I haven't paid much attention to IAH since it opened, is this normal? Or a February slow time thing? Or is IAH circling the drain? I can't believe we only have 20 daily departures out of there for February.. that's crazy. Meanwhile OO keeps adding flying there. I know Republic has always been a northeast and outstation airline but does anyone know what's going on with Houston?
There are more pairings (170) and more anticipated hard lines (36-37) both year-over-year and from January to February.
It definitely hasn't grown the way I think we'd all hoped it would, but I don't see any reason to be concerned going forward. In fact, 36-37 hard lines anticipated is as many as I think I've seen since it opened.
