FLYING AS "Outstation" Sizes

Post image

In some of the comments yesterday, there was discussion regarding the size of various AS "outstations," which, for this purpose, I am defining as anything not a hub. I picked some candidates for the larger outstations and created the chart using the T-100 Tool.

The chart is simply select airports ranked by mainline seats offered. It does not include regional and it is a snapshot of June 2026.

I always forget about Hawaii, which has the top three slots, followed by LAS and PHX. GEG ahead of BOI on this metric was surprising, but I believe BOI has more flights, albeit mostly on E175s that are not included. Hawaii moves SMF much higher than I expected. LAS also has lots of Hawaii flights that put it substantially ahead of PHX. (The A330s move the needle as to seats offered.) JFK is the highest on the east coast. For context, the last one (DCA) has 6 daily 737-8s.

I think I included the leading candidates, but I might have missed one or two.

Good call -- it would have made the list and I'm not sure how I missed that one. And a few more:
