Would the economy in the region be able to support two airports? Thoughts on possible carriers? An LCC?
Southwest started its Detroit service at City in the early 90s, but gave up and moved to DTW. Pro Air, a startup, tried and failed too, even with negotiated contracts with GM (and I think Chrysler). I won't hold my breath for a new commercial carrier there anytime soon.
