[edit] History
SkyWest Airlines provided Essential Air Service (EAS) from 1972 until 2005 when Air Midwest, a subsidiary of Mesa Airlines was awarded the contract.[1] Mayor Gerald Sherratt was quoted as saying “This is not good” when told the news about Mesa being awarded the contract.[2] Citizens wrote to senator Orrin Hatch which prompted him in 2007 to write a letter to the United States Department of Transportation to urge them to select a new carrier to provide air service to Cedar City.[3] Late in 2007, Mesa filed to discontinue service to Cedar City,[4] and a new contract was awarded to SkyWest.[5]
