Schumer today launched a major push to protect important air service in Upstate New York, especially at Watertown, Massena and Ogdensburg International Airports from proposed cuts by the administration. The recently released Administration's FY2018 budget proposes eliminating the Essential Air Service (EAS) Program that provides support for small, rural airports across the country. Schumer highlighted that the EAS program is critical to supporting air service in a number of communities, including in Jefferson St. Lawrence and Lewis counties. Schumer added that this cut is reckless, harmful to the economy, counter-productive and could deeply impact the ability of Watertown International Airport and many other North Country airports to remain operational for commercial flights, undermining the local economy and forcing resident to drive hours to the next closest airport.</p>"}}
