Dodge City Liberal Garden City and Hays fear loss of essential air service if the federal EAS subsidies are cut. Officials cite 2016 boardings and multi airport support, with Garden City reliant on American Eagle service to Dallas Fort Worth and potential alternatives under Kansas Affordable Airfares funding. Local leaders pledge ongoing advocacy in Washington as budget talks continue.
