After observing AirTran's recent expansion into other small to medium sized markets such as ACY, TYS, AVL, and BKG/BBG (Branson), is it possible to see AirTran restart service into Daytona Beach from ATL with twice daily service?
My thoughts (and I feel they are valid):
Delta is reducing capacity in Daytona Beach (with the exception of now during Spring Break) to mostly CR7s to ATL. Two M80s will serve DAB daily come mid-April and I believe 4 CR7s will complement the M80s.
When AirTran previously flew to Daytona, passenger traffic at the airport hit an all time high, so we know people were using the service, because when they left, passenger traffic went down the toilet (and still is).
The only thing I would say to AirTran for DAB success is schedule your flights at good times. If they do that, AirTran will be a hit!
I ask for an honest opinion and no sarcasm please.
Thanks for your input.
