JetBlue is struggling. Don’t be surprised if they cut back service at ORH. They’re never expanding here anyways. Massport has really blown it up there. 14 years and all we have are 4 measly flights at the moment. I don’t see ORH becoming a cargo airport either. The surrounding roadways couldn’t handle the increased truck traffic and as useless as much of our city council is, I think they would push back. It’s amazing what Massport has done at Logan, although that new Terminal E is god awful looking, and at the same time how badly they’ve flubbed things at ORH. They never really marketed the airport properly and now ORH is stuck in neutral and close to going in reverse. At the rate things are going, Breeze and/or Avelo will be at every airport in New England except for ORH. For some reason I feel like Breeze will be at Logan and not ORH sometime in the future. Maybe that’s just me being pessimistic because of how lousy things have been at ORH. I could totally see Breeze doing seasonal flights to one or more of the Cape Cod airports also. As for Avelo, and I’m being totally pessimistic again, I could see them adding flights out of Westover or even New Bedford. I say Westover because they have been so successful in Connecticut that they could tap into that Northern part of Connecticut plus Springfield/Western Mass. I would hope that I’m wrong with my ridiculous predictions but I feel that if Avelo or Breeze were going to come to ORH it would have happened by now. Not sure where things go from here but it’s discouraging to see literally every other airport around us adding service while ORH is stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire.
Even though this has been planned for a while and scheduled like this, currently JB schedule has the MCO flight for 5x a week in September and a majority of October and FLL flight 4x a week (no flights Tuesday and Wednesday + Saturday for FLL only). If it stays that way, I’d consider that a win for the fall considering how much of a crap show it is for them and it’s always this way every year it seems like.
JB is going to pay there pilots to stay home and not fly. Wow the previous CEO did a great job! The current CEO sucks. The stock is currently trading at $5.92. JB had to pay Spirit $ 400 million because the deal fell apart.
