Future airline service

[BG918]

I could see America West or jetBlue making OKC their south-central hub someday. Once the OKC airport is finished with their renovation I'm sure they will be looked at. But the airlines are still recovering financially from 9/11 and won't be majorly expanding anytime soon.

Future service OKC needs:

United - San Francisco, Washington Dulles
American - Los Angeles, Miami
jetBlue - New York JFK
America West - Las Vegas
Northwest - Detroit
Delta - Orlando
US Airways - Philadelphia, Charlotte
Southwest - San Antonio, Albuquerque, Wichita, Austin, San Diego, New Orleans
Air Canada - Toronto
Mexicana - Mexico City

With Great Plains gone, does OKC still have non-stop service to Tulsa?

Northwest already has a non stop to Detroit. Jet Blue could also have a flight to Long Beach.

It also occured to me that Alaska Airlines may already be considering Oklahoma City. ARA has a major maintanace contract with them at Will Rogers.

Alaska would be a good airline to start OKC-Seattle service someday. I checked and Delta, of all airlines, has a non-stop OKC-Tulsa flight.

Do you think OKC would ever become a regional hub, with flights to smaller towns around Oklahoma and Kansas? I always thought that would've been a good fit for Great Plains, offering service to cities like Lawton and Guymon.
