Abstract
In this paper, regulatory approaches to European and US social air service provision for small communities are
compared. The subsidisation policies currently in place are reviewed briefly. The impact of social air service
provision on small communities in the US is then focused. The Essential Air Service (EAS) Program was
established as part of the 1978 Airline Deregulation Act and its aim was to guarantee a minimum level of air
services to small and medium communities in the new competitive environment. Extensive data have been
gathered from a variety of sources pertaining to EAS services and funding and community economic
characteristics for centers covered by the programme. The characteristics of subsidized communities are
compared with unsubsidized communities for the recent period (i.e. 1985-95). Policy issues are then discussed
in a European context.
