Talk:Provo Municipal Airport

San Bernardino Inclusion
Should San Bernardino be included as a destination? I ask this because the route is Provo - San Francisco - San Bernardino. It is being advertised as a one stop, no plane change destination on SBD’s website and by Breeze. Additionally, you can’t book a flight through Breeze from San Bernardino to Tampa for example but you can from San Bernardino to Provo even though SFO goes to Tampa.

The wording on SBD’s website is one stop direct service to Provo, see the link I included above. House1090 (talk) 21:36, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Breeze offers several of these flights, known as “Breeze-Thru’s”. For example, MCO to BDL has one via CHS, ISP to MSY has one via CHS and so on. They offer MANY of these and they would fill up destination tables dramatically at certain airports (such as their bases at TPA and CHS). Thus, I think we should keep it to nonstop destinations for Breeze (as many other editors have been doing) VenFlyer98 (talk) 20:22, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I don’t think “filling up destination tables” is an excuse for not including these flights seeing both the airline and airports are counting these as destinations. Here is another example of the media counting SBD as a Provo destination. House1090 (talk) 00:04, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

SBD and PVU saying it isn’t the point. As I said it’s a “Breeze Thru” on Breeze. They offer MANY of these. The point is it would fill the table at airports where they have MANY more flights (again, CHS/TPA/ORF as examples). If we include Provo on SBD’s page, we need to include ALL Breeze Thru’s across the entire Breeze network, and editors seemed to agree not to include them to avoid this.

Provo Airport or Provo Municipal?
Is the name of the airport Provo Airport or Provo Municipal Airport? Ive seen many articles suggesting that it changed to Provo Airport to attract more air service. JakeOfRaleigh (talk) 05:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

FAA Charts and legal descriptions all refer to the airport as Provo Municipal. KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 22:14, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Missing information
It seems that there is a fair amount of missing information about the Provo Airport, mainly on the general aviation side of things. I know that there is pretty large presence in General Aviation there such as the new Duncan Aviation facilities. Any suggestions on where this information and what should be included. I don't have local knowledge of PVU, but can see from charts etc that there is enough of a presence in GA to include. I can add some info, but someone with local knowledge may want to contribute.

I'm going to add a new section on the general aviation side of the Provo airport. I have a small amount of local knowledge, so again if any editors with local knowledge, please contribute. For example, I am familiar with the Duncan Aviation maintenance facilities. According to Duncan's website, this is a $70 million 328,000 sq/ft state-of-the-art facility that, as of 2023 employs about 250 people. The Provo airport website barely mentions this facility! This oversite isn't unique as other airports where Duncan is based (Lincoln, NE Battle Creek, MI) barely mentions their presence. This example also brings up the fact that general aviation's overall presence on Wikipedia airport pages is weak and really not adequately represented. This may even be something that WikiProject: Aviation might be able to help with. Anyway, for now, I'll add what I can on the Provo page on the GA presence there.KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 17:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
