The Pittsburgh Airport Authority has been expanding it's advertising in the Greater Cleveland area about the Paris flight, billboards, radio, TV, Newspaper, and even internet. I wonder how many passengers it will draw from this. It's not a bad drive at all since they redid the interstate and the airport is great.
I would think city leaders here would be talking to Delta about starting seasonal service from CLE in light of the United hub closure. Since CO cut London and Paris they have probably backed off trying to talk to other airlines and they were scared to upset United but UA has hung them out to dry. I am wondering however if the PIT advertisement campaign may hurt any chance of CLE-CDG.
I am also surprised DL did not add back some CLE-CVG flights as they also could feed traffic for CVG-CDG for those not wanting to drive to PIT or avoid JFK.
