JetBlue to Gary?

Recently JetBlue has decided to fly to Chicago (O'Hare), not they are looking at Gary... Still do not see why we could not get two of the 10 JFK Shuttles out of Logan. Here is the story:

A yellow light on JetBlue Airways' plan for more flights at O' Hare International Airport could result in some green for Gary/Chicago International Airport.On Wednesday, airport officials in Gary renewed their vows to pursue the low-cost passenger carrier as they discussed last week's decision by the Federal Aviation Administration to allow JetBlue to fly to or from O'Hare International Airport four times per day.

JetBlue wanted eight flights per day at O'Hare and could seek other airports to accommodate its desire for four additional daily flights from the Chicago market. In recent years, the New York-based airline has shown interest in the Gary airport. That interest has been reciprocated and was reiterated at Wednesday's Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority board meeting."The airport will continue to pursue them as an option," Chris Curry, airport director, told the board. "It is a viable option to have them at this airport some day."
