Read in the newspaper how great we are doing
We agree that Worcester Airport has come a long way, but think we should have much more than we have right now after 10 years under Massport and over $100 million of investments in infrastructure. Hopefully some of the airlines expressing an interest actually do bring more service to ORH.
Here is our wish list:
#Worcester airport officials say more airlines are expressing an interest in providing service there. They believe it is only a matter of time before more passenger air service is provided there. #worcpoli https://t.co/zfKAKY3Q1P— Nick Kotsopoulos (@NCKotsopoulos) October 22, 2019

Here is our wish list:
- Moxy Airways , Neeleman's new airline
- 2nd JetBlue Flight to NYC
- Gulf Coast direct destination
- Puerto Rico direct
- United to Chicago
- 2nd American Flight to Philadelphia
- 2nd Delta flight to Detroit, maybe even changing to Atlanta
5 flights per day is simply not enough considering the amount invested into ORH and the congestion at Logan. We need to do better.
- JetBlue to their hub at JFK
- American to their hub in Philly
- Delta to their hub in Detroit
- JetBlue to Fort Lauderdale
- JetBlue to Orlando
Saw this column the other day about Green Akron-Canton Airport, which will have "about 900,000 passengers will pass through the airport gates this year".
Think about that 900,000!!! We should be doing that easy right now.

Also, getting to that passenger count would probably require some enhancements to the existing roadways leading up to the airport. I'm not sure if Massport or the state would be willing to make such an investment knowing the passenger count could take a significant hit with a major downturn in the economy.It's nice to dream, but a more realistic goal would be to get back to the level of activity we had in 1989/90.
