USA 3000 serves Saint Louis, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Chicago... why not Indianapolis?

If they don't want to go scheduled here they should at least charter. They could easily fill a charter to Aruba, The Bahamas, or Jamaica.

I'm guessing that terminal space is probably the reason, but what do you guys think?

Why do my favorite airlines end up going defunct??

They aren't big enough, their fleet isn't big enough, and there isn't enough O&D traffic at IND.

Really? I can see the fleet size being an issue, but O&D traffic? Does IND really have an O&D figure that much smaller than Cincinnati? Saint Louis? Columbus?

Cincinnati is a huge market with high fares = lots of money.

I probably should have said IND doesn't have a lot of untapped O&D Traffic, it seems that most of it is covered by NW and FL.

Cincinnati has a huge hub or a huge market? The Cinci metro is only 300,000 larger than IND, and they have huge fares because there is no competition.

While I'll agree that NW and FL have tapped the O&D, I still think that there is plenty left to go around.

I really do think they can fill a charter flight, because doesnt USA 3000 Airlines just operate A320's.
