinnati unless forced to by work.

more of a connection point nowadays rather than origin international departure point.. or any other origin point of travel for that matter. but I do remember the days not too long ago KMEM used to be one of the busiest with a variety of carriers and flights both international and domestic. ..seems to be a slow death for the hub :(

This also happened to Memphis (NWA Op), Milwaukee (NWA Op), Pittsburgh (USA Hub) and St. Louis (TWA/AA Hub). A result of too many mergers and acquisitions. This is the unfortunate side effect of unchecked crony capitalism and airline deregulation doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. Offer more consumer choice and service. Look how many major legacy carriers this country has lost due to the aforementioned processes, that which in my opinion rapidly accelerated the downfall of mainline service between hub and non-hub city pairs from major airlines now flown by the so called "regional jet" or outright eliminated like CVG. Originally 30-40 seaters 15-20 years ago have now grown to near 100 seat small-big planes (large RJs) as opposed to the large-small planes (shrunken large A/C) of yesteryear. Now the airlines are in this awkward in between of an "RJ" and "mainline". Also mainline airplanes are a 1/3 smaller than their equivalents from a generation ago, and in some cases half smaller covered by 2-3x the flights - but between hubs only. Large airplanes would fly between the hubs and int'l non-stops, freeing up hundreds of 90-150 seat airplanes for each major carrier to fly to minor cities and central regional airports with mainline jet service. Decades ago you'd see nothing but mainline jet service to small US cities and large towns/central regionals where nothing but RJs fly today if at all. The props have been largely retired but the decline of large widebody planes and mainline jet service to just about every sizable US airport in the country before and in the succeeding 20-25 or so years after deregulation in 1978 has been sad to see. 9/11 was also a huge nail in the coffin for mainline jet service to smaller cities and many more mergers and bankruptcies ensued. M&As have also affected and hurt the competition in the aircraft maker market as well and there is less competition and incentive to change the status quo. Eliminating more comfortable widebody airplanes, and continue stretching single aisle airplanes and RJs into oblivion. Sure some ULCCs and LCCs have sprung up as a result of the cannibalizations of M&As and bankruptcies, but those just somewhat filled a void left by something that was there previously. It still pales in comparison to the amount of direct flights many of these mid-size cities used to have.

@scopex27497 жыл бұрын
LightningZap please google this and it will confirm Virgin only own 51% and Delta now own 49% of Virgin COPIED AND PASTED FROM GOOGLE.... The airline along with Virgin Holidays is controlled by a holding company, Virgin Atlantic Limited, which is 51% owned by the Virgin Group and 49% by Delta Air Lines. It is administratively separate from other Virgin-branded airlines.
@TheLightningZap7 жыл бұрын
Keyboard Krazy that's not a merger. And the fact that delta owns most of it is common knowledge. Delta and Virgin Atlantic have different operating certificates and 51% is owned by virgin group which means that virgin group has control over the company. If they merged it would be much more assimilation. Right now delta is just a major investor and partner of virgin Atlantic. virgin group has a controlling stake in the company so delta does not own it.

It's not it was a huge surprise. With DTW sitting so close by with the larger international market & the larger Gateway, I don't know how those that managed CVG didn't see this coming. All of us that are accustomed to booking travel saw this coming long before this happened. Not to mention with the city's poor economic growth, it wasn't really a surprise.
@dvferyance9 жыл бұрын
No it wasn't I knew this would be bad from day one. The real question is why did the feds apporval this awful merger? Both Delta and Northwest were 2 big airlines as it was before this was just going to create an airline too big. It not only hurt the airline industry and it's consumers but the economies of Cincinati and Memphis.
