August 3, 200618 yr Author Luggage overhaul coming Automated system touted as faster, cheaper, safer BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER Officials with Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport are working to implement by fall at least a partially automated baggage system designed to improve the flow of luggage at the site. Richard Christ, chairman of the Kenton County Airport Board, said the airport has recently received a grant of more than $450,000 to help design a permanent system that will cost up to $10 million. The permanent system also should cut down on the number of bag-handling injuries among officers for the Transportation Security Administration. "We hope to have a temporary fix up by late this fall," he said Tuesday as locals greeted U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee, who added an automated in-line baggage system would be a smart investment at the airport and pay for itself in about three years. While airport officials want to process bags faster, they say an automated system would free up security officials to screen passengers.

August 17, 200618 yr Ride to other airports proposed By Joe Wessels Post contributor Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune and Auditor Dusty Rhodes want to give local travelers a first-class trip to an airport - just not Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Portune floated the idea Wednesday of establishing a luxury motor coach service between Hamilton County and airports in Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Lexington and Louisville. All those airports typically have lower fares than Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, where Delta Air Lines' dominance keeps prices relatively high. The service is needed because the "Kenton County Airport Board either lacks the know-how or the ability to introduce sustainable competitive air carrier service," Portune wrote to the Board of Commissioners. He said he would make a formal request to the commission to have county staff investigate the feasibility of such a service, which he said would help entice businesses to open or stay in the county. "Delivering this service will help Hamilton County remain an attractive place for business to grow, especially smaller business," Portune wrote to commissioners. This bus service would be a ground-based way of creating competition for Delta, he said. A few low-cost carriers have started up at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky in recent years, only to leave later when Delta undercut their prices.

August 17, 200618 yr Its just a study and it does seem like a good idea. A private company would run the buses and likely pressure CVG to get Southwest or similar airline. Dayton International Airport has increased its advertising in Cincinnati the last couple of months and always beats Cincinnati as far as prices go. I am flying out of Dayton at the end of the month and it is a great airport.
August 17, 200618 yr Mr. Portune needs some sense thoroughly beat into him, immediately. This proposal of his is a complete waste of time and effort and I honestly cannot believe he thinks a bus taking people to fly from other airports in the region would actually help Cincinnati's economic situation. The service is needed because the "Kenton County Airport Board either lacks the know-how or the ability to introduce sustainable competitive air carrier service," Portune wrote to the Board of Commissioners. I highly doubt either of those two suppositions is the case. Quite frankly, it's the citizens of Cincinnati that have chosen not to patronize the competition that ahs kept low fare service away from CVG. Every time a low fare carrier has introduced service to CVG, Delta has responded within anti-trust laws by matching their fares as well as throwing in perks such as bonus SkyMiles for continuing to choose Delta. Cincinnati travelers voted with their wallets and continued to fly Delta, forcing the competition to literally pack their bags and fly away. "Delivering this service will help Hamilton County remain an attractive place for business to grow, especially smaller business," Portune wrote to commissioners. The service that Delta and Delta Connection provide from CVG far outweigh any cost savings associated with flying from another airport for any type of business. The time savings afforded to businesses in the Tri-State by being able to fly nonstop to over 100 destinations in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe with over 450 flights a day is what keeps companies expanding and locating in Cincinnati. How much such a service would cost is uncertain. But a combination bus/taxi fare to Indianapolis, for example, would be about $85 for the round trip, and a limo service would be $50 an hour, or about $200 for the round trip. When one factors in the potential costs of taking a motor coach to another city's airport, the total cost would likely come pretty close to the fare Delta would charge to fly straight from CVG. Again, for most business travelers, this proposed option is not worthwhile, especially when time is considered to be a much greater factor than cost. Currently, about 120 non-stop flights leave the airport. The five surrounding airports have about 40, he said. It looks like The Post misinterpreted that factoid. There are currently about 120 nonstop destinations offered from CVG, not flights. There are over 400 actual flights leaving and arriving at CVG on a daily basis.
August 17, 200618 yr But one major short-coming of Cincy's airport is that it is accessible only by highways and through the man-made "bottleneck" of a bridge over the Ohio River. That's one reason the Ohio Hub planning process is having difficulty trying to bring rail service to the airport. Even a light rail line between downtown and the airport would be a huge improvement. That lack of easy access may be one reason for Mr. Portune's frustration. (FYI.... Portune also supports the Hub Plan). Also, Kentucky officials have been thoroughly cold to the idea of rail or transit. Their DOT folks sat on their hands during a public meeting in Cincy last year on the Hub Plan..... didn't even bother to ask a question. Klueless in Kentucky?
August 17, 200618 yr TANK runs a bus to the airport But you can also fly Delta out of Columbus for less than CVG
August 18, 200618 yr Cleveland/Pittsburgh had an Anderson bus running between the airports for a while. It didn't work. Of course, the fair was outrageous-- $129 if I recall correctly. I only looked at their schedule/price list once, though.
August 18, 200618 yr Can't they just get the Megabus to do it for $1..;) Maybe even subsidize it..;) Why not? I have heard hotels do it for free all the time(at least to CVG).
August 21, 200618 yr Author CVG will try luring low-cost air carriers Past attempts have failed after Delta lowballed its fares BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER Officials at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, under pressure from passengers because of Delta's dominance, are trying again to woo low-cost airlines to the region. "We'll be going out again next week or after talking to some more low-cost carriers," airport spokesman Ted Bushelman said. Though credited with pumping billions into the local economy, Delta Air Lines' second-largest hub has also long been criticized by travelers as too costly. Bushelman notes the airport has managed to attract several low-cost carriers over the years, but then Delta lowers its fares on competing routes and the new carrier pulls out after a few months. Some low-cost airlines themselves acknowledge there's a disincentive for them to swoop into a dominated hub like CVG - where Delta controls 80 percent of the market share. In announcing its first foray into the Midwest, New York-based JetBlue last month said it would fly routes between Columbus and New York as well as Columbus and Boston.

