Right. Other than start/end of semester times, students and family demand for air travel is probably minimal.
The busiest time is probably around commencement in May when hotels are at capacity with parents and family attending the celebrations.
I am not sure if faculty travels that much.
I know there are several bio techs, consulting and start ups that are Ithaca based and are probably the ones flying in and out of Ithaca on a regular basis.
