More Dash 8's

The fall schedule for SYR-New York LaGuardia flights, which are now operated by Colgan Air/US Airways Express Saab 340's, shows that Piedmont/US Airways Express Dash-8-100's will be taking over and this will mean an increase of 3 seats per flight as the Dash 8 seats 37 verses the 34 for the Saab. This route and a few others that Colgan operates are being shifted over to Piedmont due to a payment dispute between Colgan and US Airways. Also CO's SYR-Newark route is showing three Dash-8 flights with one of them being a 70-seat 400 and the other two being 37-seat 200's and a fourth E-145 flight. The SYR-Cleveland route is showing 3 E145's and one Dash-8-200. As far as capacity goes this will mean that both of CO's route out of SYR will have 190 seats each.
New Ithaca flights
Starting this fall, CO is due to start four daily Dash-8-200 flights from Ithaca to Newark which will mark a return for CO to ITH which it last served a few years ago. Also NW is due to upgrade the mourning ITH-DTW flight from a Saab-340 to a CRJ-200 which will be an increase of around 16 seats on that route with the other flight remaining a Saab.