September 20, 200618 yr Author New building will handle CVG security By Kerry Duke Post staff reporter Passengers checking in for flights at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport's busy Terminal 3 would be screened in a special new hall built solely to handle security under a plan the airport moved ahead on Monday. The Kenton County Airport Board voted to spend $157,600 for schematic design plans for a new building that would house the Transportation Security Administration's checkpoints and be built just south of Terminal 3. Carla M. Fischer, the airport's architectural and computer-assisted design coordinator, told the board the new building would provide enough space for as many as 20 security check-in lines instead of the current nine in Terminal 3. Fischer said the building also would accommodate additional explosive detection trace portals, the high-tech walk-through machines that use a blast of air to check for explosives, as well as future TSA requirements. The security screening hall would be built at the ticketing level of the airport terminal immediately south and over a roadway and tie into the concourse level via an escalator, Fischer said. At this point there is no timetable for the building, which the roughest of estimates anticipate could cost $20 million to $25 million.

September 20, 200618 yr Author Airport shuttle study rejected BY KIMBALL PERRY | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER Upset at high airfares at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, two Hamilton County politicians wanted to see how viable it is to start a luxury shuttle bus service to other airports within 100 miles. But two other Hamilton County politicians rejected spending public money on it Monday, saying that is for the private sector - not government - to decide. The shuttle idea was presented Monday to Hamilton County commissioners by Commissioner Todd Portune and Auditor Dusty Rhodes. Both are Democrats and residents of western Hamilton County, where noise from the airport has caused complaints for years. Portune and Rhodes said they wanted the full board of commissioners to study the idea. That study could then be used by private companies who might be interested in starting such a business.

September 21, 200618 yr Wouldn't bringing a low-cost carrier into CVG give Delta another excuse not to expand their operation in Cincy? Continental has repeatedly complained about the ever expanding low-cost carrier presence at the CLE/CAK airports as a reason as to why they've been reluctant to grow the CLE hub. Or to put it another way, isn't Delta's success in the 'over-charging' of tickets one of the reasons why CVG can have such a diverse route structure for its market size?
September 23, 200618 yr CVG fares often snubbed BY KERRY DUKE | POST STAFF REPORTER Every day, some 1,500 passengers representing more than 18 percent of the tri-state's air travelers drive out-of-town to catch flights, according to a study done for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. That's more than 500,000 passengers a year who abandon Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky in favor of another airport. For most, the reason is simple: The fares found at the five airports within a couple of hours drive are cheaper. "It's not just a few dollars difference, it's hundreds of dollars difference," said Tom Tyra, director of marketing for the Louisville International Airport, which has advertised in this market. The better fares found elsewhere come at a cost to local travelers who bypass Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, a cost measured in time, gas money and inconvenience. But with Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky ranked by the U.S. Department of Transportation as the costliest major airport in the nation to fly out of, that's not dissuaded a half-million travelers a year from heading elsewhere.

