F9 CVG
I checked out source you used for F9, it does state that there was talk of building a focus city here, but it has not been confirmed as such by F9. I won't delete it again until I hear from you as we seem to read this wiki the most. While we're here though one could argue that G4 also hasn't said CVG is a focus city, however the establishment of a base here unofficially confirms it. Ewedye (talk) 23:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The problem with many LCC's is that they really do not post what city is a focus city or not. Most of these sources are inconsistant and not actually from the airline, but interpretations with the local news. This is especially prevelant with F9 and G4. There was a talk dicussion on G4 a while ago and the conclusion was that Allegiant officially announces airports as "operating bases", which according to the Focus City article is another name for a Focus City. On Allegiant's page it was actually changed to "operating base" to better clarify this, though we decided to keep it as "Focus City" on airport pages to avoid confusion with maitinence bases. A similar problem exits with F9, because they constantly add a change routes, drastically changing the size of focus cites. The previous list needed to be badly updated, for instnace Miami was listed when it has no where close the destinations as other markets. I origionally changed the list based on this website: http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/frontier-airlines-rapid-network-changes-continue-a-return-to-philadelphia-now-with-a-ulcc-mindset-204809, which lists the top markets of Frontier and talks specifically about the airports F9 rapidly expanded in like ATL, CLE, and CVG. I used the other article as it uses the actual term "focus city". I could very well be argued that this is not enough evidence, but most of the current sources are very old, and its route structure has changed significantly as F9 goes from a LCC to a ULLC. Please let me know what you think, though I edit the CVG page, I am in no way trying to be bias and add F9 to make CVG look better, I too want the info to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!
