Massachusetts Port Authority has announced that American Airlines will return to service at Worcester Regional Airport in the fall after the pandemic suspended operations last year due to a decline in passengers and decreasing revenues. Following JetBlue and Delta, American is the third airline to return to the regional airport, which has excited Worcester County Sheriff and Massachusetts Port Authority Board Chairperson Lew Evangelidis. “Having more service to more destinations allows passengers to choose a flight that works best for them,” he said. When American fully returns to Worcester Regional Airport in the fall, the airline will offer a daily nonstop flight to Philadelphia International Airport. Tickets are on sale beginning Monday.<br/>

It also expects domestic business in the first half of 2022 to exceed pre-Covid levels. Story is transcript of Joyce interview.<br/>
