SkyWest Airlines provided Essential Air Service (EAS) from 1972 until 2005 when Air Midwest, a subsidiary of Mesa Airlines was awarded the contract.^[5] Mayor Gerald Sherratt was quoted as saying “This is not good” when told the news about Mesa being awarded the contract.^[6] Citizens wrote to senator Orrin Hatch which prompted him in 2007 to write a letter to the United States Department of Transportation to urge them to select a new carrier to provide air service to Cedar City.^[7] Late in 2007, Mesa filed to discontinue service to Cedar City,^[8] and a new contract was awarded to SkyWest.^[9]

Western Airlines flew to Cedar City in the 1940s; Bonanza Air Lines DC-3s replaced them in 1957–58. Bonanza Fairchild F-27s flew Phoenix–Prescott–Grand Canyon Airport–Page–Cedar City–Salt Lake City.
