Quoting MaverickM11 (Reply 2): Wow, I don't know what's more of a Hail Mary, B6 announcing ORH or Penair announcing BOS ISP. |
Quoting bomber996 (Reply 7): There goes any chance of B6 in MHT in the next couple of years... Well done... |

Quoting airbazar (Reply 14): ORH won't make a dime for B6, and will go away before you can spell "failure". As others pointed out, there must be an ulterior motive. |
Quoting globetrotter29 (Reply 20): Wow, their introductory fares are $56 one way. |

Service to the airline's 80th city will take flight on Thursday, November 7, 2013 with daily service to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida. |
Quoting chrisnh (Reply 16): But the difference between AA and B6 is that one airline cares and invests in Boston while the other doesn't. |
Quoting chrisnh (Reply 26): A small 'FAIL' by JetBlue: They flew an A320 to Worcester this morning instead of the E190 that will be used there. |
Quoting chrisnh (Reply 26): I would think that FAA web sites ought to make that information available under 'freedom of information' requests. And if not and all else fails, people will do 'spot checks' to keep everyone honest. No way you can claim 90% LF if only 45 people get on and off those E190s. |
Quoting NASBWI (Reply 17): I could be wrong, but wasn't SWF part of a 'package' with PANYNJ for B6 to gain more access to NYC airports? SWF used to see more flying, but is down to 1x daily FLL and 2x daily MCO flights, and I'm guessing that it doesn't make much money for them, yet it hasn't been axed...Perhaps the same will be said of ORH (should it be a reality): B6 may offer token service there, that'd be subsidized by MassPort. |
Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 29): And a mistake in the routes too. They would likely lose less money with 2 daily 190 service to JFK...and still capture the same traffic. |

Quoting Sligo (Reply 30): Better in the long run would be to open up the whole B6 network through JFK which would draw leisure and business travelers who find connecting in T5 to be far more pleasurable than driving back and forth to BOS. |
Quoting airbazar (Reply 31): driving to ORH won't create a huge time savings when compared to driving to BOS. That in a nutshell is why ORH has never been able to retain any significant air service. |

You cant fake passenger numbers like that due to the way taxes and things like PFCs get calculated. |
Quoting N766UA (Reply 36): No kidding. I'd much rather drive to MHT than ORH, too, unless I lived south/west of… idk, Framingham. Maybe MHT would siphon away too many Logan travelers. |

Quoting cloudboy (Reply 43): There is a huge catchment area for ORH. It is pretty dead central, and if prices are cheaper than flying out of BOS, then leisure travelers will give it a shot. Parking may not be free - but then again it very well might be, staffing is, shall we say, inconsistent at the collection booths even when they do have flights. |
Quoting Sligo (Reply 32): There is enough of a market there that would be willing to fly from ORH regularly if it had real, consistent service with sufficient frequency at a decent fare. Allegiant or Direct Air or even B6 2x to Florida will not reverse the leakage to BOS in any significant way and that's too bad. |
Quoting MaverickM11 (Reply 9): I would hope so. If they're already losing money in BOS the idea of flooding the neighborhood with capacity isn't a good one. |
Quoting bobnwa (Reply 46): Are you saying that B6 is currently losing money in BOS? |
