why are the passenger numbers so criticial at this point in time ? As the economy improves those numbers will improve. The idea is to capture the people that are traveling to Boston. Why would any one want to drive to Boston when you have a local airport ? Unless you drive a hybrid vehicle I don't see the savings in the cost of fuel to travel to Boston, the extra time wasted, and having to deal with a busy Boston. Where as TF Green is so local you could be dropped off by a friend or relative which saves in parking fees. You don't have to use a half a tank of gas driving to Boston (most non hybrid vehicles), and you don't have the added 2 hour commute time (hour up and an hour back if your lucky on traffic). Why wouldn't you want to fly out of TF Green? Now the airport expansion would allow airlines to offer more direct flights, more flights to areas not currently offered.
