During the American Airlines hub period, flights also served the Caribbean in many destinations, including 2 daily flights to AA's hub in San Juan (at that time), Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, St. Croix. The original San Juan flight continued on to Barbados. Hokiefan101 16:39, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
Recently RDU-DEN seasonal service was added. Can anyone verify this? I believe this to be a fabrication and should probably be removed. - Kacey 19:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Growth
The article says RDU is one of the fastest growing airports in the US and then lists annual passanger numbers stagnating in the last 15-20 years. Amanitin 11:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
You're right. RDU's website states it was the 2nd fastest growing airport in the country in 2000, but it's now 2008 and growth has slowed down considerably since then.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 10:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Smoking
Does anyone else think that the article should mention the new non-smoking policy inside the airport? Maybe it doesn't belong, but I found it interesting since NC is the tobacco state. Here's a link if someone decides it's noteworthy. http://www.rdu.com/travelinfo/smoking.htm --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Why is 98.26.60.99 repeatedly removing the image found at the top of the page?--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 20:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RDU hist.jpg
Image:RDU hist.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Net Jets
Does anyone know of the progress of the proposed netjets hub/maintenance facility? RDU is one of the proposed locations for a hub station.
http://www.wral.com/business/local_tech_wire/news/story/2249767/ This article gives some details, but it's still in question whether or not they will relocate to RDU. An announcement might be given in March. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Maybe we should put an ad into the article about the proposed maintenance base. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.162.161.159 (talk) 06:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- IMO, I think we should hold off on adding the NetJets reference until a final decision has been made in regards to whether or not RDU will be the actual hub. If we add a section about the proposal and RDU doesn't get it, then we'll just have to remove the entire section since it wouldn't be considered noteworthy. On a side note, this story shows it's between RDU and MCO. Here's another related story. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 07:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Recently MCO was taken out as a possible base. But i do agree with that it would be pointless if we end up having to erase if it doesnt happen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.49.60 (talk)
This won't be necessary any more, Net Jets decided to stay in Ohio. --HBombL (talk) 16:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RDU to Cancun
It is listed that Cancun service by delta airlines nonstop will start february 2, 2008. Also it states this on RDU.com. But the flight doesnt appear for sale on Delta.com and i spoke to a res agent and they said they dont have listed nonstop service. Also it does list the nonstop to Cancun a few months later online at delta.com. Does anyone know when this service actually starts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.156.189 (talk) 23:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
An Orbitz search comes up with February 16th being the first Saturday available for a one-way ticket. I'll change the date in the article unless someone else knows anything different.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] International service at RDU
I noticed that one of the pictures on the RDU site states "the only international flight out of RDU is LGW.. "
Interesting, but Toronto is still considered international. And also, though it ends in a month, RDU still has Cancun. I think we should edit it to say "One international flight out of RDU is LGW.. "
Just a thought..
