RDU got Breeze and Sun Country to come as well as Avelo which now has RDU as a focus. They also have a pretty sizable F9 operation from a destinations standpoint and they have CUN and SJU on B6 now. They also brought in BahamasAir and Icelandair.
For MDW I might be biased because its my home airport but MDW also has made decent gains. Frontier and Allegiant both came, MDW also pulled in Avelo. I feel Breeze might attempt MDW but I see a buildable market at GYY that they could go for. I also expect Porter to expand MDW a good amount in the future. Oh and lets not forget all the new, and re-added routes WN has brought in during and after the pandemic.
I could also argue for any of the Florida airports especially MIA and TPA.

Although there have been some cuts as well including Aeromexico and:
DL ATL-PVG/LIS/BRU/ZRH for long haul
But DL ATL-EDI/NCE/ICN/TLV/CPT/OGG/ATH have been added.
As well as more flights to CDG/GRU.

I don't think you can credit ATL with much. Most of it is Delta's handywork partnering with Skyteam members.
HVN hasn't grown wildly, but it went from one city service to No service to what Avelo has done. The airport management helped them and worked with them and has taken a gamble to make it work.

HVN has grown wildly. Best past year, 1993 passenger totals was 132,000. Avelo has beat that number by hundreds of thousands.

You are absolutely correct. It has grown wildly. Reading it now it doesn't look right at all. I think what I was trying to say was that they haven't added as many airlines as some others had noted about different cities.
I live in Western Connecticut and when flying, people consider HPN, BDL, SWF, LGA, JFK. When I mention Avelo out of New Haven people look at me like I'm out of my mind because they didn't even know there was an airport in New Haven. I've actually never even seen the airport. lol
