Domino's Australia recently announced that it would be offering vegan cheese, as well as three special vegan topping combos at over 600 locations in Australia. But the new vegan menu has been so popular that the company has been running out of vegan cheese…
The decision to add vegan cheese to Domino's pizza menu in Australia followed on from a survey on the company's Facebook page posted late last year to test demand across the country.
Talking about the decision to offer vegan options, Domino's Australia and New Zealand CEO Nick Knight said:
"We were blown away by the response to the survey and for this product in general … At Domino's we pride ourselves on our "people-powered pizza" mantra and listen to what our customers want."
He acknowledged that the "popularity of, and demand for, vegan products has increased considerably over the years."
High demand
Earlier this month, the pizza chain debuted The Vegan Avocado Veg, The Vegan Margherita, and The Vegan Spicy Trio, and a Vegan-friendly Garlic Bread to go with them on their menu. And hungry vegans have been going crazy for the new vegan offerings, so much so that Domino's has reported that is has been running out of vegan cheese, made by US company Follow Your Heart, in stores since the launch last week.
According to CEO Nick Knight, customers should check in advance with local stores to make sure they have the vegan option in stock to avoid disappointment. He added that the company is working to bring in more supplies;
"We knew the response was going to be big after the demand we saw for the product on social media, but we had no idea it was going to be this big.
"We're excited that customers love this product as much as we do and that we have been able to source a cheese alternative that vegan customers have given their tick of approval on."
Follow Your Heart
Domino's has confirmed to Plant Based News that Follow Your Heart's vegan cheese will be added as a permanent menu item once they are able to get more back in stock.
Speaking about the new permanent menu addition Knight said: "Now it's all about not disappointing and getting more vegan cheese stock into stores as soon as possible and rest assured that when it's here, it's set to remain on the menu. When we do get vegan cheese back into all of our stores, it will be here for good."
Pizza Express, Zizzi, and Pizza Hut already offer vegan cheese in their restaurants across the UK, but so far, no national chain offers it for delivery (although vegan pizzas are available to purchase for home delivery through Deliveroo).
Let Domino's know we want it to add vegan cheese pizza to its UK menu by sending the company a tweet.

Todd Andrlik, a marketing and PR guy known to most as Todd And and creator of the Power 150 – top marketing blogs, announced today that AdvertisingAge will be taking over his little creation and plans to integrate it into their coverage of marketing and media.
I think it's a tribute to some hard work on Todd's part to have created something AdAge thought worthy of partnering with and a further sign that blogging has truly become too important for mainstream media and advertisers to ignore.
From Jonas Bloom, editor of Advertising Age
The fact we'll now also be ranking the media and marketing blogs says a lot about how important that community has become in a very short time.

A client-centric company is one that works to build a lasting relationship with its customers by providing an exemplary experience both before AND after the sale.
Customer-centric companies don't believe the sale ends as soon as you sign. We know that we are ALWAYS competing for your business. And we're grateful you chose us over all the competition out there. We know that, without you, we wouldn't exist. Client-centric businesses like Phoenix Online Media do everything they can to keep you happy and help your business reach its goals.
What Does it Mean to Focus on the Sale?
We're willing to bet this has happened to you:
A company reaches out to you – or maybe you called them. They may be selling a service, like digital marketing, but it could also be a physical product. In either scenario, before you sign on the dotted line, they're your best friend. Every call is returned in a matter of hours – or even minutes. There's no question they can't answer, no guarantee they won't make. You need X? Heck yeah, we can do X! And we'll throw in Y and Z, too.
Then, you sign the contract. Almost immediately, things change. Nobody picks up when you call. A lot of times, you have to call two or three times before you get a call back. When something goes wrong – or even just needs a bit of tweaking – you can't get the time of day.
If this sounds familiar, then you know what it's like to do business with a company that focuses on the sale, not the relationship.
