Jan Brueckner, an economics professor at UC Irvine and aviation expert, said Sacramento
has a tough case to make for major international nonstop service... “My guess is that
Sacramento can’t support an Asian flight, given that San Francisco is so close,” Brueckner
said, noting the high frequency of scheduled flights at the Northern California hub.
But he added, “They can gamble because airplanes are highly mobile things. All you
need is a ticket counter and gate. It’s easy to pull out.”
