Also any new airline that comes in, will add non-stop to Orlando right away, a void that JetBlue left and will miss out if they do not have this flight reinstated. Spirit/Frontier will add a lot of pressure on the other airlines at ORH and it will only help the airport and Central Mass area.
It's good they added a second platform to Union Station to accommodate more trains.
Perhaps Frontier/Spirit sees Orlando as an opening to be the next airline to make it work.

If Massport could get someone in here and focus on leisure destinations I think it would be wildly successful. As it is, there is almost zero marketing of Worcester Airport so it's set up to fail as is. I know they say they are on social media, etc. but there is a disconnect somewhere. I knew nothing of the free parking being offered at the airport until I read it on this blog and I live a little over 3 miles from the airport and drive by it multiple times a week. My neighbors also just flew to Fort Lauderdale and I was surprised to find out they were flying out of Boston. They had no idea they could get a nonstop flight a little over 3 miles from their house. Obviously whatever little marketing of the airport they are doing isn't working when people who live close by don't have a clue of what is offered there. I mentioned this previously but they have completely squandered a great marketing opportunity with the free parking that is being offered.
