Worcester Regional Airport(IATA:ORH,ICAO:KORH,FAALID:ORH) is three miles (5 km) west ofWorcester,inWorcester County,Massachusetts, United States. The main property lies within municipalities of Worcester andLeicester,with supporting facilities inPaxton.Once owned by the City of Worcester, the airport has been owned and operated by theMassachusetts Port Authority(Massport) since June 2010.[2]

The airport code is believed to have originated from the word "Worcester". "W" cannot be used as the first letter of the identifier for airports in the United States, and "ORC" was already assigned. The origin of the "H" is unclear and might have been arbitrary.[3]

History[edit]

Early years[edit]

Worcester's entry into the world of aviation began in 1925, when city officials commissioned a study to examine sites for the city's first airport. On the list of sites was land owned by a wealthy local citizen, Whitin Whitall. In 1927, Whitall, independently of the city commission, set up an airport on his land in NorthGrafton,500 feet (150 m) above sea level.This two-runway airportopened for leisure travel on October 12, 1927.[4]

As air travel became more popular, airport expansion was the subject of a second study commissioned by the city. The Grafton airport was deemed too small to accommodate the air travel needs of the region. The location of the present airport, Tatnuck Hill, on the borders of Worcester, Leicester, and Paxton, was high on the commission's list. One problem noted by the commission was the weather: at 1,000-foot (300 m) above sea level, the Tatnuck site was often surrounded by fog. Despite this problem, the city eventually chose Tatnuck as the new site, and construction began in 1944. The airport was ceremoniously opened on May 4, 1946, and started regular passenger service one week later on May 10, 1946. That same year,Northeast Airlineswas operating nonstopDouglas DC-3service to New YorkNewark Airport,BostonandLawrence, MAas well as direct one stop DC-3 service toPortland, ME.[5]The Grafton airport remained in operation until 1951, when the owners, due to the dwindling traffic, decided to dismantle the airport. The land was redeveloped as a residential neighborhood.[6]Leicester Airport,a small private airfield also built during the first half-century of aviation, was active until the 1970s. It still sits, now mostly overgrown in the shadow of Worcester Regional which in 1969 was served byNortheast AirlineswithMcDonnell Douglas DC-9-30jet andFairchild Hiller FH-227turboprop flights nonstop to New YorkLaGuardia Airportas well as to nearbyBostonandManchester, NH.[7][8]

Northeast Airlines was then acquired by and merged intoDelta Air Lineswhich in 1973 was continuing to serve Worcester withMcDonnell Douglas DC-9-30jet service nonstop to New YorkLaGuardia AirportandManchester, NHas well as direct, no change of plane DC-9 jet service toAtlanta,BostonandNew Orleans.[9]By late 1979, Delta was operating all of its flights into Worcester withBoeing 727-200jetliners with nonstop flights to New York LaGuardia and Manchester in addition to direct, no change of plane 727 jet service to Boston,Houston,Jacksonville, FL,OrlandoandMiami.[10][11][12]However, Delta was no longer serving the airport by the early 1980s.[13]In 1981, two commuter airlines were serving Worcester:Bar Harbor AirlinesoperatingConvair 600andBeechcraft 99turboprop aircraft with nonstop service from New York LaGuardia,Hartfordand Manchester, and Precision Airlines operating shuttle service into the airport with thirteen nonstop flights operated every weekday fromBoston Logan International Airport(BOS) flown with smallPiper Navajotwin engine piston aircraft.[14]

Millions of dollars were spent replacing the old terminal, which hosted a half-dozen airlines before its demolition. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, major carriers, such asPiedmont,Northwest Airlines,Continental,andUSAirall flew mainline jets into Worcester. In addition, smaller carriers, likeNew York AirandPresidential Airwaysalso had jet service. The small terminal had two ground level jetways built to accommodate the growth. One by one, those carriers left.

