Patronage on many flights is very low. The majority of EAS planes have fewer than 20 seats, and flights typically are less than half full.[11] However, the program is politically popular in the cities receiving the subsidized flights, many of which use an airport with scheduled service as a selling point to attract industry to their regions.
Several subsidized airports are within an hour's drive from an unsubsidized airport.[12] For example:
Some subsidized airports are within driving distance of multiple unsubsidized airports. For example:
Some of the subsidized airports also have a daily Amtrak service.
Some of the subsidized airports have two daily Amtrak services.
Congressional panels expected the funding for the program to increase slightly to $114 million in 2007.[dated info] However, the George W. Bush administration sought to reduce the cost of the program to $50 million by stricter eligibility criteria and requiring the local governments of the areas served to contribute to the cost. The Heritage Foundation argued in 2014 that rural airports should receive no federal subsidies through the Essential Air Service program; rather, state and local governments that value the air services should support them.[20]
The Alternative Essential Air Service program designates funds directly to the municipality or airport authority instead of the airline. This allows the community to recruit air service that would not otherwise meet EAS guidelines, such as less-than-daily service, flights to differing destinations at different times of the year or week, air taxi service, or even ground transportation. This is often done under a public charter arrangement. The first airport to enter this program was Manistee County Blacker Airport in 2012.[21] Victoria Regional Airport joined the program in 2014. In both cases, the airports went through multiple rounds of traditional Essential Air Service bidding where no acceptable bids were received.
The following tables list all subsidized Essential Air Service routes. This is based on reports issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT),[22] most recently in November 2013,[2][3] and updated to reflect changes based on DOT orders published at [Regulations.gov]. Docket and order numbers link to their respective pages on the docket management site, which typically includes the original files in PDF and other formats.
