As I just mentioned in the other thread, this is the death knell for ILG. Expect to see that airport wind down after the spring break travel season, if not after the holiday season (PHL-MCO/TPA begins in December).

One thing to note is that the article says the following about ILG/TTN:

"We have no plans to change our Trenton strategy," Biffle said. "You have the No. 1 metro area in the United States to the north - New York - and a top-five metropolitan area to the south - Philadelphia - and a lot of people who live in between."

Siegel said, "There's very little overlap between those markets."

Frontier operates flights at New Castle Airport near Wilmington, but some Delaware service has been cut.
I see TTN continuing, although this will certainly stunt its growth, while ILG is gone.
