April 26, 20232 yr 15 hours ago, ColDayMan said: Braxton Brewing Co. opens doors at CVG; here's a peek at the food menu A second local craft brewery has opened its doors at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Covington-based Braxton Brewing Co. officially opened April 24 at the airport after a soft opening over the weekend. Braxton opened a 1,500-square-foot taproom inside Concourse A, from which most of the airport’s non-Delta Air Lines flight originate. Braxton’s CVG location features a menu adapted from its Fort Mitchell Taco Fuerte food truck, said Braxton CEO Jake Rouse. More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2023/04/24/braxton-brwery-opens-cvg.html Glad to see we are getting more "local" vendors in the airport. I really wish CVG would ramp it into high gear on renovations and new vendors. B is getting embarrassing, its busy with Delta, American, and Breeze. If i didnt have my skyclub membership id bitch about options in the morning for travelers. Tuesday morning, starbucks was closed, Brueggers was closed as well as Gold Star which typically serve breakfast/coffee. Chick Fila was the only one open and had about 80 plus people in line. Max and Ermas space was supposed to be Frischs i would say thats dead in the water. McDonalds closed, and Wendys made their annoucement but there has been zero movement in the food court. A local coffee place could operate a small kiosk cart in the mornings and make a killing.

You would figure they would want to at least brag about saving some of those jobs. Its well known around the cooler that Ed and the board are not big on legacy Delta people or staff, being legacy NW brass. They have begrudgingly given into the demand of the Cincinnati market but are reluctant to bring back many more flights or cities to the airport. Where the airport stands right now we are at focus city status for Delta again since there are still a number of connections that happen each day for Delta. @savadams13 - Figured this was more appropriate in the CVG thread. So - If Delta quietly backtracked on closing the pilot base and FA base and may be slowly growing it, as you say, do you see more flights coming out of CVG as a focus city or do you essentially see American coming in to fill the void? With the new BA flight to London and their affiliation with American, you would think American could start to develop CVG as a focus city too? I personally see it as a good strategic fit for them. Their midwest hub is Chicago but they compete with United there and are really second fiddle behind United out of Chicago. O'Hare is much more congested, more expensive for the carriers to operate and is subject to many more weather delays. You would think it would be strategically beneficial to move a chunk of those flights to CVG or another airport in an easier climate in the midwest and get the same type of connections but with less delays and schedule interruptions due to weather and congestion.

The biggest issue is until they have more FAs and pilots CDG will remain at 3x a week since they dont have enough crew to safely operate the flight without bringing staff into Cincinnati from other bases. San Francisco has yet to be brought back and they are struggling for crew to increase mainline flights on pre-existing mainline routes.

You almost figure that the pilot shortage would be remedied here quicker given the amount of freight pilots that are based here. I know they fly different plane, but a 767 DHL or Amazon plane is not really any different than the Delta version.

Honestly, they should scale back Chicago and push CVG as an small alternate hub. There is so much that can be done there that would help AA traffic. 1) CVG is much less congested leading to fewer delays. 2) CVG is in a more moderate climate which will also lead to less disruption in the AA system 3) CVG has the runway capacity to allow AA to flex however needed. 4) ORD has United as a primary carrier so why go head to head directly with them. 5) AA will always play second fiddle to United in Chicago. 6) CVG is much cheaper to operate out of than Chicago and has cheaper landing fees. AA does not have to pull out of Chicago entirely, but CVG offers a great opportunity for them to compete and be successful as a primary carrier or even establish a hub imo

I have not flown through there in a while but CLE, DET, Minneapolis are also not the best for weather no matter the time of year.

I do not know what you compare it too and they did not list any other metrics to show a comparison for what the flight could/should look like. As someone who knows little about this (so take it with a grain of salt), I would imagine anywhere between 85-90% as the sweet spot that a carrier would want to target. Below 80% may be issue for concern and above 90% means the rates are too low or they need to expand service would be my guess. So my best guess is that the flight is meeting its targets and is profitable right now given the investment.