Understanding the Client-Centric Philosophy
It's important to understand that being customer-centric is more than the latest buzzword (especially since it isn't really a new idea). Instead, the entire culture of the company centers around the client. We want you to think of us as a partner, not just another vendor.
Key tenets of the client-centric philosophy include:
- Knowing your business inside and out
- Understanding your needs
- Satisfying your needs
- Measuring our success in meeting your needs
- Consistently delivering on our promises
- Receiving regular feedback so we continuously improve
At the end of the day, our top goal is creating a great experience for you. And we'll do whatever we have to do to make that happen.
Client-Centric Is Win-Win
So far, this almost sounds like we think we're doing you a favor by being client-centric.
We don't.
We know that what's good for you is good for us. Satisfied customers are loyal customers. When we continually meet your needs, we know that you're more likely to stick around. What's more, you're more likely to spread the word, gaining us new clients in the process.
It's also a well-known fact that it's cheaper to keep a client than it is to find a new one. A good analogy is the cost to recruit, onboard, and train new employees. According to "Harvard Business Review," it takes about a year before a new employee becomes productive.
Bringing on new clients requires that same type of energy. During your first few months with POM, our team comes together to complete an enormous array of tasks. It may not take a year, but it's a good 90 days before we see a return on our "new customer investment." Helping existing clients win new business is a much more productive use of time and energy.
Client-Centric Is More Important than Ever
In the digital age, focusing on the client takes on a whole new level of importance. Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms, it's never been easier for unhappy customers to share their grievances.
Remember the United Airlines debacle? The airline overbooked a flight and then made things much worse when Security forcibly dragged a passenger from his seat. Other passengers recorded the incident and posted the videos all over the Internet. "Forbes" named it the biggest travel story of 2017. Two years later and the airline still hasn't completely recovered from that PR nightmare.
This is also an example of why client-centric has to be part of your company's culture, not just a whim management decides to take for a test drive. We're not saying that employees of customer-first companies don't make mistakes. (We do.) But, when creating an amazing customer experience is the driving force of your business, that type of mistake is much less likely.
How Does Client-Centric Benefit You?
On an individual level, you already know what customer-centric feels like. Think of your favorite restaurants and stores. How did they earn that status? By never taking your business for granted. Through their every action, these companies demonstrate that they know you could eat or shop somewhere else. They're grateful that you choose to spend your hard-earned money with them.
You should get the same feeling from your search engine optimization company.
When you choose a customer-centric company to handle your SEO needs, your business gets a true partner. Every day, the team at Phoenix Online Media is grateful that our amazing clients let us do work that we enjoy and believe in. And we know that if you aren't successful, we aren't successful. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help grow your business.

Black Meteors and C.F Esperança de Lagos defender Edward Sarpong has opened up on his penalty miss against South Africa at the 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The Black Meteors were a kick away from booking a place at the postponed Olympic Games. Edward Sarpong stepped up to take the decisive kick, but he could only sky his effort.
Ghana eventually lost the penalties 6-5 and failed to qualify for the 2020 Olympics which has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The full back in an interview with Saddick Adams popularly known as Sports Obama opened up on the incident.
"I was originally not one of the players selected to take the penalty against South Africa, but after the first five had taken, no player was willing to take"
"Coach [Ibrahim Tanko] was calling some players to step up and kick but they all refused.
"That is why I stepped up for my country. I think that if I had not played the penalty, the referee would've ended the match as some point because nobody was willing to play".

Ubisoft is following in Epic Games' footsteps by offering players an in-game reward if they enable 2-Step Verification, sometimes called 2-Factor Authentication or 2FA, on their Ubisoft accounts.
The developer is offering Rainbow Six Siege players an exclusive skin for enabling the Google Authenticator-powered security feature.
The move is similar to something announced by Fortnite dev Epic Games last week that delivers a dance emote to players that sign up for 2-Step Verification on their Epic Games accounts.
