June 4, 20241 yr Southwest already has boosted its new CVG-Nashville flight By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Jun 4, 2024 Southwest Airlines has launched its new flight from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to booming Nashville and already increased its frequency. Originally, when announced in April, Southwest only planned to run the service five times per week on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But with the launch Tuesday, June 4, the flight is running seven days per week. CVG has not had nonstop service to Nashville since Delta Air Lines cut its flights in there in 2018. MORE
June 14, 2024Jun 14 CVG airport could see record passenger numbers this summer By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Jun 14, 2024 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has more seats available on flights this summer than at any time in the past decade, underscoring the full recovery the airline industry has made in terms of leisure travel since the pandemic. “Those are the biggest numbers we’ve seen in the last 10 years,” Bobby Spann, the airport’s vice president for air service development, said. “We expect this summer to be gangbusters … based on the capacity that’s coming through the airport.” CVG has 57 nonstop destinations on peak days, the highest it has seen since 2018-19.

June 21, 2024Jun 21 May passenger & cargo numbers are in for CVG: May 2023: 762,541 2024: 858,713 Variance: +12.61% YTD 2023: 3,300,755 2024: 3,625,960 Variance: +9.85% Cargo (Tons) 2023: 838,985 2024: 787,953 Variance: -6.08% May was an excellent month for the airport. It definitely feels like we're starting to see the results of the increase in available seat miles. Cargo continues to lag 2023, but I think that's expected. Macroeconomic factors are likely weighing on the cargo sector. I don't have other major airports' cargo stats at my fingertips, but I would expect this to be reflected across the industry.

July 10, 2024Jul 10 CVG airport approves environmental study for its Hangar Row vision By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Jul 10, 2024 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has awarded a contract to do an environmental assessment of its planned, job-creating Hangar Row development. Hangar Row’s goal is to develop an ecosystem of businesses dedicated to maintaining and upgrading aircraft, a key part of CVG CEO Candace McGraw’s vision of the airport being an economic development engine in addition to a transportation asset. Hangar Row aims to increase the airport’s value to carriers and make CVG a central location for services they need. If it can accomplish that, the airport believes it will attract additional passenger and cargo carriers. Such services could be a tipping point for a passenger airline to add more nonstop destinations or even create a base of operations at CVG, which means more flights and options for regional travelers.

July 22, 2024Jul 22 The Trump/Vance plane was at CVG last weekend, and I assume that it will be there quite a bit until November since Vance is based in Cincinnati. But if they had chosen a smaller plane they could have used Lunken, which is more convenient to Vance's house.
July 22, 2024Jul 22 Dumb question but does he now need a motorcade every time he goes home? Can they NOT take the Brent Spence Bridge and take a helicopter or as you said fly into Lunken or something because that's going to be a huge pain in the ass if we have a secrete service motorcade every week or so for the next 4 months.
July 22, 2024Jul 22 Not only that -- possible fake motorcades. I used to work two blocks from the White House and fake motorcades drove by all the time in order to throw off would-be attackers.
July 22, 2024Jul 22 Trump and Biden have flown into Lunken on a few occasions. I'd imagine it would be easier to fly into there. Lunken has handled the presidential 757 and I personally have flown in and out of Lunken on a 737 charter. Edited July 22, 2024Jul 22 by JaceTheAce41

July 24, 2024Jul 24 CVG airport hits new all-time record for passengers CORRIE SCHAFFELD | CBC By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Jul 24, 2024 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has hit a new all-time passenger record, the first time that’s happened since before the Covid-19 pandemic. In June, 461,555 passengers came through CVG’s front door, the most in any single month since 2019. The year 2019 was an "all-time high” overall for passengers, said Bobby Spann, the airport’s vice president for air service development. That year, 4.3 million passengers flew from CVG. While CVG has lost daily service to some business-focused markets, such as St. Louis and Kansas City, more passengers than ever – 72% – are flying nonstop to their destinations without having to connect through another city. CVG has 57 nonstop destinations on peak days, the highest it has seen since 2018-19. MORE

CVG’s overall average fare fell by more than $28 between 2019 and 2023 when the figures are adjusted for inflation. MORE

August 21, 2024Aug 21 The decrease in air freight is an industry-wide problem this year, not a CVG specific one. From what I understand, the normal routes for supply chains (shipping, railroads, and regular trucking) have rebounded from the COVID craziness. Companies with urgent shipping needs back in 2022/2023 had turned to the much more expensive air cargo method, otherwise they were experiencing massive delays. Now that supply chains have smoothed out, this is just a reversion to the baseline.

September 19, 2024Sep 19 Delta Air Lines Will Cut Flights Between Cincinnati & Denver Next Month Delta Air Lines is planning to cut flights between Cincinnati (CVG) and Denver (DEN) beginning October 30, 2024.

In a statement to Simple Flying, Delta's spokesperson said that they will be reallocating aircraft to expand the Cincinnati (CVG) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) route to twice daily. MORE...
September 22, 2024Sep 22 So they are going to be moving the aircraft to the FLL flight instead of Denver? Probably not that surprising--Denver is one of the places with a lot of options from CVG.
September 23, 2024Sep 23 Yeah, they're reallocating the aircraft and crew capacity. DAL generally flies a 737-800 to DEN & FLL so it'll be similar hard product. Those are also the oldest 737s in the fleet with the legacy F product, which is fine on a tourist heavy route like CVG-FLL, but compares poorly to UAL's mainline routes on either the 737Max or A320 into DEN

While the airport is known for hosting the North American superhubs for both DHL and Amazon.com, it doesn’t draw very much business from smaller general freight shippers and hopes to diversify its business lines and capitalize on its logistics successes.
