I thought it was College Park airport in MD from 1909. I think it has operated continuously and not just mail. It certainly hasn't always had an airline though. Its Wilbur Wright's home turf. For airlines budget accommodation prague service I think it is either MSP or SYD .
Quoting AviationAddict ( Reply 8 ): Well, I know this doesn't answer budget accommodation prague the question but according to this article (I have no idea how accurate it is) PIE - TPA was the first schedule passenger route in the world.
"Amsterdam Airport Schiphol opened on September 16, 1916 as a military airfield, but only accepted civil aircraft from December 17, 1920, allowing Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia—which started operations in January 1920—to claim to be one of the world's oldest continually operating commercial airports.[7] Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, opened in 1920 and has been in continuous commercial service since. It serves budget accommodation prague about 35,000,000 passengers each year and continues to expand, recently opening a new 11,000 foot (3,355 meter) runway. Of the airports constructed during this early period in aviation, it is one of the largest and busiest that is still currently operating. Rome Ciampino Airport, opened budget accommodation prague 1916, is also a contender."
Unless it means something else. Stroud says NW started flying passengers Chicago to Minneapolis in July 1927-- any reason to think MSP had scheduled budget accommodation prague passenger flights before that? Didn't Ciampino lose all its scheduled airlines for a time after Fiumicino opened? And Schipol may be a "continually operating" airline airport, as long as continually doesn't mean continuously.

Graphic radisson miyako hotel san francisco by Larry Ray / The Rag Blog Northwest's dreamy flight includes bedtime fairytale By Larry Ray / The Rag Blog / October 26, 2009 Last Wednesday, Oct. 21, Delta-Northwest Airlines flight 188 from San Diego to Minneapolis arrived an hour late after the plane's pilots somehow flew right over the Minneapolis airport radisson miyako hotel san francisco and kept on flying eastward for another 150 miles, all the while failing to respond to repeated radisson miyako hotel san francisco radio calls to them by air traffic controllers. As of today the pilots are sticking with the story they gave the NTSB that they were "in a heated discussion about airline policy" and lost "situational awareness" when they flew past their destination at 37,000 feet. Earlier, over Denver, ATC got no reply from repeated radio calls on various frequencies to the Northwest pilots nor did other FAA centers till the plane finally radisson miyako hotel san francisco turned around after overshooting Minneapolis. It looked enough like a possible hijacking that National Guard jets were put on standby by the White House. Regardless of what the two pilots are claiming to the press, the logic of what happened would seem very clear to most pilots, even a non-commercial private pilot like me, and especially radisson miyako hotel san francisco any pilot flying under Instrument Flight Rules. Let's consider a few things... Airline pilots fly in a very structured environment. Flight plans with headings and altitudes are issued by Air Traffic Control centers; the plane is "handed off" from one regional ATC center to another further along the path the plane is following. Pilots cannot decide not to talk to the ATC controllers. There is a relatively continuous exchange of flight radisson miyako hotel san francisco altitudes and headings that is heard and read back confirming the information along the route. Aircraft radios are tuned to several different frequencies. Just picture several "phones" that can ring and also be used to call the ground. Pilots must answer any of them when they "ring." Every aircraft, private or commercial, must have a gizmo called a transponder that broadcasts a data string of four numbers which clearly identify the plane on radar. So while the Northwest airplane had "phones ringing" which they weren't answering, the ATC could see exactly where the plane was on their radar screens. Some very basic things a pilot is supposed to do include never flying with less than 8 hours between drinking alcohol and takeoff time, "bottle to throttle" time, and never ignoring and always acknowledging radio instructions from ATC. So, we have to ask. Why didn't anyone answer any of the several "phones ringing" in their headsets or over the cockpit radio speakers? Back on the ground, why would you not get an answer when you call a close friend whom you know is at home? Phone off the hook? Phone ring volume turned way down too low while friend is watching something really great on TV? Or, the TV show was too long and boring and your friend dozed off, not hearing the phone? Or they could have had an accident? When would they finally hear the phone and answer it? If they finally wake up from their snooze having faintly heard the phone ringing? Or if the police and