Boston-Maine Airways' introduction of service between Hanscom Field in Bedford and Baltimore-Washington International Airport will begin Tuesday, two weeks later than expected.


It took longer than anticipated to make arrangements for space ``at the very busy" Baltimore-Washington airport, said David Fink, chief executive of the Portsmouth, N.H.-based regional carrier, which this month began offering service from Hanscom Field to Elmira-Corning Regional Airport in upstate New York. Boston-Maine, which does business as Pan Am Clipper Connection, will have two flights a day, five days a week, between Bedford and Baltimore-Washington via Trenton, N.J.

The airline has been serving Trenton from Bedford since March 2004. Flights will depart Bedford at 8:45 a.m. Monday through Friday, Boston-Maine spokeswoman Stacy Beck said. They will arrive in Trenton at 10:15 a.m. and then take off for Baltimore-Washington at 11:10 a.m., arriving an hour later. A return flight will leave Baltimore-Washington at 1:30 p.m. each weekday, getting back to Bedford at 3 p.m.

An introductory fare is as low as $99 each way, Beck said. Separately, demand for the airline's Bedford-to-Elmira service ``has been good," Beck said, without elaborating.
