...from the Flight Aware feed this morning. I just talked to a captain transitioning from the -88/90 to the 737 so he can finally drive to work at CVG. This will be a good thing for the area: https://airwaysmag.com/airlines/delta-to-revive-cincinnati/

I always liked flying into CVG back in the 1990's when I did work with Proctor & Gamble. It was and is a great airport!

That's good news for me in the Louisville area.
I wish Memphis would come back. After putting in a new tower and a multi-million dollar parking garage, Delta leaves and the place is a ghost town now. I think most of the west B concourse isn't even used anymore.

MEM isn't alone. Been through PIT recently? I remember American started the whole "multiple mini-hub" thing, which ended up being too expensive in the long term, although RDU got a beautiful terminal out of the deal. If the economy keeps on track, all the somewhat by-passed airports should enjoy some growth.
