It's a simple matter of economics- there are not enough people traveling to and from RI from those places to make it profitable for airlines to fly non-stops to Green. Even if RI's economy wasn't circling the bowl, it is not Boston or New York and never will be.
"There is a laser focus on economic development by the Assembly”- this is laughable when one considers the truck toll fiasco, and spending taxpayer money (basically bribing airlines) with a subsidy (YOUR tax dollars at work) to come here, as well as RI residents' general attitude towards business; the subsidy will make up for money lost by the airlines flying into Green- that's what they mean by "risk", but won't say it in plain English.
I'd love a direct flight from Houston to visit RI, but there aren't enough folks interested in coming back, except for warm-weather visits and funerals.
When I arrive at Green, I'm surprised if more than 2-4 people on the flight actually rode both flights from Houston with me.
This proposition is not bedded in economic reality.
