Comment Sums It Up
It’s obvious that Massport, American, Delta, and Jet Blue and all the other airlines, couldn’t care any less about ORH or after all this time they would have added flights/more flights.

I think this is somewhat true but not 100%. The thing is you need data to show that flights are in high demand and people will use them. However, the American and delta flights don’t prove that and the JetBlue to NYC flights were starting to prove it but still never reached above 70% in flight loads for the month. The Florida flights do prove that leisure destinations are in demand up there but JetBlue is going through a complete re work right now and is cutting more flights than expanding and they’ll be more flight cuts soon since they’re retiring more E190s and getting the A220s (NYC isn’t having any E190 flights in the middle of next year).
I don’t know if it was for publicity or not but the Boston globe article stated that they’re trying to get another flight to NYC and to Puerto Rico. But an airline is going to look at past data for the airport and see that the previous data is not good. American probably doesn’t want to move the location of their flight again for the fourth time and delta who knows. American has been expanding out of LaGuardia and should be the one flying out of there and delta would be better off flying out of another airport. I’d still love Atlanta but who knows how much of a stretch that would be. Bradley has 5 flights a day to and from it with A321s or 757s, Worcester could do well with it.
Honestly, Delta and American could swap destinations. Delta is the king at JFK, if we have service to JFK it should be on Delta. I would love to see us with a morning JFK and an afternoon flight to LGA. American’s focus is now LGA, why are we stuck with JFK? I wonder if they are considering changing.
It’s not rocket science.
Delta… ATL
American… CLT or PHL
Make them early AM so noone misses a good connection. Advertise the hell out of them. These are hubs that will open up to ANY city in the US and the Caribbean.
JetBlue does well with the point to point, could never get above 70 LF even with the early AM departure.
