Abstract: The objective of this analysis was to provide an economic evaluation of the impact of air service on small metropolitan and rural communities. The specific goal of the analysis was two-fold: 1) to identify any significant economic structures that are common to small cities, but not common to similar cities without air service; 2) to determine local perceptions of the utility of air service that small cities are receiving. Since many of the communities that fit the study objectives are either unserved or served through the Essential Air Service program, the sample of communities draws heavily from communities that are part of this program.