2000–2020[edit]

In 2001,Pan American Airways (1998–2004)was operating daily nonstopBoeing 727-200service toOrlando, Floridavia theOrlando Sanford International Airport(SFB).[15][16]

Allegiant Aircommenced commercial service to ORH with flights toOrlando/Sanford, Florida(SFB) on December 22, 2005, and expanded to four flights per week in March 2006. Allegiant announced on August 22, 2006, that they would cut ties with the airport, citing high fuel costs and passenger loads in the 80% range as the reason for departure. The announcement of flights ending took people by surprise as service was popular and well-regarded by the flying public throughout Allegiant's entire tenure at the airport.[17]

On September 4, 2008,Direct Airannounced they would begin service to Worcester beginning in November 2008, with flights fromOrlando/Sanford, FloridaandFort Myers/Punta Gorda, Florida.The flights were originally operated byVirgin AmericausingAirbus A320aircraft. However, Direct Air was required to return the aircraft in June 2009 to suffice Virgin's rapidly expanding domestic routes. At this point, Direct Air began operating flights usingBoeing 737-400sowned byXtra Airways.Due to this being a wet-lease agreement, there were times where the aircraft was unavailable and other aircraft had to be chartered for the flights. Such examples include service withAirbus A320fromUSA 3000andBoeing 757fromNorth American Airlines.In March 2009, Direct Air added additional flights toMyrtle Beach, SC.In July 2010, Direct Air expanded their Worcester service further toWest Palm Beach, Florida.The airline had further plans to launch flights toSan Juan, Puerto Rico,andNassau, Bahamas,but in March 2012 Direct Air suspended all operations and later filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on April 12, 2012.[18]

On April 3, 2013,JetBlueannounced daily flights toOrlando, Florida,andFort Lauderdale, Florida,starting November 7, 2013.[19]This came after over a year of negotiating with the airline that included a competition among local residents to help advertise the city. This became the first mainline service out of Worcester in over a decade. The airline originally operated the 100-seatEmbraer 190for their flights, though in 2023 they were permanently swapped for the 162-seatAirbus A320upon increased demand. The A320 would then operate all flights out of Worcester for the carrier.

A revamp of the defunct airlineAir Floridahad planned to fly out of Worcester at the beginning of 2015 as a scheduled charter operation. However, the airline never got off the ground.[20]

Worcester Regional Airport in 2014

On November 17, 2015,Rectrix Aviationopened a newfixed-base operatorbuilding and hangar in Worcester. Rectrix also launched flights between Worcester andCape Codin the summer of 2017 with their newly established commercial airline operation,Rectrix Shuttle.[21][needs update]After two summers Rectrix replaced Worcester withWestchester County Airporton their route map ending the service after two summers due to low demand.

On February 28, 2017, JetBlue announced it would expand its service at the airport, adding a daily non-stop flight to New York City. JetBlue did not provide a start date, but airline officials said the new flights would not begin until after the landing system was operational.[22][needs update]The first revenue flight to New York left Worcester at 6 AM on May 3, 2018. Despite the same reliability found at Logan with the new landing system flights to JFK after three years have been 40-50 percent full.[23]Although JetBlue had later suspended all flights due to theimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation,the airline had announced intentions to resume services at the airport in the future, later announcing service would resume in August 2021.[24]

On April 9, 2018,American Airlinesannounced it would begin daily non-stop service from Worcester toPhiladelphiaon October 4, 2018. On June 4, American Airlines announced it would add a second daily flight and would be changing the schedule of the initial flight.[25]The service would operate twice-daily on 50-seatEmbraer ERJ-145s.[26]Despite the efforts to add an additional frequency, Piedmont announced in February, only four months into service, a reduction to only one daily flight, starting in June 2019 due to low demand.[27]American has since ended service to Worcester as of June 2020.

On August 28, 2018,Delta Air Linesannounced it would begin daily non-stop service from Worcester toDetroit Metropolitan Airport,operated byDelta Connection,which began on August 1, 2019, using 50-seatCanadair CRJ-200regional jets.[28]

2020–present[edit]

On January 25, 2020, Delta announced it would begin cutting back flights by dropping its Saturday flight due to low demand. There was initially speculation that the Saturday flight would possibly return in May, but the future of service remained uncertain, with Delta experiencing 50-60 percent loads to Detroit.[23]

By late 2020, as with airports across the rest of the country, Worcester was concentrated on the return to service prior to theCOVID-19 pandemic.JetBluehad suspended service indefinitely, whileAmericanhad once again removed Worcester from its route map and ended service after only two years,[29]leaving Delta as the last airline operating out of Worcester to maintain minimum service through theCARES Act.Although JetBlue had announced intentions to return in the future, both Delta and JetBlue were no longer required to do so by the government after October 1, 2020, once the CARES Act expired.

