Another perk(?): private airshow

Occasional announcement: “Thanks for flying at the airport that’s really easy to fly through. Newport News airport, it’s eeeasy going.”

It’s a beautiful, clean airport, on a sad trajectory. Someone just offered me a free cup of coffee.

I’m on one of just three departing flights (all American erj145s to CLT). 150 passengers total. It must be busier on the weekend, but are they on track for <100k this year?

3/4

AirTran left after merging with Southwest in 2012. Allegiant also left in 2012, Frontier in 2015, Delta in 2020. A start up airline failed twice (Elite and People Express) and Avelo only lasted 6 months.
