Airport in St George and Cedar

Cedar City Airport is nice and I am hoping the St George one when it is done is just as nice, but what I hope for the most is maybe more options for destinations. It is kind of a pain to have to fly to St Lake to go to Phoenix. I'd love to be able to fly to San Diego, Phoenix, somewhere in Texas and SLC from here. Who knows maybe that would increase tourism too!

Just another benefit of relying on subsidized operating funds from the FAA. They, not you, get to decide what you need. When you are able to kick the fedaral money habit for operating expenses, you can have more control over your travel plans.

Let's thank Mesa Airlines for providing a daily flight to Las Vegas from Cedar. Vegas has many more direct flights to many more locations than Salt Lake, and almost always at a lower fare. Of course, you may have some trouble booking the flight - it's been full every time I've been on it, whereas the last time I flew to Cedar from SLC, there were a grand total of 7 passengers on the plane.

And Mesa offers that choice for half the amount of federal subsidy that Skywest wanted. Well done.
