June 11th, 2002 City Council Meeting letter from City Manager Tom Hoover:
Attached is a newspaper article from the T & G dated 6/2/2 regarding the interest of CommutAir in operating out of our regional airport. In this article, it indicates CommutAir has yet to meet with the ad hoc airport committee, which is co-chaired by Mark Love, President of the Worcester Regional Commerce and myself. While it is true, it is not a case where we have not discussed this matter within the committee.
I have had discussions with Eric Waldron, MassPort Director of Worcester Regional Airport with regards to this issue over the last several months. In addition, Mr Waldron has described the possibility of CommutAir being adding at the airport with the Ad Hoc Committee during the last several bi-weekly meetings. In turn, Mr Waldron has had continuing discussion with CommutAir during this period of time.
You can be assured that my office and the Ad Hoc Committee, along with MassPort, will continue every effort possible to confirm CommutAir operations at our airport in the near future.
Sincerely,
Thomas Hoover
City Manager

I remeber when that article came out. I wonder what kept them from serving ORH?
I read on their web site under press releases that they purchased larger aircraft and will be expanding into about 8 new markets.
It seems like commutair would fit right in with our needs...flights to a hub, fuel efficent aircraft, smaller "easier to fill" aircraft. Now, if we could just get our airport managment to push ORH...
Funny I was flipping through some of these all City Council minutes and, in the words of Yogi Bera, I was having deja vu all over again...
We seem to basically go down the same path over and over again, but get no where... At some point potential, studies and consultants need to end and results need to be produced.
Right now the airport loses $2,000,000 per year, we need results now!!!
