Mdw ramp action

N440LV, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, gets loaded up at Chicago Midway. Looking at the Bureau of Transportation’s statistics, it looks like of all of the airports Southwest serves, Chicago Midway is the most “dominated” by them with 95.8% of enplaned passengers June 2017 to May 2018. By comparison, Southwest’s market share at Houston Hobby is 92% of enplaned passengers and at Dallas Love Field it’s 91%. Interestingly, what all three airports (MDW, HOU, and DAL) have in common is they’re the smaller of two major airports in the same metropolitan area. A cursory review of other cities with a large Southwest presence tend to be in the 30-40% market share range, but if the airport is one of several in the area, it tends to fall in the 60-75% range like Baltimore-Washington with a 69% market share with passenger air traffic to the area split amongst BWI, IAD, and DCA. Oakland is similar with a 72% market share (traffic in the Bay Area split amongst OAK, SFO, and SJC) as is Burbank (72%) with traffic in the LA Basin split amongst LAX, LGB, and ONT. #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KMDW #MDW #ChicagoMidway #Chicago #airport #planespotting #airlines #Boeing #instagramaviation #737 #Southwest #airlines #N440LV #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #Avgeekery #AvGeek_SchoolofKnowledge #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge (at Chicago Midway International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmrgFZ2goRP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=439s578wqvfb

Feel free to check out my main tumblr. It’s a bit more .. artsy (?).. idk. But mainly it’s way more colorful and happier than this blog. So if you’re looking for something that’s a bit more nice (i guess) give it a try. 

Reunited with this baddie over the weekend! #woes4lyfe

There's a lot of activity going on at airports. You don't realize how busy these places are until... TIME-LAPSE! I sat at Midway's gate B7 for a few minutes recording the action. Keep an eye on the departures on the left side of the frame shooting into the sky toward the middle of the frame.

A few weeks ago I flew with Southwest Airlines from MDW to SDF. Of course I shot a time lapse. What else was I going to do for 50 minutes next to a window? Video by AeroSavvy.com

Arrived 1am Monday morning to Chicago Midway, windchill was -40. It was colder here than the South Pole on Monday and Tuesday. Although it is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere, I find it pretty impressive!
