October 24, 20231 yr How did Breeze Airlines fare at CVG in 2023? By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Oct 24, 2023 Updated Oct 24, 2023 10:04am EDT Leisure carrier Breeze Airways expanded aggressively at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in its first year here, offering five nonstop destinations, with two of them continuing past the peak travel season. Travel to two of the markets thrived, with passengers filling at least eight out of every 10 seats, while two others saw fewer than 7 out of every 10 seats filled. In 2023, Breeze flew to San Francisco; Charleston, S.C.; Providence, R.I.; Orange County, Calif.; and Richmond, Va. The Richmond flight proceeded onto Jacksonville, Fla., so CVG passengers had that option as well. Overall, 73% of Breeze’s 58,291 seats out of CVG were filled in 2023 through July, the latest month data is available from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Domestic U.S. airlines saw 84% of their seats filled in 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. From 2014 to 2019, that number ranged between 84% and 85%. MORE

American is slashing a whopping 21 routes from Austin, Cirum schedules show. This effectively reverses much of the carrier's growth in the Texas capital that was announced during the pandemic. More: The Points Guy TLDR: CVG will lose it's AAL flight to AUS effective January 7, 2024. This was admittedly not a mainline flight as it was an Envoy E175, but still a bummer nonetheless. This schedule change has more to do with Austin than CVG. Virgin Atlantic has also announced it will be cutting the AUS-LHR flight.

November 10, 20231 yr This is more of a contract negotiation issue with AA and mainline pilots. Mainline pilots want more service into AUS and AA is using its regional airlines for the majority of these flights/routes. It is a violation of the ongoing contract.

I will say DL brought the route back and its doing well, and the AA route was doing well too but its being cut because of pilot negotiations more than Austin not being a hot travel spot or the airport is too small.

December 4, 20231 yr American Airlines And United Airlines Want Chicago O'Hare Expansion To Slow Down - Simple Flying According to a report by the Chicago Sun-Times, the two airlines want Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to significantly slow, scale back, or even halt its expensive expansion plans. The main concern is the soaring costs of the project, with the latest phase now $1.5 billion over budget. While the initial project cost was estimated at around $8.7 billion, current estimates now have it at over $12 billion. More here ORD rather unique in that it is one of only a handful of airports in the US which is a designated hub for more than one legacy carrier. AAL has just under 25% market share at ORD with United at over 38% market share. This is a highly unlikely scenario, but AAL could look to draw down some capacity in Chicago, and CVG sits as an underutilized airport nearby. I have no evidence to back this up, but this is an interesting development to watch.

I was going to add BNA, since I can get their 2023 numbers, but I didn't have 2019 at my fingertips. No prob! It’s great to see CVG and CMH/LCK getting back to pre-Covid levels (or close to it) so quickly. Let’s hope the trend continues!
February 6, 20241 yr Number of CVG airport passengers rose again in 2023 The number of passengers flying out of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport increased by nearly 15% in 2023, signaling a continued recovery from the Covid pandemic. Roughly 8.7 million passengers came through the airport last year compared with 7.6 million in 2022. That's compared to the 8 million to 9 million CVG saw before the pandemic, including the 9.1 million passengers it logged in 2019. Much of the reduction can be attributed to the loss of business travel, which is between 75% and 85% of 2019 levels, a level fairly consistent over the past two years.

February 12, 20241 yr Breeze will not fly from CVG to two of its destinations from last year – for now One of Breeze Airways best-performing flights from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport last year will not return at this point but could be reinstituted in the future. Breeze flew from CVG to Orange County, Calif., in 2023, the first time CVG had a direct flight to that market in a decade. The flight performed well, with 83% of its seats to and from CVG being full, according to federal airline data compiled by the Business Courier. But this summer, Breeze instead will fly nonstop to San Diego, another market CVG has not had nonstop service to in years. The last time it was served was 2019.
