New Jersey Governor Seeks To Block Indigo Service to Teterboro

Indigo chairman and CEO Peter Pappas made it clear last month that actions by New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey to block service by Indigo to Teterboro Airport had no legal basis for justification. “We’re bringing a service into an area where it is very much needed, and he [McGreevey] and others are doing nothing more than using a non-issue as a platform to enhance their positions with their constituents,” said Pappas.

The Indigo boss was responding to an announcement by McGreevey’s office on March 1 that he was directing the state attorney general’s office to provide support and resources to block Indigo’s service to Teterboro. Pappas’ comments came on March 3, the day of Indigo’s relaunch of its “regular and frequent” flights between Chicago’s Midway Airport and Teterboro, just 30 minutes from downtown New York City.
