Airlines Servicing Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport

    As Dogwood Ceramic Supply has grown so has Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport.  One must wonder if Dogwood Ceramic Supply is responsible for the growth of the Gulfport-Biloxi Airport or visa-versa?  Seriously, the growth of the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport has assisted Dogwood Ceramic Supply grow our ceramic distribution business by allowing all of our domestic customers to visit The Showroom on a regular basis to keep up with new products and for technical support.
    As the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport has grown and added direct flights to the major international airline hubs, the number of international ceramic and pottery customers served by Dogwood Ceramic Supply has also grown.  While it is not practical to transport clay and glazes and other ceramic products via air transportation, visiting Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Showroom can be really beneficial to understand the wide range of ceramic and pottery products that we routinely supply.

Additional Airplane Information:

Boeing 717, based on the classic DC-9 airframe and launched as the McDonnell Douglas MD-95 in 1995, the short range jet was renamed the Boeing 717 after McDonnell Douglas and Boeing merged in the 1997.  The Boeing 717 was last produced in 2006.  The Boeing 717 serves short to medium routes.

Boeing 737 family of airplanes were designed by Boeing to compete against McDonnell Douglas and Airbus products in the highly competitive short to medium range markets.  The Boeing 737 has done more than compete.  The Boeing 737 is the best selling airplane with the world with over 6,000 airplanes based upon the 737 design having been sold by Boeing.

McDonnell Douglas MD-88 was introduced by McDonnell Douglas in the 1980's as part of the MD-80 series of planes to replace the venerable DC-9 and compete against the Boeing 737.  Boeing continued the MD-88 program for a few years after Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas.

Bombardier, a Canadian company that owns the Learjet and de Havilland brands of small planes, produces a number of short to medium range jets typically holding 40 to 90 passengers.  Bombardier acquired Canadair in 1986 and uses the Canadair name on their passenger jets.  The Bombardier CRJ series of planes are modern designed jet airplanes that can readily compete with the Boeing 737 family of planes in terms of range, cruising speeds and ceiling limits. 

Embraer is currently the third largest producer of commercial airplanes being Boeing and Airbus.  Embraer produces a number of short to medium range jets, typically holding 40 to over 120 passengers.  Like Bombardier's Canadair jets, the Embraer jets can readily compete with the Boeing 737 family of planes in terms of range, cruising speeds and ceiling limits.

Please note:  NONE of the commercial airlines servicing the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport use prop or turbo-prop aircraft.

Additional note:  Dogwood Ceramic Supply customers that may be flying should consult the appropriate airlines for weight and size limits for carry-on and checked luggage.  Different standards may apply to different planes or for international flights.
