I've posted this elsewhere but I think starting June 6th Delta will resume its seasonal service from KJFK - KACK (Nantucket,MA). The Schedule shows the main aircraft being used as CRJ-200...both KACK and KHYA (Hyannis, MA) have limits of 120,000lbs I think. Also, I saw service to KDCA and KPHL from KACK, with a stop at KJFK. Hopefully it will be flyable on here as well. Hyannis, MA is presently in negotiations to add a leg in the KJFK (and maybe the Philly/DCA route???)

Most probably don't care, but it'd be nice to get Delta back near my hometown! smile

Is the HYA-ACK route not a Cape Air Codeshare? Is the whole thing not a cape air code share?

Contintenal and Jet Blue also offer seasonal service to ACK, and linked to HYA via their Cape Air code share. I was just hoping I could at least a few CRJ/ERJ's in HYA to make the links and not the rinky-dink Cessna 420s smile

Great! I'm also from Massachusetts. This is good for the Islands.

i always used to fly jfk to boston on jetblue, then connect to cape air and go to hyannis, but direct flights on delta will be easier

Yeah, my wife and I wanna take our daughter to DC, and thought about getting to Nantucket and hopping on a CRJ to DCA...but she doesn't wanna ride a Cessna 420 (Cape Air)...I can't say that I blame her. CRJs just seem so much more comfy smile