ambulance you sent are banging on the door, while the phone is ringing? Airline pilots almost always only physically fly the airplane during takeoff, and landing. After climbing out to altitude the "flight plan" is keyed into the autopilot radisson miyako hotel san francisco computer which does all the long course leg flying. If ATC changes their flight plan while they are up at assigned altitude they just key in the changes in heading and altitude and the plane's system flies the changes radisson miyako hotel san francisco very smoothly and efficiently. They then usually only physically take control to land after being cleared to descend and land by ATC. Of course bad weather flying may require the pilot to take over to skirt thunderstorms and such. Most of the descent is routinely programmed into the computer as well, with the pilot taking the controls when on final to land. Most passengers do not know that many of today's modern aircraft have automatic landing systems where the plane's flight controls and throttles are all computer controlled. This allows once impossible landings through thick soupy rain and fog right to touchdown. Many larger airliners even have a "full stop " landing capability that flies the plane to touchdown, steers it straight on the runway heading, slows it down and applies brakes to a full stop if that capability is ever necessary. radisson miyako hotel san francisco Pilots are still in total command, but the new capabilities make life lots easier when needed. So, with all this considered, radisson miyako hotel san francisco an intense radisson miyako hotel san francisco cockpit conversation about union rules and inequities that lasted from Denver to beyond Minneapolis, drowning out all the radio, email and data messages would have had to be compelling dialogue radisson miyako hotel san francisco worthy of Shakespeare. Airline bean counters in recent years have been combating increasing fuel and operational costs by tightening up flight schedules and pilot-crew pay. FAA-required rest and sleep times have been complied with only on paper in many instances. The real world includes airport-motel flight crew travel times, time to eat, getting radisson miyako hotel san francisco restful sleep, waking up way too early, showering and dressing and making it to back the airport on time. Too frequently this stretches FAA requirements way too thinly. Not enough actual beneficial sleep, which is cumulative, can make pilots tired and less sharp. radisson miyako hotel san francisco This reportedly is all too frequently becoming routine. Imagine, a little before Flight radisson miyako hotel san francisco 188 reached Denver, the Captain says to the First Officer in the right seat, "Charlie, I'm really beat and may be coming down with a damned cold. How about taking it while I get a couple of minutes sleep?" First Officer, Charlie, says, "Sure Skipper, radisson miyako hotel san francisco I've got it. Great weather, smooth air, so catch a couple winks." This is prohibited by the FAA for U.S. airlines. Then with the familiar crackle of radio chatter radisson miyako hotel san francisco the only distraction in the cockpit, good old Charlie, who is more worn out than the Captain, starts to nod a little, then a little more and soon he is out cold, deeply asleep. And neither pilot wakes up till a flight attendant bangs on the door or repeatedly clangs the little intercom chime in the cockpit. It is not reasonable that pilots, knowing they really screwed up, are going to tell authorities or the press right off the bat that they went to sleep with 144 passengers on board. They will stonewall it, futilely hoping their Airline Pilots Association lawyers can intervene with the NTSB and FAA and possibly get them off with a suspension from flying for a few months instead of losing their licenses and hard earned "type ratings" certifying them to pilot multiple radisson miyako hotel san francisco models of airliners. A life's worth of training and experience snoozed away is too tough to accept. The pilots' attorneys know this story will quickly fall off the TV news radar screen and be replaced with some other bizarre event. Just a few days before this latest Delta-Northwest Airlines bizarre story, one of Delta's airliners landed in Atlanta at 6:o3 AM on a taxiway instead of the runway. Fortunately no one was taxiing as they landed. Because of dominating political news, that equally incredible story didn't get the big play this mystery pilot story is getting. Perhaps my oft-mentioned "two-headed radisson miyako hotel san francisco mule," will appear on CNN with each head actually making speech-like utterances as if they were talking, one head delivering one sentence with the other head picking up the next mulish garble. But on second thought, that may not be novel enough even for CNN. . . that kind of thing is seen constantly on cable newscasts. But with two human "co-anchor" talking heads which have nicer hair and sometime even speak intelligibly as they divide the news commentary, one