After setting up 2-Step Verification on their Ubisoft account, players will be prompted to enter a limited-time code displayed by the Google Authenticator smartphone app every time they log in, theoretically thwarting any would-be account thieves in the process.
This gentle push toward a more secure Ubisoft account also comes shortly after the developer announced via Rainbow Six Siege's patch notes that enabling 2-Step Verification will soon be required for players to compete in ranked matches.

On Sunday, Rep. Ro Khanna urged a massive increase in funding for the Defense Production Act. "President Trump should be using the DPA to ensure we have enough ventilators and other medical equipment to deal with this crisis," said Khanna, a Democrat from California, in a statement to The Intercept. "This will take a war time-like response. Congress should appropriate up to $75 billion for this purpose." He added, "We need to give the President the funds to get ventilators and masks in bulk to meet the needs of our time."
The statement from Khanna became the first concrete figure applied to the debate over the Defense Production Act, with demand for personal protective equipment and ventilators threatening to significantly exacerbate the coronavirus crisis. The legislation gives the president broad powers over supply chains, with the power to force manufacturers to address the nation's pressing needs at prices negotiated using the powers of the federal government. But the act, as written, is modest, applying caps of $50 million to each individual contract and a fund of $750 million. (The $50 million cap can be waved by the president in an emergency.)
Even so, Trump has resisted using the legislation. "We're a country not based on nationalizing our business. Call a person over in Venezuela," Trump told reporters during a press conference on Sunday. "How did nationalization of their businesses work out? Not too well."
"This will take a war time-like response. Congress should appropriate up to $75 billion for this purpose."
Trump's concerns have been echoed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's spokesperson John Murphy, who told the New York Times, "The Defense Production Act was designed for defense industry products with a single supplier, often with purely domestic production chains, and invoking it may do more harm than good in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment."
Lack of access to personal protective equipment has the potential to magnify the scale of the Covid-19 crisis, say health care workers, destabilizing hospitals when demand is highest.
"Clearly, the nation's health facilities are still not ready and are in even worse shape than before in some respects to handle COVID-19," said Bonnie Castillo, a registered nurse and executive director of National Nurses United, in a press release. "We need to act now and act fast." Recent figures indicate that 9 percent of Italy's total Covid-19 cases are health care workers, contributing to the breakdown of the hospital system in the north of the country.
The federal government's own estimates indicate that we will need, at minimum, 3.5 billion N95 masks, for a cost of $7 billion. Given how little we know about how Covid-19 is spread, we could be in a position where millions of health care workers need access to their own powered air purifying respirators, the next step up in protection. At $1,800 per, the cost could run to over $50 billion. Finally, ventilators cost between $25,000 to $50,000 each. The American Hospital Association has estimated that we need 790,000 additional ventilators, which could cost over $40 billion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and many others have demanded that Trump begin to use the act as a cornerstone of the government's response. But as a $1.8 trillion bipartisan coronavirus stimulus bill races toward passage, it is unclear if the legislation will include any firm appropriations for the Defense Production Act. There is a cap of $750 million on the Defense Production Act fund, and orders above $50 million must be approved by Congress. However, Henry Connelly, a spokesperson for Pelosi, said, "The president can waive [the $50 million] requirement in a national emergency."
Evan Hollander, a spokesperson for the Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, said, "The Appropriations Committee is working on including language and funding in a phase-three bill to support the invocation of the Defense Production Act and ensure that needed medical supplies can be produced and distributed to communities across the country." Hollander did not answer questions about exactly how much money was being considered or whether there would be purchase orders for essential supplies in the stimulus.
Likewise, Connelly said, "Democrats are looking at the full spectrum of means to incentivize production and increase and expedite the delivery of essential medical supplies and protective equipment in this next bill." Connelly, too, declined to provide details about the scale that Pelosi would prefer to address the problem.
