Record year at Detroit airport

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/fligh...ord-2005_x.htm

DETROIT — Detroit Metropolitan Airport set a record for passenger traffic in 2005 despite a tepid local economy, higher jet fuel costs, and a mechanics strike and bankruptcy filing involving the airport's biggest carrier, Northwest Airlines.

This article misses the expansion of service by airlines like Spirit (which soon will be switching from MD-80s to 319's) and is says nothing about the number of flights that NW dropped from it's schedule just before the pilot's strike.

Nor does it mention the expansion of the B/C concourses at the South terminal

Nor does it mention the fact that the North terminal will be replaced by a new one soon.

and the new terminal and it's parking ramp isn't news anymore
