3. Also remember that some of those regional airports have commercial flights

I have no problem closing ones that only are used for private planes. The last two times I've flown into the US I have had to go to a regional airport because I have a parent who lives in a smaller part of the state. Both of the airports are small (about an hour apart) and I fly into whichever is cheapest and has seats available. We flew into the one an hour away last time because we were able to get seats for $129 each (that's one way, we traveled up to a larger city for the rest of our trip and flew out there for a much cheaper price). When I fly round trip to the closer airport and am not able to book a flight early it is crazy expensive (like $350 round trip) for a flight that is about an hour.
