Government Announces Subsidies for Air Service to Rural Areas to End as Early as This Weekend
The Trump administration has announced that funds from a federal initiative that subsidizes commercial air service to rural airports are set to expire as early as this weekend due to the ongoing government shutdown.
Federal transportation authorities indicated that financial assistance under the Essential Air Service program are likely to end as soon as Sunday after the department transferred separate financial resources from the Federal Aviation Administration as an temporary measure.
Transportation officials is currently notifying carriers about the funding shortfall and alerting communities about possible impacts.
Federal authorities allocates approximately $350 million in annual funding for the program.
In recent months, the administration suggested reducing financial support by $308m for the Essential Air Service, which enjoys popularity among GOP legislators because it offers connectivity to rural, largely Republican areas.
During the first presidency of the former president, the White House suggested terminating the Essential Air Service initiative – but Congress opted to increase financial support instead.
This initiative typically subsidizes two round trips daily using 30- to 50-seat aircraft – or more frequent flights with smaller planes. Officials report that under the program, approximately 65 communities in the northern state receive service and 112 communities across the remaining states and the territory that otherwise might not receive any airline service.
“Every state nationwide will feel the effects,” the transportation secretary commented during a media briefing, noting the service had bipartisan support. “We don't have the funding for that program going forward.”
