Direct Air--55% load first flight


Telegram story, click here. Looks like everthing went well.
Little, or should I say alot concerned, that only 82 of 149 seats (55% load) were sold. Direct Air made no money on this flight and will need to see higher loads to continue service out of ORH.

The president of Direct Air did say yesterday that the Dec. flights were sold out and people were still trying to book them.

Is this part really true?

From the article:

“Free parking,” was all Robert Svenconis of Boylston had to say. He and his wife, Denise, and their two children Kristen and RJ travel several times a year to their condo on Juno Beach and have booked flights through April.

as far as I know we are charging for parking in Worcester.

maybe they were referring to their destination airport?

T& G article 11/22/08 Direct Air TakesOff on-line comment section has ground handler stating he/she? was more than surpised at the passenger load . There should be no need to worry if airport staff is pleased with the #'s.