It is unclear what the scale of funds to be appropriated for essential medical supplies actually is, despite the obvious need. Some texts of the bill indicate a $75 billion block grant for hospitals — which Democrats are seeking to increase — but hospitals purchasing the supplies piecemeal would lead to massive price increases. While better than hospital-by-hospital purchases, the the current $50 million cap on the size of orders in the act gives away substantial bargaining power by the federal government, given that the supplies needed run into the billions of dollars.
"Congress should compel Trump to waive the cap and compel him to get the supplies we need," said Dean Baker, a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "He doesn't want to do it because companies will make more money if they gouge prices than if the government is taking over. You're going to produce these masks or respirators and will pay you the cost plus 10 percent — that's less money for them. There's no reason why Congress can't put the orders in the legislation."
Update: March 24, 2020
On Tuesday, House Democrats added $3 billion in funding for the Defense Production Act in their version of the coronavirus stimulus bill.

Honk if this is what the Black Lives Matter protest/riots look like in your town as well. Actually, don't honk. In fact, why are you reading this in the first place if you're driving around? You should be more careful! You could run over some innocent protester!
Anyway, like the meme says, this is definitely a picture of 2020 right here — a white BLM jihadi being arrested by a heroic black police officer.
One thing that says a lot about the current craziness is the remarkable number of children of elected Democrats who have been arrested for participating in riots and looting or have otherwise shown support for these criminal actions. Sen. Tim Kaine – Hillary Clinton's running mate – was so proud of his son who got arrested throwing smoke bombs and other fireworks inside the Minnesota state house.
Minnesota Governor's daughter tweeted National Guard troop locations – twice – so protesters could go loot somewhere else. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and his son – a Minneapolis city council member – have both tweeted support for Antifa.
And pothead Bill De Blasio who moonlights as the mayor of New York said he was proud of his dingbat daughter who was arrested for rioting. That's 2020 for you!

Evergreen Lake is a true gift to the community. It is a beautiful mountain lake created by damming Bear Creek in 1927. This lake sits at an altitude of 7200 ft. It is used year round as a recreation area. In the winter one has a choice of ice fishing, ice skating or ice hockey and on New Year's Day the Polar Bear Plunge benefitting local charities is a popular event. In the summer many enjoy the paddle boats, canoes , kayaks, sailboats, or paddle boards. Fishing is very popular in the summer whether it is by fly or lure. Year round it is popular for birdwatching and hiking. Just driving by the lake on the way to an event is a pleasure.
This image from the south shore captures the paddle boards that are waiting for their paddlers. It is a wonderful lake to enjoy a family outing. Kayaking on the lake is an activity my family enjoys. It is fun to take guests for a ride on the beautiful waters and soak in the beautiful mountain scenery.
I am grateful to live in a community that values its resources and provides such pleasures for its citizens.
"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." ~Henry David Thoreau

This e-bike ad has been banned in France – let's talk about why

E-bikes are the future. That's what the bike industry thinks, that's what a bunch of new cyclists think, and that's what sustainable transportation advocates think.
But not everyone thinks that way, as a spat between e-bike brand VanMoof and the French advertising regulatory body has proven.
At the centre of this stoush is a slick TV commercial by VanMoof, a Dutch urban bicycle brand best known for creating that bike with the top tube that looks like that. In the ad, a glossy black sports car has images of pollution, traffic jams and emergency vehicles projected onto it, before melting into a pile of black goo from which a VanMoof e-bike emerges to the slogan 'time to ride the future'.
It's pretty visually striking. It also does a succinct job of boiling down many of the concerns people have about over-reliance on automobiles in light of the, you know, climate emergency that we may or may not* be going through globally (*definitely are).
So it's a little surprising to learn that the ad has been banned from French television because it "creates a climate of fear" around cars.
So what's really going on here? Let's break this down.
The players
VanMoof: The quirky Dutch brand launched in 2009 with an analogue town bike with integrated lights and lock, and has since had an electric renaissance. Their second-generation e-bikes, the S3 and X3, are masterpieces of integration at a newly competitive price. They still look like VanMoofs, which is to say, you will either find them to have an alluring whimsy or be quite repulsive. There really is no in-between.
