Very interesting, I did not know that. I guess 2 runways is enough. You learn something new every day. I was looking at OKC and SA's airports both of which have 3 and wondered why we didn't
Interesting about the connections from passengers coming in on BA especially considering both Houston and DFW are connecting hubs. Why would people be connecting through Austin?
And I had to bring this up but why In the world is Aeromar still flying here? I mean seriously their numbers are literally droping each month. 641 in May down to
523 in June. How much lower can they go before they decide it's just not worth it? It's obviously not performing well at all. Earlier this year it was in the 2,000 range and even then I mentioned how large of a gap there was between them and the next lowest airline. I did not expect them to plummet this far down.
