Great Lakes Express has begun a fairly extensive service from Omaha Nebraska. This is a pretty big gamble for Great Lakes Express as there is not a lot of clambering for Omaha service. If you look at our “business plan” though, Omaha fits in perfectly, small aircraft and short flights that serve into larger airports (Milwaukee). We are not looking for huge numbers out of Omaha but at lease 5-8 flights flown per month per aircraft is reasonable.
I am looking into painting up the PMDG 737-600 as another alternative to the Wilco 737-500 aircraft. The Wilco models do not work under the 64bit operating systems and that is the direction the world is heading so we are going to be prepared.
I am also looking into the possibility of getting another 737-500 in the system yet this year, we have a fairly good route set up for it, Chicago Midway to Detroit to Buffalo to Boston to Washington DC. There are more destinations we are working on but this will give you a nice opportunity to fly the 737-500 on flights right around 40 minutes.