Autorité de régulation professionnelle de la publicité (ARPP): The French regulatory body in charge of advertising standards, which "represents advertisers, agencies and the media". Remember that first one.
French automotive industry (behind the scenes, presumably applying substantial pressure onto the ARPP): Under the banners of Peugeot, Citroën and Renault, the French automotive industry has a lengthy, nationally symbolic history and is a major employer in France. Due to the pressures of COVID-19, it is currently being absolutely walloped.
Sales of French-built cars reportedly dropped 50% in May, leading the French government to pledge €8 billion to prop up the ailing industry. If I was editorialising, I'd say that French cars have a long and storied reputation of breaking in eccentric ways – but I'm not, so I won't.
The ad
As previously mentioned, VanMoof's commercial is a slick piece of advertising (you can see it at the top of this post). Through its 45 seconds, viewers are treated to artful slow pans of a brand-agnostic vehicle soundtracked by a cover of Jackie Lomax's 'New Day', in loving homage/slavish imitation of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop'.
The ad was reportedly favourably received by Dutch and German television audiences – which is notable, because Germany has an automotive industry worth €400 billion annually (albeit with a stronger international reputation).
However, when VanMoof's TV spot jumped borders to French screens – you know, the same 'France' that is famously famous for bicycle things – it was promptly squashed by the ARPP.
VanMoof's ad is, the brand notes, one of the first TV commercials for a bike to be screened in France. It is also the first to be banned. Pioneering stuff!
The complaint
In the ARPP's determination, VanMoof's ad is "unbalanced and [discredits] the entire car sector. The images of factories/chimneys and an accident create a climate of fear," the body said in a letter sent to VanMoof.
Which is a little bit bullshit at a passing glance, but becomes spectacularly so when you learn a bit more about the ARPP.
As VanMoof points out, 10% of the fabulously lucrative advertising spend that the ARPP regulates comes from the automotive sector. The ARPP itself, meanwhile, is funded by the private sector, presumably leading to some overlap of the two circles of that particular Venn diagram.
Finally, to connect some dots for you, there is the little fact that the ARPP has in the past been highlighted for its lack of independence by NGOs including Greenpeace.
"It's puzzling that car companies are allowed to gloss over their environmental problems, but when someone challenges that situation it gets censored," VanMoof co-founder Ties Carlier said.
ARPP president Stéphane Martin responded to VanMoof's opposition with a feisty missive to French news channel, FranceInfo.
"It's a classic response to question our independence and get media attention by shouting 'censorship'," Martin said, presumably while idly twirling a Peugeot keyring around his finger. "We cannot afford to put entire sectors in a bad light. That is an important precondition for fair competition. In some areas, that commercial goes too far, with images that are unnecessary, such as the smoke from factory chimneys, which have nothing to do with the car industry."
In unrelated news: the French car industry is a hefty contributor to the country's greenhouse gas emissions in ways that include (but are not limited to) smoke from factory chimneys. The millions of vehicles the sector produces are used in 81% of French domestic journeys and 85% of freight, for a total of a third of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, with attempts to curb them becoming increasingly politicised and sometimes abandoned entirely.
Who's playing who?
I get it. Hundreds of thousands of people – eight percent of all of those working in France – are employed by French automotive manufacturers. Those people vote, and hold a certain political heft. Any government has an interest in keeping industries afloat, especially in These Troubling Times. And a body regulating advertising has to be funded somehow, even if it sometimes totally looks like it's in the pocket of the industries that it's supposed to be adjudicating on.
For VanMoof's part, the brand has a thriving e-bike business based on a bike that is more or less the visual equivalent of a Citroën DS, and it has done a pretty stunning job of getting the ARPP's finding (and in turn, its ad) in front of millions of potential purchasers. And by covering this spicy squabble, I guess we're playing into that.
