CEDAR CITY REGIONAL AIRPORT HISTORY
SkyWest Airlines provided Essential Air Service (EAS) from 1972 until 2005 when Air Midwest, a subsidiary of Mesa Airlines was awarded the contract. Mayor Gerald Sherratt was quoted as saying “This is not good” when told the news about Mesa being awarded the contract. Citizens wrote to senator Orrin Hatch which prompted him in 2007 to write a letter to the United States Department of Transportation to urge them to select a new carrier to provide air service to Cedar City. Late in 2007, Mesa filed to discontinue service to Cedar City, and a new contract was awarded to SkyWest.
