What would happen if BermudaII would be lifted? At least a dozen ( maybe a lot more ) intl. airlines would demand slots at LHR, and of course most of them during the rush hour times. Are BA/AA/VS/UA required to give up slots for the competition? Afaik
there are absolute no slots available right now during the "premium" times.

Alaska announced amid great fanfare the launch of the first ever international service from SNA, with daily operation to YVR. Their first flight operated as planned, until the US Government notified them that SNA is NOT an international airport and hence they could not operate internationally from there. It appears that someone at Alaska's route planning department had inadvertently missed out that *minor* detail.

Out of curiousity, why would this matter? AC flies from Canada to LGA/DCA. Are they the only ones who can pre-clear Canadians for customs? Was it at a time before such protocol was in place? Just wondering.</font>

So technically could IReland flights go into LGA as they also have pre-cleared customs??

Would the 75's or 76's be okay?? Or would their fuel load out be too heavy?? I suppose much of the Caribbean would qualify as well then?

There already are services to the Carribean from LGA, and possibly DCA as well. I know that DL runs LGA-NAS and used to do LGA-BDA at some point. DCA-NAS was on the cards last September, but I don't recall if it actually started.
Both LGA and DCA might be restricted from European ops by their respective perimeter rules though.

That would also be beyond the LGA distance limit (perimeter rule).

I must respectfully insist otherwise. DAL (Dallas Love Field/DALLAS) and HOU (Houston Hobby Field/HOUSTON) are two that immediately come to mind.
MKC includes the airports KMKC (Kansas City Downtown), KOJC (Kansas City Executive), KJCI (Kansas City Industrial) and KMCI (Mid Continent International). Service to London may be operated from any of those gateways, pending approval from the appropriate US authorities.</font>

http://www.mapping.com/airportcodes.html
lists KCK for kansas city metro area, no listing for JCI or kansas city industrial. it also lists MKC for kansas city downtown.
http://www.airnav.com
KCK was not found (nor other metro codes like NYC)
KJCI was not found.
JCI returns IXD - NEW CENTURY AIRCENTER AIRPORT OLATHE, KS
and looking up IXD in mapping.com shows two listings for that code:
olathe, ks, and allahabad, india.
interstingly, faa.gov had a very very sparse listing of airport codes.

pdxer - you are barking up the wrong tree here buddy, but I'm more than willing to show you the error of your ways.
MKC is the IATA code for Kansas City Metropolitan area.
KMKC is the ICAO code for Kansas City Downtown airport. Similarly KMCI for Mid Continent International, KJCI for Johnson County Industrial (hence JCI) and KOJC for Olathe - Johnson County Executive (hence OJC). All of these are included under the IATA MKC code.
KCK is the IATA code for Fairfax Municipal Airport which is located about 23 miles southeast of MCI.

In truth, QDF is the IATA code for Conselheiro Lafaiete in Brazil.