But while the Dutch brand is indeed "getting media attention by shouting 'censorship'", it's only doing that because it is actually being censored by a body that's subject to financial coercion from the automotive industry, in a country that's flinging billions of euros at car companies making quirky vehicles that are belching greenhouse gases into the atmosphere of a dying planet (allegedly, blah blah blah).
On balance, I think where we're at is this:
Bikes are great. E-bikes are the future, and can have a transformative role in getting people out of cars and into a happier, healthier tomorrow. Buy a VanMoof, or don't, but for whatever it's worth, it seems increasingly clear that bikes are going to be on the right side of history here.

By Tanya Fox, Contributor.
The Patriots meet another 2-0 AFC East team this week when they head to Buffalo to take on the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium this Sunday. If there were ever a game that is a lock, this is it. The Patriots have not lost to the Bills since September 7, 2003, when they were shellacked 31-0 in Week 1 of the season. As you may recall, they went on to win the Super Bowl that year and the Bills continue to slip slowly yet deeply into obscurity and irrelevancy.
It would be easy to sit here and say something to the effect that this Bills team is different, with a healthy Ryan Fitzpatrick, dynamic if unpredictable wide receiver Stevie Johnson and the reliable running game of Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller. I could reminisce on the incredible comeback they had last week against the Raiders in which they scored five times in the second half to overcome a 21-3 halftime deficit, topping it off with a perfectly executed 4th and 1 touchdown pass to David Nelson.
I could definitely point out that their rush defense hasn't looked too shabby either. They held the explosive Darren McFadden to just 72 rushing yards last week, and kept Jamaal Charles to 54 yards the week before in their thrashing of the Kansas City Chiefs. Keeping two of the NFL's elite rushers to 126 combined yards is pretty good, especially for a team that hasn't had a .500 season since 2004, and last saw the playoffs in 1999. Things have been rough for the Bills, and the future is finally looking a little bright for them.
All of that is a great sign for the future of the Buffalo offense, now that they have begun to build a core that can have longevity and grow in a system. Despite all of this, they are going to lose to the Patriots in Week 3. Tom Brady is 17-1 against the Bills in his career, with the Patriots outscoring them 500-228 in those games. He's offensively on fire, continuing the regular season dominance that made him last year's unanimous league MVP. In his two best statistical years, 2007 and 2010, he put up 94 point and 72 points respectively on the Buffalo Bills in their two usual regular season meetings.
Defensively, the Patriots still have their work cut out for them. As do the Bills. The Bills defense against the rush will help them force Brady to go through the air, but is that really even an advantage for them at this point? The Buffalo secondary can't win won matchup with any of the Patriots receivers, let alone try to matchup with the massive Rob Gronkowski. The offense will obviously be working around the injury to Aaron Hernandez that will keep him out of the game this week, but even without the glorious two tight-end sets, an offense with Tom Brady at the helm is truly always at an advantage.
With that said, here are a couple things to watch in this weeks' game against the Bills.
Who Brady looks to in the red zone without Hernandez
Although Gronkowski is the more targeted end zone player, Hernandez already has two touchdowns on 14 receptions and 165 yards in 2011. The kind of coverage that those two demand when they are on the field together almost always opens things up for a receiver, which is part of the reason why Wes Welker and Deion Branch have had the chance to be so impactful so far this season. History tells us that Brady will always find other targets if one is taken away, so who will it be this week?
My money is on Danny Woodhead having a big day. They'll have him on the field a lot, because the Bills have the ability to stop BenJarvus Green-Ellis as mostly first and second down rusher. Woodhead can fit in to a variety of looks from screens to play action, especially if Brady continues to work in the no-huddle as much as he has been.
The Patriots secondary
This has surprisingly been the weak link so far in the defense, and it looks like they may in some more trouble this week with the questionable status of Pat Chung. Chung had surgery on thumb earlier in the week, and has not been practicing. There are already depth issues at safety and Chung who has 14 tackles and a sack this year will absolutely be missed if he can't play. Last year's rookie sensation Devin McCourty has had a little bit of a sophomore slump so far this year, but has also shown a lot of good decision making and read his coverage well against great offenses like San Diego last week.
