Thanks for posting that, dave. Cool stuff.

I wish MIA was convenient for me on my frequent trips back down there (so I could see some of the new developments) but PBI is almost always what I use because of where my mom lives. I haven't had to use MIA since making a trip to Amsterdam when I still lived down there. Maybe I'll make a trip over to check it out if I can find the time---I'll be down twice in the next couple of months.

Nice news mileageman, I really hope MIA gets them, that'd be great for the airport's economy and adds more jobs!

Sounds really cool. It'd be nice to see an Eastern Airlines to the huge airline it was before.

List of airports served non-stop from South Florida, including new routes being launched this summer and fall. A very impressive 164 cities have non-stop flights to the Miami area, including some you'd never expect.

Fort Lauderdale, for example, has non-stop flights to three cities in South Carolina - including the only flights between Florida and South Carolina's capital city - Columbia. Fort Lauderdale also has non-stop flights to nine airports in New York state, including tiny little Plattsburgh. Miami's newest European service is to Lisbon, with new flights starting in July to Portugal's capital. Miami's most "unique" destinations: American Airlines offers non-stop flights to Eagle County, Colorado every winter, between December and April, catering to the large number of South Floridians who love to ski. Brazil's TAM offers daily service to Manaus, Brazil, a mid-size industrial city considered "the heart of the Amazon River".

The list is not complete, I took a direct flight to Tri Cities, Tn on Allegiant Air from FLL.

I think a few of these cities Allegiant flies to from Hollywood were missing: Allentown, PA
Chattanooga, TN
Chicago/Rockford, IL
Knoxville, TN
Fort Wayne, IN
Huntington, WV
Tri Cities, TN
Peoria, IL
Huntsville, AL
Plattsburgh, NY
Greenville-Spartanburg, SC

Thanks for the corrections, but the list is complete sans Tri-Cities, as you added. Allentown and the rest are there, but I did not include Ft. Wayne, Rockford, Peoria, and Huntsville, because Allegiant is ending those flights next month (but they are adding Greensboro).

Very informative list, thanks guys.

Remember Eastern Airlines?

http://southflorida.bizjournals.com/...14/story1.html

New airline could have famous name

South Florida Business Journal - by Brian Bandell

Seventeen years after the last Eastern Air Lines flight, the airline is on the verge of a revival. But who will be in the cockpit is up to federal judges.

The lone employee of Eastern Air Lines, which folded in 1991 amid a bankruptcy filing, sold its assets and trademarks to an aviation industry veteran who's geared up to slap the Eastern Air Lines name on his new airline. But a challenge before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Appeal Board has been brought by a Pennsylvania businessman seeking to register the Eastern Air Lines name and logo for a new airline of his own.

Both parties have motions for summary judgment that could help them claim sole rights to the Eastern Air Lines trademarks. The winner could have an open runway for a re-launch of the aviation legend.

Eastern Air Lines was an economic engine in Miami for decades. Besides the nostalgia factor, bringing back the famous name could create a viable airline - possibly based in Miami once again.

Wait...something on schedule and on budget at MIA?

Did I read that right?

More new service on AA.

Starting November 20, 2008, AA will launch the only non-stop service between Miami and Grenada, with one daily flight.

Miami to get China cargo flights
Cathay Pacific plans to add cargo service to Miami from Hong Kong through Anchorage and Houston.

http://www.miamiherald.com/business/story/504616.html



By INA PAIVA CORDLE
Cathay Pacific Airways plans to launch cargo flights to Miami International Airport late this summer, marking the airport's first service to Hong Kong and linking trade between Asia and Latin America.

The Hong Kong-based carrier said it will expand its service to Miami and Houston, with flights three times a week, beginning on Sept. 2.

''Miami is the largest gateway to Central and South America,'' said Stephen Wong, Cathay Pacific's vice president of cargo for North America, who is based in Vancouver. ``So we want to expand our market coverage to Central and South America.''

Subject to final government approval, the airline will depart Hong Kong, fly to Miami via Anchorage, and then on to Houston. The flight will then head back to Hong Kong, through Anchorage. Cathay Pacific will operate the flights with Boeing 747-400F freighters, the largest cargo planes currently available, Wong said.

Miami International has targeted Asia for years, and last July the airport expanded its incentive program to include all-cargo service.

Any carrier offering year-round cargo freighter service from Asia, Africa or Europe, on a cargo route not served by an all-cargo carrier to MIA, now qualifies for a 50 percent abatement of landing fees for a year. The airport charges airlines landing fees of $1.94 per 1,000 pounds, said Miguel Southwell, Miami-Dade Aviation's assistant director of business retention and development.
