Yesterday, as I was coming home from college for the Summer I had the chance to fly one of the shortest jet routes in the country. The 83 mile flight from CSG (Columbus, Georgia) to ATL lasted a whopping 20 minutes. I m pretty sure it took longer to taxi to the gate in Atlanta than we were actually in the air. The flight got me thinking about what other short haul jet routes are out there. I did some research and this is what I found.
KFNT (Flint, MI) KDTW (Detroit, MI): Delta Express, operated by Pinnacle Airlines, operates about 2 daily flights utilizing CRJ-200 s. The flights are 56 miles and last about 15 minutes. These flights can be as short as 8 minutes !
Pinnacle Airlines for Delta flies a CRJ-200 from KCAK-KDTW. The flight only last about 15-20 mins. If the weather is nice you fly right over Cedar Point, Sandusky, Put-In-Bay and Kelly Islands and have a great view of Canada.
KORD (Chicago, IL) KMKE (Milwaukee, WI): Both American Connection / American Eagle and United Express operated by SkyWest Airlines fly this route. It is 69 miles, and takes about 15 minutes. county of los angeles public library American Connection / American Eagle fly ERJ-145 s while SkyWest uses CRJ-200 aircraft on this route.
I agree. county of los angeles public library This has got to be the shortest route, COS/DEN trips. Now operated by CRJs for UA or a mix of E170s, E190s or a Q400 on the Frontier side of the house taxi time can be longer county of los angeles public library then the actual flight time. United county of los angeles public library was running a B733 or B735 at times a few years back up to an A320 and even a B752 I believe once when I was working at COS.
I took a flight from Colorado Springs county of los angeles public library to Denver. I believe county of los angeles public library it was about 15 minutes in the air CRJ-700 The runway configuration that day made it a direct shot north. It was almost as if we were skimming the ground the whole time. It was pretty awesome!
COMAIR used to fly CRJ regional jets from Cincinnati CVG to Dayton DAY. Flight time was 13 minutes, jet never climbed above 10,000 ft. If you were lucky, northbound departure from Rwy 36 CVG, by the time the jet hit 10,000 it was time to descend straight approach Rwy 36 DAY.
Cubana de Aviacion flies a Iliushin 96 from MUVR to MUHA (Varadero/Havana), county of los angeles public library The flight is about 15 mins. 50nm. Deperting west direction gonna fliht at 6000 ft and no more than 10 mins. The Landing briefing should be performed before start up
How about the reverse Norfolk, VA (ORF) to Newport News, VA (PHF). It s 27 miles and 38 minutes via interstate county of los angeles public library and auto across the river. All flights leave ORF and stop in Philly, then back down to PHF. Average flight time is 3 hrs+. Average cost is $500.00. Go figure.
Like Tim G., back in the day we used to fly the L-1011 Tristar and B-727 from MIA to FLL to position for the next day s first flight to ATL (Delta). 22 NM, tower to tower. We hardly had time to finish the After Takeoff Checklist before it was time for the Landing Checklist!
I know it was not a jet. American Eagle had flight from JFK-PVD, but stopped in LGA. The JFK-LGA could not take passengers for that segment , though some flight crews would get on to pick up their cars. The Shorts 330 would call off their times , then they would call LGA that they were in range. county of los angeles public library It was only 10 miles and flight time was 5 minutes.
Early 1970 s while flying for Air California ( since acquired by AAL) we operated SNA-SJC-OAK. The SJC-OAK leg is 32 miles. We filed it Tower to Tower..the Departure and Arrival runways both oriented NW. Climbed county of los angeles public library to 3000 ft into the ILS 29 at OAK. Under 10 minutes.
county of los angeles public library Waaaay back when Texas International Airlines was still around (like in the late 1970 s), they had a short hopper county of los angeles public library from Midland, Texas, to San Angelo with DC-9 s. Don t recall the distance, county of los angeles public library but the flight attendants never left their seats, and as soon as you reached cruising altitiude, you started your descent. Can t have lasted more than 20 minutes tops.
I remember a flight I took from Cincinnati county of los angeles public library (KCVG) to Lexington (KLEX) on a Delta connection flight it was only 60.7 miles. The funny part is that I was working in Cincinnati at the time but it was way cheaper to fly to Lexington. So, I flew to Lexington via Cincinnati and rented a car to drive back to Cincinnati. I remember doing the same thing once for a KDEN to KCOS since Colorado Springs was much cheaper to fly to.
6,000 agl), over Flathead lake, with the Swan and Bitterroot Range at eye level, and the an almost aerobatic mountain-dodging approach into Missoula s runway 29, very high workload county of los angeles public library for the pilots. I don t remember anyone deplaning at MSO, we just took on pax, and went to SLC.