McCourty and Leigh Bodden have still not played to their potential, and somewhere along the line they are going to need to step up for their defense to continue growing and being more successful. If they can get themselves into the turnover battle, the Patriots have a chance to again have the best turnover ratio in the league. Stevie Johnson is no slob either, so he can certainly be a helpful test for these guys this Sunday.

Bonjour! RDU Has A New Non-Stop Flight To Paris
The new non-stop Delta Air Lines flight to Paris, France from Raleigh-Durham International Airport took off without a hitch Thursday night.
Community and business leaders celebrated along with Delta staff. They say the Paris flight is a sign North Carolina's economy has rebounded since the recession, and is growing.
The Delta Air Lines, RDU, Paris party consumed at least four gates. There were balloons, sweets from Cary's La Farm Bakery and lots of pictures. But the real action was at gate C-15 as passengers prepared to board their flight to Paris.
"Just a few quick reminders that you need to know before boarding your flight to Paris, everyone will need their passports out and open to the picture page," said Delta staff, followed by a message in French.
The Boeing 757-200 holds 164 passengers.
"By the way there's still four more seats left for sale if anyone wants to go!" said Victoria Forbes-Roberts during the celebratory kick-off.
Victoria Forbes-Roberts is the Vice President of Pricing and Revenue Management at Delta Air Lines. She says when Delta tried to bring a non-stop Paris flight to RDU in 2008, the Recession got in the way. Forbes-Roberts says the region has grown since then and demand is high.
"When we were studying where the opportunities were for Delta, Raleigh-Durham showed as the top corporate opportunity for service to Europe that we weren't already serving non-stop," said Forbes-Roberts.
Another reason Delta says it favored the Triangle region for the Paris flight is because of all the community and business support.
Bob Geolas is President and CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation. He helped bring together the cities of Raleigh and Durham and several business leaders to raise a quick $1.1 million in support of the flight, which he says is important to Research Triangle Park.
"We have partners around the world, clients around the world, companies around the world and just good old fashioned people who want to travel to Paris and want to travel to Raleigh Durham," said Geolas.
The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority came up with another $1.25 million in fee waivers, plus $500,000 for marketing the flight.
Michael Landguth is President and CEO of the authority. He says Delta is putting a lot on the line.
"To put that aircraft in here, they've got about $75 million at risk for one year of flight. They've got a significant investment," said Landguth.
"We've got a small piece of what we call risk mitigation, but it's our way of telling Delta, we're committed to make this successful for you and by doing that it makes us successful in our community because we can really compete on a global economy by having connectivity out of RDU."
Many of the travelers on this Paris flight are likely business travelers. But their final destination is not Paris.
Gil Przybylaski works for Comfort Control and is on his way to Oslo, Norway.
"Usually when we fly to Europe, I have to go either to Dulles or New York and this is convenient, just to come here from Cary," said Przybylaski.
And then there were travelers just trying to get home to see family, like Catherine Skura, she lives in Moore County and goes to France every year.
"I love it. I don't have to fly through Toronto or through Atlanta before finally getting to Charles de Gaulle," said Skura. "And at Charles de Gaulle, my family is actually in the same department, so they only have an hour drive to come and pick me up. So I really appreciate, I hope it makes it."
A lot of people hope this flight makes it. Before leaving RDU, firefighters sprayed the Delta plane with an arch of water, a "Water Cannon Salute." It's common for inaugural flights.
American Airlines used to fly a non-stop from RDU to Paris some 20 years ago. But that ended, and turned into the daily flight to London that's still leaves like clock-work, seven days a week.
So that's two, daily, trans-Atlantic non-stop flights and four international flights total, if you include Toronto and Cancun. Not bad for an airport this size.
