New carrier at DuBois Regional Airport to help keep essential air service
REYNOLDSVILLE - In May, the Department of Transportation recommended six airports in Pennsylvania lose their Essential Air Service. That list included airports in Cambria, Blair and Jefferson counties.
Monday, the DOT made that decision final. These airports will lose their EAS in 30 days unless they petition for a waiver.
EAS is how the government pays to keep passenger flights going to small airports.
DOT is eliminating EAS at airports because it either did not enplane an average of 10 or more passengers per day and/or the subsidy rate per passenger exceeded $200.

While there have been Jonas sightings in the past, like celebrating 21st birthdays at Champs, showing support for the Nittany Lions at the Rose Bowl, or Joe Jonas performing at THON in 2017, there has never been quite so many consecutive public stops to Happy Valley as there have been this year.
