I Don’t see how this airline could make it, the Carlsbad area seems too small to support a full time operation, and how will this airline be able to compete against Frontier or Southwest in Phoenix or Sacramento? I Personally don’t see this airline getting off the ground until late 2013 if at all. However i do wish them luck.

Great! Latest word from the airport was that they were trying to get flying by June of 2011. The more flights the better! Oops… full disclosure… my office is two blocks from the terminal. I usually stroll over to catch LAX flights, leave my car at work! Selfish, I know, but really cool… so, go CP Air!

re the last comment about ‘no-one flies to San Diego just to go to Legoland’ – well I just did pretty much that SFO-LAX-Carlsbad with my 4 year old. It was super-convenient after a day at the park to hop on to United’s Brasilia to LAX and then back SFO. But I’d go OAK-Carlsbad on California Pacific in a heartbeat next time…Good luck to CP Air..

I have to say, an airline to take full advantage of Carlsbad-Palomar Airport would be good, lets just hope that this can get United to fly to other places than LAX out of Carlsbad, and have some other airlines offer service to there,

I’ll leave all the airline comparisons to those “experts.” Just to set the records straight. Carlsbad is a tourism/meetings destination. One only has to check out the TOT that the city collects from the hotels to confirm. Golf, beaches, trails, lagoons, shopping, dining, sailing, water sports, great weather, less traffic than OC & LA and no terrorist attacks. What else would you do on vacation?

I’d love to see a Carlsbad to Tucson route. Have you ever tried to get to Tucson from S. Calif.? You can’t there from here. This route is a very underserved market and a small airport like Carlsbad seems like a natural to me.

As a member of the Carlsbad Community and as a traveler I welcome a new airline industry that can contribute to the commons sense of traveling. San Diego (SAN) has not yet grown up to the necessities of its community. The infantile behavior of city planners is about to get a big surprise with CLD and CPAir
