Idea

I have been worrying about the summer flights all year with Allegiant (check the blog and you will see). Although I was confident that we would fill the flights during the peak months, I was concerned about the off months. People in this area have alot of options throughout New England.

Right now Portsmouth may not be too happy with us, but these are the type of airports that we need to build alliances. The needs of the catchment area in Portsmouth are identical to the needs of the ORH catchment area.

Here is my idea, why don't we go to Allegiant and work with them to fill the two flights per week during the peak months out of Portsmouth?? Check out the map to the right, it appears to me that ORH is right in the flight path so the additional costs to stop at ORH should not be to high. If the booking get too high, Allegiant can always add a flight? It is worth a try.
