Connecticut Airport Authority ’s Post

The revitalization of Tweed-New Haven Airport illustrates how strategic innovation in the airline industry can transform regional air travel. Once a quiet airport with a handful of daily flights, Tweed is now a bustling hub with about 30 flights a day, connecting travelers to over two dozen destinations. This growth has been driven by start-up airlines like Avelo Airlines and Breeze Airways, which have capitalized on opportunities in underserved markets ignored by major carriers. As Professor John Strong of William & Mary aptly notes, this marks "the next generation of industry structure and evolution." By focusing on smaller airports, Avelo and Breeze are not only filling gaps in the market but also creating economic benefits for local communities, from job creation to increased tourism. This shift highlights a broader trend in aviation, where smaller players are rethinking traditional routes and service models to meet regional demand. Could this be a blueprint for the future of air travel? #AviationInnovation #RegionalAirports #TravelTrends

Asturias sets a new all-time record 💚 The Principality's airport has once again beaten its 2023 records, which were already the highest in its history. In the year to date, the infrastructure has registered 7.6% more passengers. Little by little, we must continue to create a solid base to consolidate the air routes and continue to increase the network of destinations, which will be extended from December with the launch of a new route with the city of Castellón, operated by Volotea. What about you? Are you planning to fly to Asturias? The natural paradise, your destination, awaits you on the horizon.

2nd of Jan 2025, SAS - Scandinavian Airlines will gradually start to increase our frequencies from two to eight daily flights from Visby to Stockholm. This is probably the biggest increase any airline will do on a destination in a single year. So that brought me and Rikard Steinholtz to Visby to discuss with Trafikrådet on how we can make that a success. It will mean a change for many travelers that today fly to Bromma airport which is closer to the city centre. But the positives outweigh the negatives. Having more frequencies to Arlanda will mean that more people can benefit from the network that SAS - Scandinavian Airlines offers out of Arlanda. Our domestic network is growing and with the new timetable more destinations will be reached to/from Visby. This is a much bigger opportunity for the island than the distance to Stockholm city centre. And for you who haven't been to Visby, Gotland, now is the time. Region Gotland Visit Gotland
