TYS seems like an odd choice to me. We are really starting to get a lot of bases concentrated in close proximity out there in the midwest. And I'm wondering if this will be growth or robbing flights the other bases. If its zero-sum, then it's nothing but a restructuring and forcing people to move. If it's growth, then good news for everyone. More info needed.

I agree, I think it’s restructuring. I think these bases are definitely relieving some of the load and inside turns from the FL bases. Complete speculation but I think it’s to enable post transition growth into the Caribbean from the FL bases.

When is Caribbean supposed to start?

Check your email

As this place grows and starts getting 5-6 airplanes a year (and actually gets to 130-150 in 5 years), it makes sense your going to start having a lot more bases.

The reality is you can’t put all of em in Vegas, AZ and FL. I think strong markets that Allegiant has served for a long time and fly to 5-6 destinations (with good pax loads) will ultimately, I feel, have an airplane or two.

I'm no network planner, but Carribean flying should have been started ages ago, WN/F9(which now has a partnership with Y4)/NK already have decent service to the Carribean

I don’t have an email I can find regarding this.

Could be wrong, but I believe it was tongue in cheek. The guy doesn’t even work here.

That is a correct assessment

Caribbean flying has been on the long term plan for quite some time. However, our IT department appears to be incapable of getting the international ticketing working.
