Iowa forms panel to protect regional air service
The Iowa Legislature created a Commercial Air Service Retention and Enhancement Committee led by the DOT to study smaller airports hours for cockpit experience and plan a response as cash strapped airlines shift to larger planes. Six regional airports carried 92 472 passengers last year, only 5 percent of Iowa’s total. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines handle 95 percent and grow. Waterloo with 945 546 in EAS subsidies has dropped 36 percent.
