while there is growth to come, it still won't match the over 220 daily flights in and out of PVD back in 2005. As far as the statement, "There are only so many who fly". Well, there has been an increase of over 10 million passengers at Logan in the last 7 years. And I am sure if pricing were equal at PVD at least 2 million would fly from here, if not more. In 2005 when PVD carried the 5.7 million passengers, Logan carried 27 million that year. So yeah, there are only so many who will fly, but that keeps increasing every year, just not at PVD. Moxy, a new airline which is starting up in 2020-21 might affect PVD like SW did in 1998. That will bring increase monies to both the state and city of Warwick. PVD lost passengers after 2005 because airlines were losing money and were consolidating services at larger airports. Add Jet Blue expansion with their low fares at Logan, PVD has not rebounded like some other mid sized airports. Also, Southwest's constantly reducing service here does not help. Hartford has now surpassed PVD as their second largest New England

station after Boston.
