What is EAS Insider about?

  • Awareness

    Our aim is to not only provide high-quality content but also to raise awareness about the Essential Air Service (EAS) Program. This program allocates hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize airline routes between small cities and larger hubs that would otherwise be isolated from the national transportation infrastructure. A significant portion of the population in these small cities opts to drive to larger hubs, which are overseen by local governments. This mode of travel is often less efficient and more congested.

  • Growth

    Public transportation in the United States faces significant challenges, and its continued existence depends on our utilization. Air travel in the U.S. is not as prevalent as it should be, partly due to the higher stress levels associated with flying compared to other modes of transport. By actively supporting and utilizing the Essential Air Service (EAS) Program and opting to use local airports instead of larger hubs, we can bolster local economies and enhance the connectivity of small cities across the nation.

  • Enthusiasm

    Aviation enthusiasts are found throughout the country! Humanity has always been fascinated by flight, and this website is dedicated to fostering that interest. In the section below, the author elaborates on why writing articles is his chosen method of sharing his passion for aviation.

The Author

“I’ve always been intrigued by flight itself. As a kid I grew up watching airplanes takeoff and land in Memphis and was appalled at how something so huge could lift into the air with such ease. That astonishment pushed me as a child to learn more about airplanes and eventually aviation in general. As I got older my interests only grew, as I took my enthusiasm to the next level by learning to fly.”
