Without this airport, travelling out of the region, while not being impossible, would be infeasible for many people. There is currently no public ground transportation in and out of Crescent City. The nearest small metro area is the Medford-Grants Pass area, two hour to the northeast, which is also the center of the nearest non-subsidized commercial airport. The two nearest large metropolitan areas are Portland, Oregon, around six hours to the north, and San Francisco, six hours to the south. There are about 50,000 potential customers for this airport. Del Norte County has around 28,000 people, and adjoining Curry County in Oregon has around 22,000 people. While I talked about Essential Air Service on its own, I want to talk about this airport as a specific example. In 2019, the year before the Covid-19 pandemic, it carried a little over 9000 passengers a year, and in 2020, this decreased to around 4,000 passengers. The airport is owned by Del Norte County and currently has one scheduled commercial flight a day, subsidized through the Essential Air Service program, flying to Oakland International Airport in Oakland, California. The Del Norte County Regional Airport (subtitled, on their website at least, with "At Jack McNamara Field") is an airport with regularly scheduled passenger service, located in Crescent City, California.
