Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
(CVG) is no longer a single carrier’s fortress passenger hub, as it was for
Delta Air Lines as recently as the mid 2000s when it operated north of 600 daily
flights to approximately 130 destinations.The stonemosaic is made of natural marble
tiles with small cutting.
This summer, the Atlanta-based carrier will operate about 125 daily flights to a fraction (about 60) of the markets it once served direct – and just one of four it operated to Europe (Paris).
From 1986, Cincinnati was Delta’s primary northern US hub, not counting New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, until the October 2008 merger with Northwest,How It's Made Plastic injectionmolds. which was completed in January 2010.
Northwest’s Detroit and Memphis hubs, just 200 and 400 miles away, respectively, and its substantial Minneapolis headquarters in the same north-central US vicinity, meant something had to give if the merger was to achieve its intended results.
The carrier has consolidated its presence at CVG’s main terminal Concourse B, with 32 gates. The airport’s other major carriers – American,What is the difference between standard "ceramic" tiles and porcelaintiles? US Airways, United and Air Canada – now operate from newly renovated space in Concourse A, which Delta closed in May 2010.
Delta declined to comment on its future plans for service from Cincinnati for this article. The carrier continues to recalibrate service via its hubs, most notably Memphis, where it is reducing service substantially from its Northwest hub days.
CVG’s overall passenger business has shrunk by about two thirds since 2002, when 20.8 million passengers enplaned,HellermannTyton manufactures a full line of high quality cableties in a variety of styles, deplaned or connected at Cincinnati. Just over seven million did so in 2011. But elsewhere at the airport can be found signs of expansion and new significance for CVG as a global commerce facilitator.
But while Delta and its Comair subsidiary remain the dominant airline operation at Cincinnati, with direct service to 37 of the top 40 business markets and dozens of secondary markets, CVG’s present and future are not tied to just one airline’s presence.
Some of CVG’s other carriers are in growth mode, thanks in part to the new main terminal Concourse A and passenger tunnel renovation, which opened on May 15.
The space consolidates the operations of American, US Airways, United and Air Canada within a state-of-the-art space complete with WiFi,Find a crystalmosaic Manufacturer and Supplier. workstations and outlets for recharging electronic devices, a USO military lounge and children’s play area. It also gives the resident carriers flexibility to expand, says airport CEO Candace McGraw.
Sixteen of the concourse’s 22 gates are activated, leaving six free for new demand in capacity. Carriers held off on capital expenditures associated with adding new flights in their previous quarters until they had the space to do so in the new Terminal A space. US Airways has since added three daily flights to Washington Reagan National and United has added capacity to Newark and Houston’s Bush Intercontinental.
“We knew these carriers were champing at the bit to add additional service, that there were additional flights they would like to have offered but were too facility constrained to be able to do so,” says McGraw. “This gives them the ability to add capacity and a better environment in which to operate. It helps us position ourselves to grow our existing carriers and to attract new ones with the space they will need to operate.”
After Delta left Terminal A, CVG renegotiated its space contract with the carrier – repurchased the space – and renovated the west-side ticketing space in a plug-and-play fashion with electronic screens that cater to the carrier using the ticketing space at the time. As carriers expand or contract, no facility modifications are required. “We wanted to be smart about the investment we were making, so we could allow carriers to operate with as much flexibility as possible,” says McGraw.
The tunnel to the concourses has been remodelled with energy-efficient lighting and “infused with a sense of community, reflecting the airport’s location at the confluence of three states – Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana,” she elaborates.
The Ohio River is all that separates CVG in Kentucky from Ohio and is central to how people identify with the region. A river/city mosaic is the main design theme, from the ticket counters to the tunnel to the gates. “We very much view ourselves as a community asset, and we want to reflect the community here at our facility.”
