Guess It's Greyhound Now

The pandemic accelerated the end for many airline routes, especially for smaller airports connecting to bigger ones. This article about Williamsport, PA losing commercial flights notes that despite a new $17 million terminal, there won't be any commercial flights left, and not too many people were flying there to begin with. But if you live there, you're looking at a long drive to Scranton or Harrisburg if you don't mind a connection and Philadelphia -- 190 miles -- if you do. 15 small airports -- Dubuque, Roswell, others -- are losing their service. I've always lived near major airports (actually under the flight path for Newark, JFK, Philadelphia, and now LAX), so I don't know what it's like when you have to go a long, long way for a flight. If your town is too small for many flights, does that pose a problem? What does losing that connection mean to a town? (Philadelphia Inquirer)
