Link changes proposed

Given the dynamic nature of the EAS program, a link to the current subsidized markets rather than the actual table should be shown.Bravenav 06:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs Updating

Some of the cities (Hagerstown, MD, being one of them) don't have service anymore, thus not having EAS status.

Chriswohlgemuth 21:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This city has since been removed from the listing. -- Beland (talk) 18:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Montana is no longer being serviced by Great Lakes Airlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.1.87 (talk) 02:31, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ridership

I would be curious to see a listing of how many passengers actually fly each subsidized route. -- Beland (talk) 18:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EAS

Other EAS

I was just wondering if there were any other countries that had EAS or equivalent and should we list them here on a "see also" basis?

I mean due to the way their own domestic air service is structured, I can see places like Argentina, Australia and South Africa, to name a few, having an EAS or equivalent kind of system...and I'd like to know what thy are named...Antonio Put Johnson Wax on Me Martin dime 06:46, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map needs an update

Just looking briefly at the map, I noticed that Butte, MT and International Falls, MN aren't represented. Could somebody with mapping expertise go through the list and make sure each county is highlighted? Dlthewave (talk) 18:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The specific counties also need to be reviewed. In Arkansas, the map highlights Ouachita County, Arkansas; but the EAS airport it represents, South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field, is in Union County, Arkansas (between Ouachita County and Louisiana). --RBBrittain (talk) 06:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IATA of origin airports?

Is there any reason not to note the IATA of origin airports in the list of flights? If not I will add them.
