Small Airports Get — And Get Ready For — International Service
In the past, the biggest and busiest U.S. airports had the market for international air service all to themselves.
Now smaller airports, such as Bradley International, near Hartford, Conn.; T.F. Green Airport, near Providence, R.I.; and Stewart International Airport, in New York’s Hudson Valley; have snagged some direct flights to Europe and a potentially profitable slice of the trans-Atlantic air service pie.
Getting — and keeping — new international service has spurred improvements at these small airports, as they invest cash incentives, add amenities and spruce up facilities.
