Reasonably priced and scheduled flights from PWM to BGR would be a nice start.

It's a 2 hour drive tops up 295/95... I can't see that ever being a profitable or popular commercial flight.

There are cheap af bus rides as well, and it's really not a bad experience... It's not far at all

You would spend more time going through TSA, boarding, waiting for your luggage than you would driving.

I think I'd rather have a train between the two. It'd be about as long as the ride from Portland to Boston.

That’s never going to be economically viable. The best you could get would be an 8 seater like Cape Air flys between Trenton and Boston, and I doubt enough people are going to pay $150 one way to fly BGR to PWM to fill one of those.

it would take longer to go to the airport, get through security, wait, board, pre-flight checks, land, deplane than it would just be to make the flight. There's a bus for those that don't want to drive.
