Yeah, but this one was hardly Wilmington's fault. FWIW, I think Skybus was there for less than a month.

Wilmington service would work, but it would have to be the right type of service. Probably something like low fare, point-to-point to a place folks would want to go. Like Florida. Or maybe Boston (it's not that far, but a bad drive). With a ton of nonstop service just up the road in PHL (like 25 miles), you're not going to attract much interest with a couple of spoke runs on an RJ to a hub. Nor were you going to attract enough people with flights to Greensboro or Columbus.
