Sorry, I have no idea where MWF is, and no route from TTN is 1 x daily yet. That doesn't happen until the spring, with RDU and MDW. Although TTN-MCO, which began as 2 x weekly fifteen months ago, will go to 8 x weekly for spring break, and again in the summer.
UST - St. Augustine - is neatly placed between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach and should pick up at least some traffic to/from both.
Although it is the first route announced under the new ownership, it continues the same pattern as at the other TTN routes - starting at less than daily, 2 or 3 x weekly - and hopefully building from there. It suggests that Indigo likes what it is seeing at TTN and has faith in the model.
The last airline to serve the airport was the failed and short lived Skybus, but its load factors for PSM-UST were excellent.
i think TTN-UST should do rather well.
