St. Louis Lambert International Airport Update

Transcript

Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge:Obviously, we're into Europe, so we would love to see any of the European markets, whether that be London or Frankfurt or Paris or Amsterdam or, you know, Dublin, any of those. We're very excited about those. From a U.S. standpoint, we are very well served, so we've got a lot of the long-haul markets on the U.S. side covered now. but really searching for that next European route. It's one of the ongoing things that we're looking at. I mean, I think, you know, it's like any airport. You're just always trying to say, is there something else out there that we, that we could be doing? So it's an opportunity to explore and take a look at it. Hasn't moved too far at this point, so we continue to work on being able to bring an advisor group on to take a look at the possibilities of it. It's doing well. I mean, we couldn't be more pleased. It opened the first week in January, and the expectation was that, you know, they would start slow and it would grow. They've been doing extremely well. Our customers love it. It's in Terminal 2. We did not have a lounge in Terminal 2. It had been an ask of our customers for some time, so there's been a great response to it. And we've got a flight to Iceland with WOW Air starting May 17th. It's directly across from the club, so we're excited, and the customers have been telling us that that's going to be a great amenity for them on that flight as well. You know, we continue to look at some of those shorter-haul destinations. As I said, we've been very well served on both the East Coast and the West Coast. We just added Sacramento. and San Jose. We just announced Portland— not Portland, I'm sorry, Hartford as well. So we're really pleased with the East and West Coast destinations. We are looking at some of those Midwest destinations that we used to serve, like Indianapolis or Louisville, places that we haven't had for a while. So we're looking at some of those. Jacksonville, Florida is on our wish list, places like that, that, you know, customers, especially with the local market and the connecting market combined, the those markets now make sense for us. So we're continuing to work on some of those. Thank you.
