Massport will run the airport as part of a five year operating agreement and will focus on adding Worcester Airport to the roster of booming regional airports in New England.
Regional airports are the next logical step in continuing Massachusetts economic boom.
This investment in the people and business community of central Massachusetts will pay off enormous dividends. Massport s move will further reduce passengers reliance on Logan Airport and continue to spread the burden of air traffic equitably throughout New England. To ensure that Worcester Airport becomes a viable alternative to Logan Airport, Massport has initiated discussions with several airlines and begun to market the regional facility. This is an important milestone for the airport and the people it serves, said Worcester City Manager Thomas R. Hoover. With Massport now in place, we will see more airlines, more destinations, more service and more jobs for our community.
