Bill Tries To Preserve Hagerstown Flights
   posted 2:25 pm Fri September 28, 2007 - Hagerstown
Commercial air service in Hagerstown would be preserved through at least November 15th under a federal funding bill awaiting President Bush's signature. Without the funding, the only carrier serving Hagerstown Regional Airport would pull out Monday.

Maryland senators Benjamin Cardin and Barbara Mikulksi say a measure to extend the Essential Air Service subsidy program was part of a stopgap spending bill Congress passed Thursday night.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?They say continuing the subsidy program is critical to finding a carrier to replace Air Midwest, which operates US Airways Express flights between Hagerstown and Pittsburgh.
