KACV (Eureka/Arcata) wins grant to re-start Alaska service
Just read this...

Looks like ACV is getting a grant from the DoT which will allow them to contract with Alaska to re-start service to Seattle.

"But, in comparison to other larger airports, service is still extremely limited."
Oh, really? I wonder why? /s
With family in that area, I welcome additional options, though when I do the math, it's probably faster and more cost effective to drive than to fly north to SEA and then back down the coast across all of WA and OR.

Yeah, I have family in Arcata as well. United has been the go-to for a while to get down to SAN thru SFO, but if Alaska starts flying I might actually find a flight my GGUs will work on.

EGE's $1 million grant is also aimed at attracting Alaska. Seattle-Vail would be an interesting add. Does the E175 have the ability to take off on that long a route from EGE with meaningful payload?

I've always thought EGE was a glaring hole in AS's network. Would've thought when they announced some of those ski cities years ago it would be part of it, never understood GUC (Gunnison)

If AA can fly a 757 into EGE, I'm sure AS can get an E175 in. Maybe I'm naive tho and it doesn't work like that?
