The severed network

Every place distance pulled back off the map.

Flight was how we beat distance, until we stopped. Across 177 U.S. communities — home to 7.0 million people — scheduled air service has vanished or been cut back to a subsidized lifeline; 54 have no scheduled service at all. Each is documented here and verified against current service, traced to DOT orders, EAS records, and news sources. Filter by region, status, and era, then click any community to see the connection it lost.