November 9, 200618 yr I really don't have any sympathy for these people, they knew they were buying a house near a large airport, deal with the consequences of your decision. New runway, old concern: Noise By Kerry Duke Post staff reporter Patrick Mogavero hears his neighbor to the east the first thing every morning. That's when he said flights start departing from Runway 36L, the new north-south runway at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. "At 7:01 a.m., that's when they are going off," said Mogavero, who lives on Merrie Drive in Hebron, Ky., just west of the new runway and not far from Conner High School. Mogavero would welcome sound insulation in his home, which he noted has been done for some schools. Better yet, he'd like the airport to just buy his house as it has others. But he knows that's unlikely. Although he can easily see the new runway from his home, his residence falls outside the lines under which federal standards require noise mitigation. "I don't expect them to do much for us at this point," said Mogavero, who was among about 50 people who attended a workshop Wednesday at the Florence Government Center on the airport's plans to minimize noise. "I came more out of curiosity." Read full article here: http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061109/NEWS01/611090349
November 10, 200618 yr I really don't have any sympathy for these people, they knew they were buying a house near a large airport, deal with the consequences of your decision. Agree!
November 10, 200618 yr Google Earth has not yet updated its Boone County images to include the new north/south runway and east/west extension. I drew in red the location of the new north/south runway. These plans have been talked about for decades, who are the clowns who built new houses there, and why didn't the aiport buy up this land before they did so? I also took a minute to superimpose the airport in Blue Ash, as you can see here, the land Cincinnati bought back in the 40's was terribly inadequate, especially considering this doesn't include the new north/south runway or extension of the east/west runway. There's no way a Blue Ash Airport, even if they had bought twice the land that they did wouldn't have gotten boxed in. And here is a new Cincinnati-Dayton regional airport up by Trader's World. Obviously a new aiport wouldn't require more than one runway to start with.
November 15, 200618 yr Do you want AirTran at CVG? BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER Low-cost carrier AirTran Airways is asking fliers where it should extend service next - with Cincinnati among a list of possible new destinations. Forty-eight other cities are on the Orlando-based airline's list, including Lexington and Louisville. The airline now provides service out of Dayton and Indianapolis. AirTran officials say this is only the second time they have polled customers about flying into Cincinnati or other cities. The last time was three years ago. A new destination will be chosen by the end of the year. "AirTran is doing this (as) a way of gauging community support," spokeswoman Judy Graham-Weaver said Tuesday. Dominated by Delta Air Lines' second-largest hub, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has been criticized for sky-high fares for years. The average round-trip airfare out of CVG was $536 - the highest nationwide among major airports - during the first quarter of 2006, according to a government report in August.

November 15, 200618 yr Will this survey actually give then anything useful? I hope it does but I would guess the requests of people in cities they already serve would be more useful than in cities where they are thinking about adding service.

Anyway, Delta planes are NASTEE, until this month they only cleaned them every THREE months. ewwww And why is US Air Shitty?

November 16, 200618 yr Prop planes. Everyone has them. In some of those small towns, they don't have the facilities to accomodate regional jets so they have to use prop planes.

Delta is the one hemorrhaging money left right and center especially in that inept executive office. The only thing that works right in the Delta network ...is the shuttle! Delta does not operate 1 prop out of CVG. I flew 76,000 miles last year and have flown 58,000 this year with a trip to Germany within the next month. I have flown all US airlines and Delta is by far the cleanest, nicest planes I have flown on CONUS flights. For international flights, Northwest & Korean Air are my favorite. Again as a business traveler when cost isn't an issue, no one touches Delta in the US. Delta also has the best upgrade program and as a Platinum member, they have automatically given me a free Crown Room membership and I receive free upgrades to first class when the majority of airlines require you to redeem your frequent flyer miles for upgrades. There medallion program is also one of the most reasonable: 25,000 Miles - Silver Medallion 50,000 Miles - Gold Medallion 75,000 Miles - Platinum Medallion US Air is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to major US carriers, everyone in the industry knows that.

November 21, 200618 yr Airport's rental car plans get green light By Kevin Eigelbach Post staff reporter Officials at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport moved ahead Monday with plans to consolidate rental car services into a consolidated rental car facility - ConRAC, as they call it. The Kenton County Airport Board, which manages the airport, awarded a contract worth $40,000 to the John F. Brown Co. to advise the staff during concept development for the project, as well as during negotiations with the rental car companies at the airport. The idea is to eventually build a single building - south of Terminal Three, the Delta terminal - and herd all the rental car companies and cars into that area. The rental car companies would also share a common shuttle bus from the terminal to the ConRAC, instead of using their own buses, as they do now.

November 22, 200618 yr At first, I thought the scale was way off with your maps, but taking a second look, I commend you on the time you spent. The Blue Ash Airport would be land locked and an airport further north would've been built or being built right now. Its hard to imagine how long runways actually are.
November 30, 200618 yr Discount airline passes on CVG By Kerry Duke Post staff reporter The votes have been tallied, the results are in and the decision of the judges is final: Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has lost out again. AirTran Airways, the Orlando-based low-cost airline, has decided against expanding service to the local airport. AirTran had listed Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky on its Web site as one of 48 airports that the airline might serve, and then invited the public to vote on which airport should get the new service. Phoenix won. AirTran announced this week it will begin new non-stop service from its hub in Atlanta to Phoenix Feb. 15. The airline would not release vote totals for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky or say where the airport ranked in the polling. But Judy Graham-Weaver, manager of public relations for the airline, did allow that the airport "fared very well on the survey." "I know there was a really good showing for Cincinnati and quite a lot of interest for the community there in wanting low fares," she said.

