What is EAS?

The Essential Air Service (EAS) program was established to ensure that smaller communities in the United States have access to air transportation. These communities might otherwise be underserved or completely isolated without this program. EAS helps to maintain economic vitality, access to medical care, educational opportunities, and connections to the broader transportation network for these remote areas.

The program subsidizes airlines to operate routes that are deemed essential for the socio-economic well-being of these communities. EAS plays a crucial role in providing essential air connectivity to areas that would otherwise struggle to maintain access to the national air transportation system.
