So additional gate space and a lounge are all in negations currently with BCAD. From what I understand BCAD likes blue’s expansion plans and the agreement will be finalized soon.
The point of “squatting” comment is that B6 is adding capacity in FLL outsize of what it can operate with its current lease portfolio.
By adding capacity that requires it to use NK gates is “squatting”. Sure they could come to agreement to lease those gates, but no agreement exists right now.
I sure hope they get it resolved sooner rather than later.
