Daily SWF Report 2

[ahazzard1289]

I hear rumors that JetBlue will announce SWF-LAS service in two weeks.

Dear Jetblue airways fan,
I am not supposed to say anything but Vegas we will get along with another destination served by Jetblue. and it is a good one. And it isnt Florida. I now work at the airport and have loads of cool new info. Like 2 new carriers that may be in the near future starting up. These rumors started because I told one person and that person spread it. Hope you like the news.

Curious to hear what that other destination is. If it's San Juan I'll definitely by extremely pleased!

Just remembered this as I was about to go to sleep.

Today I was outside playing tennis and looked up when I heard a low turboprop and could only assume it was on its way to SWF judging by its low altitude. The aircraft looked like and sounded like a C-130 but only had 2 engines. Was too big to be a Saab-340.

Any ideas on what it might have been?

Maybe a C-27?

Found your answer... N981BW a CN-295 Casa Persuader owned by Blackwater Security departed to Eliazabeth City, NC today

Thanks for finding that, Bill. Definitely looks like the aircraft I saw.

Wish I could have gotten a pic!

Any chance of Delta putting mainline service into SWF?

[Iberia A340-600]

Both Delta Connection and AirTran seem to be doing well with flights to ATL. Presumably due to connections onward from the focus city.

I think Delta is better off sending a couple of CRJ-200s throughout the day rather then sending 1 or 2 737-800 or similar sized aircraft. With the amount of connection traffic it makes more sense to have more flights with smaller capacity spread throughout the day to eliminate and help connection times in ATL.

I only say this because CRJ's are less efficient than the larger jets. If DL had three MD-88s rather than four CRJ's it might make more sense with rising fuel costs.

There's a USA Jet DC-9 inbound from YIP and then outbound to OPF.

An EOS 757-200 from STN touched down about 10 minutes ago. The flight was E07.

TwinJet A319 is inbound tonight

And the second JetBlue destination could be San Juan PR as its listed on the website as one of the 4 destinations from SWF. It may just be listed as a connecting flight through Orlando at present as Cancun and San Juan is from HPN but it does not show other connections like Orlando to Austin as a possible flight from HPN so assume these will be direct soon?

I saw a private 727-200 depart from SWF today around 1:50pm and I'm pretty sure it was N31TR, which would make sense considering it is based at SWF. I've actually only seen it at the hangar at the airport and have never seen a flight plan for it on flightaware.

A Jet Blue E-190 has been operating one of the flights to MCO today. Arrived and departed and is now on its way back again.
