Prospective Airlines

In the different forms of media that have reported on the progress of Worcester Airport's revitalization, they have mentioned that the city is in talks with several airlines. I do not understand why the public is not "allowed" to know which carriers these are.

If the city and the airline/s announced their relationship, then the public could voice their opinion and support for the potential service that the airline is considering. Allegiant did this. On August 3, 2005 an article entitled, "Allegiant Air shows interest in Worcester: Vegas based low-fare carrrier seeks northeast connection," ran in the Telegram. Immediately there was a "good buzz" about the prospect of the city's vacant airport landing a new, profitable, low-fare, and growing airline.

I would also really like to know what 6 airlines that the IMG report is recommending that the city persue. The city paid $100,000 for this study and should tell the public which airlines it intends to look at. The reason behind this would be (for example) to allow the public to send e-mails to the executives at these airlines praising the airport and voice their opinions in the prospect of their airline coming to ORH.

I have said this before, and I will say it again: Allegiant Air is a great start, but that is all it is. The airport will not survive unless the we land more service in the near future.