line for him, then next for her. Nothing would delight me more than to be completely blindsided with some astounding revelation from the NTSB and FAA investigations of the errant Northwest Airlines flight that exonerates the Captain and Charlie. radisson miyako hotel san francisco Interestingly, Northwest is supposed to be the first North American carrier operating the new 787 Boeing "Dreamliner"... maybe this was a secret test flight? radisson miyako hotel san francisco If the pilots are exonerated, I will certainly post a new article on such findings... radisson miyako hotel san francisco unless I get completely distracted with news of a real live two headed mule somewhere. UPDATE: Monday, Oct 26, 6:25 p.m. Breaking news now tells us that Captain Timothy Cheney and First Officer Richard Cole are telling investigators that instead of having had a "heated discussion" they had broken out their laptop computers and the junior officer was showing the Captain how to use a new computerized crew-scheduling system being introduced by Delta-Northwest where pilots now put in "bids" by computer for the flights they prefer. The picture is now not napping radisson miyako hotel san francisco pilots, but pilots totally absorbed in their laptops with no idea where they were, and not even using their radios. Their cyber-seance was broken, radisson miyako hotel san francisco they say, when a flight attendant knocked on the door and asked what their estimated arrival time was. By then, at 37,000 radisson miyako hotel san francisco feet they were more than 100 miles beyond their destination. At this point would you rather have had pilots sleeping, or pilots totally unaware of radio communication or where the plane was while they were fully awake? Talk about people using their cell phones and texting while driving! There still remains the question as to whether they really were, in fact, asleep or now have hatched a new, still hard to believe cover story about being totally absorbed in their laptop computers, which is also against regulations.

In some ways, the latest update from the National Transportation Safety Board about Northwest Airlines Flight 188 from San Diego to Minneapolis confirms the worst fears: The pilots just plain weren t paying a lick of attention to flying the airplane.
The NTSB interviewed both pilots, both experienced aviators, who overflew MSP last week and said the captain and first officer say they had laptop computers out and were deep in discussion of a new crew scheduling system rental car insurance coverage launched by Northwest s parent, Delta Air Lines. The first officer was showing rental car insurance coverage the captain how the new system worked, and neither were listening to radio transmissions or even glancing at airplane instruments or messages from company dispatchers.
Neither pilot was aware of the plane s position, some 100 miles past their destination, until a flight attendant called and asked when they would land. The captain said, at that point, rental car insurance coverage he looked at his primary rental car insurance coverage flight display for an ETA and realized that they had passed MSP. They made contact with ATC (air-traffic control) and were given vectors back to MSP, the NTSB said in a statement.
Neither pilot said he was fatigued, and they d had a 19-hour layover in San Diego before Flight 188, their first flight of the day. The NTSB noted that use of personal laptop computers in the cockpit is a violation of company policy.
The Airbus A320 s cockpit voice recorder captured only 30 minutes, including time on the ground, and the recording began when the plane was on final approach. The investigation will continue rental car insurance coverage the safety board said it is interviewing flight attendants and other company personnel.
There s an old saying in aviation: Flying can be hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. Automation can make flying a jet a boring task set the autopilot and all you have to do is change radio frequencies as you cross the country.  Automation has made air travel safer, but complacency in the cockpit will lead to accidents.

Even though there is no excuse for the pilots not communicating they have served the country well. They proved that the US via the FAA and NTSB isn’t protecting us any better than on 9/11. The time that there was no communication with the Flt 188 pilots is longer than the time that the two planes took off and crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11. No fighters rental car insurance coverage took off all during that time. Thus, as an emergency drill Flight 188 proved that we were unprotected rental car insurance coverage and that is just as we were on 9/11. A year prior to 9/11 we knew that hijacking was a major threat and blogs had planes crashing into the World Trade Center and assessing rental car insurance coverage the damage. The FAA and the NTSB did nothing then and allowed this known threat to materialize into an national disaster that killed 3000 people.
