Enjoy the flights the rest of us pay for: >>>In many cases, EAS leaves taxpayers out to subsidize flights with minimal passenger demand. Take Decatur, Ill., for example, an 80,000-resident town with three daily subsidized flights to St. Louis. According to the most recent data from the Department of Transportation, each flight averages just over one passenger, resulting in a per-passenger government subsidy of $609.87.
