March 31, 20223 yr Company plans $40 million expansion, adds 250 jobs at CVG By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Mar 31, 2022 A Miami-based aircraft maintenance company is building a second hangar at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, making a $40 million capital investment and creating 250 new jobs. FEAM Aero opened its first 103,000 square foot hangar at CVG at the beginning of 2020 and it already has grown from 200 to 283 employees, according to airport documents. Like its first hanger, the second will serve CVG’s burgeoning cargo business, as well as some passenger aircraft. “This is really a continuation of our expanding in the air cargo market. It also really increases our capacity to do more work,” said Cam Murphy, the president of FEAM Aero, adding the expansion will allow the company to boost its services as cargo businesses grow at CVG.

The concourse has 28 gates, with a few occupied by American Airlines. The facility was constructed in the early 1990s and needs repair and refurbishment. The $30 million figure is an estimate, not a final cost. The project will include replacing 28 passenger boarding bridges that were installed in 1993.

May 25, 20223 yr Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has best month since pandemic started By one measure, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in April had its best month since the pandemic started. The passenger volume in April was at 84% of what it was in the same month in 2019, the best percentage the airport has posted in such a comparison since March 2020 when airports and airlines were sent into a tailspin by the Covid-19 pandemic. The recovery continues to be powered by leisure travel, which has almost completely returned to pre-pandemic levels. That’s borne out by CVG’s two ultra-low cost carriers, Frontier and Allegiant Airlines. Allegiant’s number of enplaned passengers was at 99% of 2019 levels in April, while Frontier’s was at nearly 130%. Both airlines offer a low base price, with fees for everything from a seat assignment to beverages to overhead baggage.

Nationwide, Delta has cut 7,600 flights from its July and August schedules to “strategically … build additional resilience in our system and improve operational reliability,” the company said. At CVG, the airline will cut 31 flights and 4,256 seats in July and August, according to data provided to the Business Journals by Cirium Inc. That’s about 1.2% of its flights and 1.4% seats for July and August.

August 18, 20222 yr American Airlines’ CVG push: ‘We will be a force to reckon with’ By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Aug 18, 2022 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is a bit of a rarity when it comes to American Airlines’ network — it’s not a hub, connecting passengers to destinations across the world, but it’s also not simply another dot on American’s map. With the addition of Raleigh-Durham, Dallas-based American now provides nonstop service to three non-hub cities, including Austin and Boston, for a total of 12 airports. American, the world’s largest airline, has added the additional destinations because CVG passengers were connecting to those cities enough via American’s hubs that it justified establishing standalone nonstop flights, and it plans to continue looking for more such opportunities.

BA is looking for the largest handout from NA cities to start flights. PIT ponied up cash, i just doubt CVG and the region are going to do the same. Unless American continues to build up flights and additional destinations it could be beneficial. I consider LHR out of the question for the time being.
August 23, 20222 yr I've found it interesting that for a number of places I've wanted to travel recently, Delta doesn't have direct flights but some of the other airlines do. Delta may be the biggest carrier at CVG and I also want to stick with them for status reasons, but it's a pain to transfer through ATL, MSP, or SLC when some of the other carriers have direct options.

September 25, 20222 yr Delta Air Lines Tests Dual Jetbridge Boarding In Cincinnati Delta Air Lines is trying out a new way to save time during the boarding of its aircraft. The carrier is testing an approach using two gates for the boarding process of its Boeing 737 aircraft to see if this has any long-term potential. According to a report by View From The Wing, Delta is currently trying out the new method at Cincinnati Airport (CVG) as it is a much smaller station for Delta than the hub it used to be. This means that the airport has an extra gate to accommodate the procedure.

September 29, 20222 yr 3 hours ago, Ucgrad2015 said: Saw that Cleveland is getting a Dublin route. What route do you think we will see next at CVG? I’d love to see a Dublin route or even Berlin route. Cleveland is paying a large sum of undisclosed money for three years of service from Aer Lingus to Dublin. CVG and the region doesn't pay Delta for the Paris route. If we want another European route, we will have to pay large incentives like Cleveland, and you better believe Delta will want money in their hand too. CVG got lucky a couple years ago with WOW that the region only covered marketing and advertising for the route and nothing else. British Airways is always looking for handouts I.E. Pittsburgh... With the larger American presence now at CVG, British makes the most sense on connectivity for One World, I just don't see it happening without money ponied up.
September 29, 20222 yr 3 hours ago, 646empire said: I would definitely take Berlin over Dublin. Berlin is unique, because its the other major city airport in Germany without a hub presence of any airline. Lufthansa has hubs in Frankfort and Munich, but not Berlin. Unless Condor provides the flight its seems like a very niche route that would struggle with usage between CVG and BER.

Airline veteran and entrepreneur David Neeleman, who founded JetBlue, launched leisure carrier Breeze in 2021, hoping to capitalize on mid-sized cities lacking point-to-point flights to each other. It's Neeleman’s fifth airline. “I think Cincinnati’s a place that needs all the air service it can get,” Neeleman told the Business Courier. "There’s a (Department of Transportation) database that shows us how many people are traveling from San Francisco to Cincinnati. There’s a good number of them. We know there’s a community of interest.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2022/10/19/breeze-airways-coming-to-cvg.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

American brings in BOS, AUS, and RDU. Delta only counters with bringing back AUS. Breeze arrives with SFO, will Delta finally bring it back? Doubt it. The numbers for ORD and DFW on Delta are so high on avg that both cities should have been brought back and they havent. Delta is more worried about the NE corridor than legacy stations with large loyalty numbers.

October 20, 20222 yr Delta cut the route at the beginning of the pandemic and still hasn't brought it back. I've been flying out of CVG to the Bay Area once a month for work since summer 2021 and I would love if the direct flight was restored. Been a pain in the butt spending over 8 hours travelling + a required layover to travel between the 2 cities. Can't believe Delta or United won't fly the route, especially since SFO is a United hub. Unfortunately Breeze flying twice a week doesn't help me at all, especially with the odd choice to offer the flights only Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The teaching jobs will pay about $50,000 per year. MORE
