Manchester-Boston Regional Airport Director Mark Brewer
By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, September 2, 2009.
The last several years have been tough on the airline industry, but many are calling Manchester-Boston Regional Airport the bright star in a dull Granite State economy. A new economic study shows that Manchester’s airport has over a $1.2 billion impact, nearly double what it was five years ago. Airport director Mark Brewer joins us to talk about the good news and the challenges, including a new access road being built and an effort to lure passengers away to Boston’s Logan Airport.

I've tried contacting the airport about this and they say it's a vendor issue. Can you tell me why the airport seems to have Fox "News" blaring from every tv set near passenger gates? We can't get away from it. Why not another news station?
I enjoyed the show this AM with Mr. Brewer. This past April I took my grandson to meet my son (his dad) who was returning from Iraq. He's in the Navy Reserve. We showed up at the airport with 6 helium balloons -
Families meeting returning service members go through TSA and go to the gate. EVERYONE involved made an extra effort to xray the balloons, talk to my grandson, etc. so that he could be at the gate for his dad with balloons!
I fly in & out of Logan at least 6 times a year - they never would have made the extra effort. Thank you!
I am a great fan of MHT. However to be a welcoming port for arriving travelers, MHT and the city need to figure out a better transportation situation. Passengers who want to go to Portsmouth or Keene have no options,and even when the buses service an area, the option is to take an expensive cab to downtown to try and find a bus. More transportation coordination is needed. It is indeed a chicken/egg issue: more passengers-more options. However, the issue cannot be overlooked by the planners. This great airport suffers from lack of coordinated ground transportation.
