Jetson Comment: TSA Expansion
Read Time:16 Second
It’s sad to loose flights! But, let’s hope the TSA expansion in the airport leads to more flights and the addition of new airlines in the fall. Why would they expand the TSA entrance area with flights spaced out so far apart?

In the press conference Andy Davis talked about relocating and expanding the TSA so passengers would be processed faster. The TSA also posted for more positions at Worcester airport. Why would you increase TSA workers and expand the TSA process for flights spread apart. That’s what I got out of the press conference and articles I read. I’m thinking in my opinion more flights are coming, not from JB maybe Delta, AA or another airline.
Jetson’s right, they did put a listing out for more TSA agents at ORH and Andy David mentioned that they want to expand TSA either by making the current area bigger or opening a second security checkpoint. Work still needs to be done however, we’re 2 weeks away from being halfway through 2023 and I haven’t seen any equipment on 29/11 starting the second half of rehabilitation. Yes, they’ve been working around the runway and other areas but what the grant was specifically for the work hasn’t started on yet. It is a pain though because 15/33 is only 5,000 feet which isn’t long enough for the A320 so the scheduling of the JetBlue flights could be the reason it hasn’t started yet.
There’s still a lot of questions that haven’t been answered yet that people are wondering. How come the rehabilitation work hasn’t fully started on the actual runway? Why have all the trees around the airport and especially at the area near runway 33 been taken down? If the Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando flights are all doing 80-90%+ in February and March, how’s parking going to look at the airport? What is the actual master plan of the airport? We hear it talked about all the time but nothing is actually posted on it. There’s just a lot of questions that haven’t been answered yet that hopefully do get answered sooner than later. I wish there was a way where every 3-6 months, residents and other people could go to ORH and be involved in a meeting with Massport and give input or ask questions, it would let a lot of people know more info and stuff like that.
