February 4, 20214 yr 7 minutes ago, Brutus_buckeye said: When did they start calling it KCVG? It's always been called KCVG. CVG is the IATA code for the airport. KCVG is the ICAO code. The former is used by airlines and, usually, by the general public. The later is used in most aeronautical spheres. Considering the article came from a GA (General Aviation) publication, that's likely why the ICAO code was used.
February 4, 20214 yr On 2/1/2021 at 7:50 PM, jmecklenborg said: The piers that used to connect CUT with the Southern RR bridge are still there but to access them from the existing Amtrak platform any train would have to cross over the approach to *both* bridges, which would be a chronic scheduling nightmare. I have ridden the TGV train in France and it has a station at Charles deGaul Airport. I don't think it's realistic to do something like this in Cincinnati where intercity passenger trains would travel out of CUT, cross the river, and then have a station on CVG's property. In Paris the train platforms are directly underneath the terminal, which obviously makes the whole thing amazingly convenient. I have never heard anyone propose high quality (let alone high speed) rail to Lexington, which is 80 miles south of CVG, or to Louisville, which is 96 miles.

March 15, 20214 yr CVG kickstarts next phase of $69M project Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky's most-used runway is getting rehabilitated starting Monday, a six-month project that will move air traffic to other runways. CVG's 9/27 runway is the airport's longest runway and runs east/west. The runway is often used at night, when global shipping giant DHL is at the height of its operations. CVG has four runways. The project will bring new asphalt, concrete and lighting updates. CVG started the project in the fall of 2020 but the runway's closure did not start until Monday. It is expected to reopen in October.

June 8, 20214 yr CVG’s only trans-Atlantic flight to return Delta Air Lines’ flight from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to Paris is tentatively scheduled to return starting Sept. 8, airport officials said, which is certain to be a relief for the region’s business community, which wanted more trans-Atlantic flights before the pandemic. It’s a key market for the region because it allows companies to get to Europe on a nonstop flight. “Direct trans-Atlantic service is critical for leisure and business travelers for quick and efficient connectivity of our region to the rest of the world,” said CVG CEO Candace McGraw. “CVG is currently the only airport in Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana with planned nonstop trans-Atlantic service in 2021. We look forward to welcoming back travelers on their way to Europe and beyond as global travel returns. I look forward to being able to be on the Paris flight myself.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2021/06/07/cvg-s-only-trans-atlantic-flight-to-return.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

This may well be true, but there's something to be said for reducing whatever flights you can. If I have the choice between a two hour drive to take a direct flight to Paris vs. going and making a connection through JFK or ATL, I will always choose the former. Nothing worse than a connection/layover in a big crowded airport. I think that traditionally the CVG-Paris flight has had the ideal departure time for a trip to Europe. Evening flight, flying overnight, arrive in the morning. Sleep on the plane and then power through the jetlag by staying awake as long as you can when you get there.