A year prior to 9/11 I spoke at the International Aviation Safety Association in New York about preventing decompression crashes like golfer Payne Stewart and hijacking from occuring. On November 13th of this year I spoke on these issues at the Advanced Aviation Manufacturing Conference in St. Augustine, Florida. rental car insurance coverage In that talk I also spoke of the Air France Flight 488 crash of an Airbus where the Black Boxes haven’t been recovered from the Atlantic. rental car insurance coverage The 9/11 crashes into the World Trade Center’s Black Boxes also have never been recovered.
The fact is that it easy to tranmit the data to the ground for safe ground storage and it also easy to prevent 9/11 if we have the will to do it and if the leaders of our nation are committed to accomplish this. This was possible prior to 9/11 and it is much easier to do now.
I win all sorts of awards at technical meetings and everyone asks why isn’t done. I lost a friend on a recurring air crash that I sent on a work assignment while I was Chief Engineer of Northrop s Electronics Division. The people who head our government and its aviation agencies have never lost anyone and that is the major reason for these crashes.
Ron, I agree with your comments and find humor in what you are saying, but I totally disagree with your characterization of SWA. Have you flown recently? ALL AIRLINES cater to the lowest common denominator. Southwest Airlines is the BEST carrier rental car insurance coverage out there. Always on time, no baggage fee, very convenient rental car insurance coverage and robust schedule, they go just about anywhere in the U.S and they,unlike all the others, actaully care about people. I feel more like cattle in the United or American terminal than I do at SWA.
These 2 pilots are just as human as you and I. Humans make mistakes. Don t condemn them before the investigation. Give them a chance to defend themselves, there may be other mitigating factors that you and I are not aware of..
You are 100 percent wrong pal! Everyone from the ground to the passengers to the flight crew were in danger! What if they ran out of fuel? What if they hit another aircraft? there is only 1,000 feet seperation at those altitudes! rental car insurance coverage But hey! Your the expert! What do I know? I am only a pilot that can t get an interview with Delta or Northwest! In fact with my flight hours and experience I got a letter from Northwest saying as impressive as my resume is, I was not accepted, please apply in six Months! Found out that they don t want experienced rental car insurance coverage pilots. They want people right out of flight school with little or no hours who still lives with Mom and Pop who can afford to make $17,000 a year. It s all about the Money folks! Who cares about my experience or clean safe record?

For many of us just hearing the name “Route 66” stirs the soul. Since its establishment on November 11, 1926, Route 66 has been one of the most famous roads in America and the stuff of legends. It served as a  major route for those who migrated west, especially in the 1930’s during the Dust Bowl years. Countless businesses along the route became prosperous due to the tremendous popularity of the highway, and then fought to keep the highway italy and greece discount tours alive as the Interstate Highway System began routing travelers away from Route 66.

Scott Shinn grew up in North Carolina. He has a passion for classic cars and had long felt the draw of Route 66. In his own travels along Route 66 over the years he spoke to many fellow travelers from all over the world.
Taking the iconic road trip in a vintage, meticulously restored ‘64 Corvette Stingray, ‘67 Camaro SS, ‘55 Bel Air hardtop italy and greece discount tours or ‘65 Mustang convertible would be the ultimate italy and greece discount tours touring experience, italy and greece discount tours right?

As well as adding more cars,  Shinn is planning other road trips (at the time of this writing there is a survey on the website to collect opinions on the next routes), but for now drivers have a choice of traveling Route 66 from East to West or West to East in a 19-day itinerary.
The  Basic 19-Day Route 66 Classic Car Hire provides travelers tremendous flexibility while enjoying the authenticity of a beautifully restored and highly maintained vintage American car. The Classic Car Hire includes:
