Manchester Name Change

part of a story:


Craig P. Coy, chief executive of the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan, has asked authority lawyers to see whether Massport would have any legal standing to oppose Manchester adding Boston to its name.

Notably, however, Massport has over the years seriously considered renaming the Worcester Regional Airport, which it runs under contract with that city, Worcester-Boston Regional to help promote service there. The last major airline offering regular service at Worcester, US Airways Express, left Worcester in February 2003, and currently Worcester has just flights to Orlando on Allegiant Air.

Maybe they can pass a law like the one regarding Boston Baked Beans (prohibiting sales of Boston Baked Beans unless they followed a specific recipe).

"No airline ticket may be sold in the state of Massachusetts with the name Boston in the origin or destination, unless the origin or destination of said flight is an airport within the boundaries of Massachusetts"
