When the joint Mexico/US customs facility (the only inland one in the US) gets built at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport, I think that Mexico flights will get supercharged.

AA is launching both La Paz and Loreto next week, in addition they just added Culiacan starting in March. Chihuahua was added W19 but was cut when COVID hit.

You dont much traffic outside the beach destinations. The only inland destinations are Mexico City and Guadalajara. US Airways tried Monterrey in mid 2000's and didnt last long just like Chihuahua.

Just saw a message from Sky Harbor that the Sky Train is shut down from Terminal 4 to the east economy garage for three to four weeks. Anyone know what's up?

I saw that, too. I went on Facebook page. They will shut down for 3 or 4 weeks.

You have take shuttle bus from entire T3 or T4 to 44th St station. I won't ride on SkyTrain for a while.

Hawaiian Airlines has announced a new nonstop service that will run this summer between Phoenix and Maui. Starting just before Memorial Day and running through mid-August, the airline will use an Airbus A321neo to connect Arizona to Maui, making it a new route for the carrier but not a new route for either airport...

WOOHOO!

I saw that this morning. The extra special surprise being Lihue and Kona.

I wonder if other cities are getting similar service or if Southwest is assuming a lot of the passengers will be on connecting flights. Would have never thought there'd be such frequent service to multiple locations in Hawaii.

That’s too. They should be done very well. Lot of competition. It will operate on the 737-MAX8.

Hi all,

Do you remember the mural is? They used at old terminal 2. They moved the mural to Rental Car Center now.

Some unspecified date in 2022. The construction is essentially done, but they have to do testing before opening it for regular service.
