I'm not this kind of pilot, but I'm pretty sure the issue is that ILS landing equipment in Worcester has been broken for months, so the plane OP needs is still in New York.

Here's the plane I think they intended to use: on Flightaware .

I have no idea how to link NOTAMs but they were issued on 8/10 and appear active...

I have no idea why they're not fixing it or if this is a typical turn around time for this sort of repair.

EDIT: Oh man, it's literally the same flight as when this last came up.

This is so fascinating! Thanks! I have never seen this site. I wish I could learn what all of these entries mean.

Why is the ILS broken for so long here? Especially since ORH is low visibility so often.
