Speculation at ELM

ELM (Elmira-Corning, NY) is my local airport. The only scheduled services are the regional affiliates of Delta (CRJ to DTW) and USAir (CRJ or Dash-8 to PHL), and Allegiant twice a week to MCO.

The county executive is quoted in the newspaper today as saying, "We are going to have a significant announcement in the next few weeks, relative to increased service at the airport. I'm just not at liberty to say what it is."

Anyone care to guess? The other small airports nearby are ITH, which also has CO service to EWR and US to LGA, both on Dash-8, and BGM, with UA to IAD on Saab 340.

Hey kochleffel ..ELM is also my local airport. Not sure what the announcement might be,but I hope it is something that will be beneficial to us. We will have to wait and see.

Well, the big news is that Allegiant is adding flights to and from Ft. Lauderdale.

I had been hoping for CO or UA regional service, to EWR or IAD.

Caught this thread late and was thinking he could just be talking about a restaurant inside security. But like you said, UA service to IAD wouldn't be bad.

A restaurant, or just about anything, inside security would be convenient.

But wait... there's been ANOTHER dramatic announcement: two of the DL flights to DTW are being upgraded from CRJ 200 to CRJ 900.

Is the vending machine gone?
