The addition of White Plains as a destination is correct, but the explanation is not. United flew direct from New Haven to Chicago, if not every flight, then many of them. Some flights stopped in White Plains on the trip back to New Haven, so it would not have been for refueling because of a short runway in New Haven. It could have been just a stop to bring passengers to and from White Plains. I flew New Haven-Chicago direct a number of times and a colleague of mine, a native of Chicago who has worked in New Haven for years, took the direct flight many times. The flight did not stop in White Plains on the way to Chicago because of runway reasons. -- InkQuill 21:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to question the deletion of former airlines. While PikDig removed them according to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports#Former_routes, that article discusses former routes and not former airlines that served the airports. Tweed has a long history of airlines that have attempted to serve the airport and pulled out after a short time. While I have no problem deleting the destinations (but I have an argument for keeping them, below), I think it's useful to note which airlines have flown out of Tweed over the years. Now for destinations served: It would be ridiculous to list every former destination of a major airport, but since most of the airlines that have flown out of Tweed have flown to only one or two places, it seems worthwhile to include them.

Someone added Allegiant Air as an airline operating out of Tweed (to Bradley) and, surprise surprise, no sources are mentioned. As neither BDL nor HVN appear on Allegiant's route map, I've allowed myself to delete the text. Please feel free to revert it if anyone can come up with a reliable source (perhaps Allegiant's website?). 76.243.112.85 ( talk) 15:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC) Ya i nocticed the same thing, it confused me, it wasnt true.
Deleted the reference to Pittsburg as USAirways only flys to Philadelphia at the moment. If new information exists, please reference. --Firelife 18:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
