Air Choice One

Air Choice One is a small regional airline based in the United States, operating scheduled Essential Air Service (EAS) routes to underserved communities primarily in the Midwest and Southeast. The carrier connects smaller cities to major hubs, providing vital air access to communities that might otherwise lack commercial aviation service. The airline operates under the U.S. Department of Transportation's Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes routes to ensure that smaller markets retain scheduled air connectivity. Air Choice One has served numerous EAS markets over the years, with its route network subject to periodic contract renewals and changes based on government program decisions. Flying with a small fleet of turboprop and piston aircraft, Air Choice One focuses on reliability and accessibility in thin markets where larger carriers do not operate. The airline has built its niche around serving communities in states such as Missouri, Georgia, and surrounding regions.
