Comair's last flight today- company closes tomorrow.
Comair's last flight before shutting down is leaving at 2pm Cincy-Houston. Sad to see this close - was once Regional Airline of the Year. Helped usher in the regional jet explosion in the 90s and was a dominant player at CVG, employed 7000 people. A long time ago I worked Blue Team Ramp Operations and we had Brasilias, Saab 340s and Canadair Regional Jets - an exciting time. There was the disastrous Christmas scheduling snafu of 2004, and a pilots' strike. Execs says company never… (flightaware.com) Más...

Fond memories of the Comair Concourse at CVG...and the bus rides out to it!
Business and personal flights took me through the concourse over one hundred times.
Amazing how Delta could turn a $2.3 Billion, yes with a B Billion dollar investment into nothing in such a short time. The demise of Comair is a testament to Delta management.
Well, somebody ticked somebody off and as DAL was the big dog, I think they took it down just to show that they could, whether it made any sense or not. I remember that bus ride too and sometimes not even having to make it, when I had ComAir on both legs. CVG ran like a well oiled machine and so did all the outlying stations. It beat the heck out of anything that is out there now. The people actually enjoyed their jobs, management treated them decent, and it showed.
I worked for them for a while in Flint. Great company and people!
It's definitely a shame that they had to close the CVG hub, I remember going out of the country for the first time 5 years ago, CVG-LGW. It was the only international flight I ever took that wasn't delayed. Living in Columbus, I remember the 30 min. roller coaster ride from CMH-CVG on the CRJ-200, good times. I think we were one of the last flights to arrive in concourse C. I still can't believe that they shut down the CVG hub instead of shutting down Memphis, because the facilities at CVG are a bit better in my opinion.
