I recall that several states had no scheduled service at all to their state capitals, including Trenton, Montpelier, Dover, and Frankfort KY.

Wonder how many of us here never knew that was the capital of Kentucky, much less that city existed

One of my favorite toys as a kid was a wooden puzzle of the US, showing state capitals. I still know them all.

This seems like a fun question, so I put together the stats for you. All data is from DIIO MI. First of all, there are 16 states with no intrastate flights: AL, AR, CT, DE, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, NH, NJ, OK, RI, SC, VT, WI.

Rhode Island has intra-state scheduled service between Westerley (WST) and Block Island (BID) operated by New England Airlines

Ah, sorry. I left the caveat out of my post upthread, which is that sometimes the small air taxi-type operators don't show up in my data source. I'm not sure what the cut-off is or why some small operators show up and others don't, but I meant to include that disclaimer and forgot. There are certainly others, though as they're unlikely to be familiar even to the readers of this board I still felt like the post could be useful.

Probably already mentioned in this thread, but US used to have PHL and PIT to MDT daily flights.
As per the above posts, jurisdictional capitals are big on intra flights.

I’ve done my share of GRR-DTW connections over the years. DTW also gets some EAS routes from northern lower Michigan and I want to say the UP as well

I actually took that flight one time when I was in the area, just to add two new airports to my list and to say I've taken an intra-Rhode Island flight.

Most of the passengers were construction workers. On one of the flights I got to sit in the right seat up front. That was fun. :)
