Are there any “hops” from Vegas or PHoenix or is everything at Havasu airport strictly charter?
Friend is wondering.

Yep, even with the subsidies it was very expensive and none of the airlines could afford to continue as I recall. Just not enough customers willing to pay the price for convenience.Years ago Havasu qualified for the Essential Air Service program, but lost its EAS designation back in the late 2000's. EAS is a govt subside to provide air service to remote communities.
Just not a big enough market to support scheduld air service.
Maybe you could try RDP express. I think there’s quite a few pilots on here.So basically straight charter or private it sounds like.
Yes. That is correct.So basically straight charter or private it sounds like.
Has Kingman ever tried for EAS status? Airport is big enough. 737 cargo land there now. The elevation has to be better then trying to fly out of havasu or bullhead heat. Drawing from Flagstaff to havasu to mohave valley would seem to be a draw for something like Southwest Would be nicer then driving to vegas or phoenix
I know they have tried Bullhead before and failed, just like Havasu. They also had to cancel flights in extreme heat, like havasu. I always hear bullhead and havasu but never kingman. Maybe very good reasons for that but i never hear themYour best bet for that region of AZ is Bullhead.
