Joking about the "International Airport" over on the cruise thread got me thinking about the elusive PHX-RP route that is always talked about, but never happens. It seems like every few years a start up comes around and says they're going to make it happen, and then, like Boomerfest, nothing. Well, here's the latest...

I don't know about anybody else, but I would love to do something like this just once. I really hope it happens one day. Or maybe I'll just work on getting a pilot's license...

I don't think there will be must interest is a flight from Deer Valley to RP.

Add the cost of the flight, taxi, and rental car and it doesn't make sense.
