With Shreveport's specilized airport task force at work now, today's news about a planned merger between United and Continental Airlines got me to wondering about what that could mean for local flights.
Do you think it would be worth tracking flyer costs since Delta and Northwest got together? Has anyone who flies out of Shreveport Regional Airport noticed much difference? Could Shreveport get a flight to another hub with United service?
The United-Continental deal is worth about $3 billion. Seabury Airport Planning Group, which seeks a $35,000 contract for two studies with the city, said Shreveport has the highest ticket prices in the United States for an airport with the size of its passenger load. The group said average ticket prices at SHV is $214. It's been a while since I flew for that cheap.
