WORCESTER, MA — To entice the thousands of local college students to take advantage of nearby Worcester Regional Airport, Massport and several large airlines are mounting a ticket giveaway.
The "Worcester College Sweepstakes" began on Monday. Massport, which operates the airport, along with JetBlue, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines will give six free round trip tickets out of Worcester to students at eight city colleges and universities.
"We encourage the Worcester college community to fly Worcester, whether they’re planning for Spring Break or summer vacation or looking to study abroad," Worcester Regional Airport Director Andy Davis said in a press release.