January 4, 200718 yr ^^ Sounds like there is some open gate space in CVG. Why? Delta's pulldown of service?
January 5, 200718 yr Not necessarily. Skyteam partners Continental and Northwest moved into seldom-used space in Delta's Concourse A in Terminal 3, thereby leaving USAirways as the sole tenant in Terminal 1. With pleanty of gate space in Terminal 2, used by United and American, it only made sense for USAirways to move there. If I'm not mistaken, I believe T1 is slated to be demolished. Hopefully the same fate awaits T2 also, since it truly is not much better than T1. I'd like to see the Kenton County Port Authority construct a build-out on the A Concourse in T3 and just relocate everyone there; it would make things much more convenient for everyone.
January 5, 200718 yr I'm guessing this will be dropping the airport to under 20 million passengers a year also.
January 6, 200718 yr I wonder how this has effected the businesses inside that relied on those heavy amounts of traffic.
January 7, 200718 yr Atlanta and Chicago have run neck-and-neck in recent years to claim the title of the nation's - and, therefore, the world's - busiest airport. Ok, this may be true, but did anyone else think it was written funny? The sentence just struck me as kind of weird, as if airports don't exist outside the U.S.
January 7, 200718 yr It was written by an Enquirer journalist... I seriously wonder what kinds of people they hire at the Enquirer. One of my friends is in journalism and if he even misspells ONE WORD on his articles, he gets an F for the assignment. That sentence would would definitely result in an F.
January 7, 200718 yr I'm guessing this willl be dropping to the airport to under 20 million passengers a year also. CVG puts out stats...I think it's between 16-17 million pax moved now.

January 8, 200718 yr >One of my friends is in journalism and if he even misspells ONE WORD on his articles, he gets an F for the assignment. That sentence would would definitely result in an F. This is probably the result of a copy editor's blunder, not the writer's. There is also the matter of designers, who sometimes take matters into their own hands, although the problem has been reduced with new programs like InDesign that allow text updated by copy editors to change and format automatically on a designer's screen as the new version of the article is saved.
January 18, 200718 yr Should be interesting to see how the entire Delta issue turns out. Lets just hope we don't see major job loses in the near future.

March 20, 200718 yr Low-cost carriers not interested in CVG BY KERRY DUKE | March 20, 2007 The numbers in the wake of Delta Air Lines cutbacks at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport might figure to add up to an opportunity for a low-cost airline to squeeze in. Compared to 2005, in 2006 the airport had 66,000 fewer departing flights and nearly six million fewer departing seats, due in large measure to Delta's decision to reduce service that it and its Comair subsidiary provided the complex by nearly 30 percent. Still, no low-cost carriers have stepped forward despite what airport officials say has been aggressive marketing to get that message out. John A. Yeager, board member and chairman of the air service committee, briefed fellow members of the Kenton County Airport Board on Monday about recent efforts at a trade show to woo low-cost carriers. Despite plenty of excess capacity at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, Yeager said AirTran, JetBlue, Southwest and Spirit expressed concerns about initiating service at the Hebron airport and taking on Delta, even in a weakened state, in its second largest hub. "They feel that Delta is an aggressive competitor who will act accordingly if a low-fare carrier enters the market," Yeager told the board. Yeager said a new study is being conducted that will detail how many passengers from the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area are bypassing Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky and heading instead to other airports in the region where fares are cheaper. He said he hoped that report would help persuade low-cost carriers to consider Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky.

May 15, 200718 yr So. Skyways pulls back CVG plans BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE | May 14, 2007 Discount carrier Southern Skyways has pulled the plug on its plans to launch low-cost flights to Charleston, W.Va., and Myrtle Beach, S.C., from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Cary Evans, executive vice president of the airline’s parent company, Aviation Advantage, said lackluster bookings were to blame. Initially the service was to start in March, but the service was delayed until late this month. “The response was disappointing,” Evans said Monday. The airline has begun making refunds. Officials at CVG, which is dominated by Delta Air Lines, have tried to lure other low-cost carriers besides USA3000 but found it difficult to lure them to compete against the Atlanta airline. USA3000 offers regular scheduled flights to Fort Myers, Fla., and Cancun, Mexico, as well as seasonal service to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
