JetBlue in MDW..
 

Has anyone heard anything through the grapevines about JB begining service to MDW?

The reason why I ask is because I have actually been SEEING JB planes landing at MDW over the past few days,.. I don't know what they're doing and why, but they're landing there..

Anyone know whats up?

Obama charter??

He used to fly on ATA, but they went belly-up so that is not working out so much any more. I looked through FlightAware for the past couple days and didn't see any B6 flights at MDW, but I was surprised at just how many of the flights there are WN.

Highly unlikely that JetBlue intends to start scheduled service at Chicago-Midway.

I remember that JetBlue delayed their entry into the Chicago market until they could get gates and slots at ORD (Chicago-O'Hare).

So far, they have very limited service at ORD, just LGB and JFK. I really can't see JetBlue adding a second Chicago airport or moving their service from ORD.

Possible explanations: charter flights; flights to one of the maintenance facilities at MDW.

We had a plane there Fri/Sat for a private charter, and there are many planned for the summer for both McCain and others going into MDW.

I'm not sure what you mean by seeing planes land there over the past few days; the only B6 activity at MDW this month were two charter flights. A charter arriving and departing on the 19th, and another charter arriving Friday and leaving Saturday.

ORD - BOS as well, right?

Yes we currently have;

ORD-BOS
ORD-JFK
ORD-LGB

I believe that the JFK and LGB flights (except one JFK flight) are under the slots and the remain JFK flight and the BOS flights are timed so they don't need slots. (This is working off memory - someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