On January 13, 2021, within the documentation for their Northeast Agreement alliance withAmerican Airlines,it was initially confirmed that JetBlue's station at the airport was closed permanently, along withOaklandandLong Beach,once again leaving Worcester with no scheduled commercial service.[30]JetBlue later announced on May 26, 2021, that it would resume service at the airport, though service to Orlando had yet to resume.[24]Delta Air Lineson August 18, 2021, announced that it would also resume service at the airport through its regional franchiseDelta Connectionwith 75 seats.[31]American Airlinesannounced on August 28, 2021, that it would resume service to Philadelphia in November, with flights operated by regional franchiseAmerican Eagle.[32]However, this was short lived because American announced that they would move its flight from Philadelphia to its hub atNew York-Kennedyso it could use their larger Embraer 175's which allowed for premium service and more connections through JetBlue's base at Kennedy and their hub at Kennedy under the Northeast Alliance.

On April 10th, 2023, jetBlue announced they would resume service to Orlando, and begin seasonal service to Fort Myers. Orlando service commenced on June 15th, 2023, and service to Fort Myers commenced on January 4th, 2024. That same year, the airline increased capacity by replacing the Embraer 190 with the Airbus A320.

Massport[edit]

The airport had been under an operating agreement with Massport, theMassachusetts Port Authority,for several years. Under the agreement, the city and Massport paid the operating deficit together.

  • July 1, 2004 – June 30, 2005 – Massport pays 100% of operating deficit not including debt service
  • July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2006 – Massport pays 85% of operating deficit not including debt service
  • July 1, 2006 – June 30, 2007 – Massport pays 68% of operating deficit not including debt service[33]

By law, Worcester had to transfer ownership of the airport to Massport sometime in 2009 or 2010.[34]As of July 1, 2010, Massport became the owner and operator of the airport.

Atlantic Aviation is thefixed-base operatorat the airport.

Ground transportation[edit]

Four rental car agencies are located in the terminal building at Worcester Regional Airport.Avis,Budget,Hertz,andThriftyall have concession stands across from the baggage claim.

TheWorcester Regional Transit Authority(WRTA)'s route #2[39]bus connectsUnion Station,a regionalMBTA Commuter Rail,Amtrak,and bus transportation hub in the Downtown Worcester district, with the airport. Union Station is the western terminus of theMassachusetts Bay Transportation Authority'sFramingham/Worcester Line,with eastbound service toBack BayandSouth Stationin Boston. Additionally, service via Amtrak'sLake Shore LimitedBoston section to/fromAlbany, New York,with connections to Chicago (formerly also theRegional'sInland Route) stops at this location, as does intercity (Peter Pan Bus Lines), (Greyhound Bus Lines), and other local WRTA bus services at Union Station.

The airport presently lacks a direct connection to anInterstate Highway.However, a number of interstate routes such as I-290,I-90,I-190,I-395,I-495,and routes:MA-9,MA-122,andMA-146provide access through smaller access roads.[40]Travel time to reach the airport is approximately 5–10 minutes after exiting Interstate I-290, Worcester's primary access via interstate highway from the north and the south also with direct access to theMassachusetts Turnpike.

Category III landing system[edit]

On April 28, 2016, Massport approved funding for the installation of aCategory IIIbinstrument landing systemat ORH. The geographic location of the airport, on top of the tallest hill in the city reaching approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, leaves Worcester on average with 40 more days of fog a year than nearby Boston.[41]The installation of the Category IIIb landing system will allow capable aircraft to land and depart in virtually all weather conditions. The installation of the landing system also included the addition of a jug-handle taxiway at the approach end of Runway 11.

The ILS system was completed in December 2017 and went live on March 19, 2018.[42]Completion of the ILS allowedJetBlueto add a flight from Worcester toNew York-JFK,operated with anEmbraer 190aircraft capable of autoland. The same aircraft was used for flights to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando likewise are also able to use the ILS. However,American'sflight to theirPhiladelphiahub was operated by anEmbraer 145aircraft which was not able to use the newly installed Category III system which led to many weather cancellations and diversions during their second brief tenure. WhenAmericanmoved their route from Philadelphia to theirNew York-JFKhub, they upgraded the route from the E145 to theEmbraer 175and it was able to use the Category III system.
