Abstract:

Since 1978, the Essential Air

Service (EAS) program has

subsidized air service to eligible

communities that would otherwise

not have scheduled service. The

cost of this program has risen as

the number of communities being

served and subsidies to air carriers

have increased. At the same time,

the number of carriers providing

EAS service has declined. Given

continuing concerns over the EAS

program’s long-term prospects,

GAO was asked to review the

program.

GAO reviewed (1) the

characteristics and current status

of the EAS program, (2) factors

affecting the program’s ability to

provide air service, (3) options for

revising the program, and (4) tools

for assessing the program, the

options for its revision, and the

program’s performance. GAO

interviewed stakeholders and

reviewed the results of an expert

panel convened by GAO,

Department of Transportation

(DOT) data and program

documentation, and potential

methodologies for assessing

federal programs.
