Last week, aldermen in Manchester approved a controversial decision to change the airport's name to include the city of "Boston" in the title. The effort was made in part to help stem the reduction in passengers flying out of Manchester. We'll talk about the significance of such a name change and how the trend is playing out nationally. Our guests are David Field, the Americas Editor for Airline Business Magazine, and Kevin Dillon, the director of the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

And we'll hear producer Liz Bulkley's true story about her flight from Boston to Washington, DC where she was the only passenger.
