Page, Arizona, appears fairly remote. It's surrounded by desert on the shores of Lake Powell, just across the border from Utah. And yet, this town with a population of ~7,500 has two daily flights to Phoenix thanks to the Essential Air Service program.
The Essential Air Service program is a government grant that subsidizes airlines to fly to small communities.
"There were some markets that might not be able to get air service without some subsidy," he said."It has allowed some communities to have air service that would not get it without this Essential Air Service program in place."It can really vary. There are minimum requirements for plane sizes and frequencies, but operators have a lot of latitude when it comes to what aircraft they use and what kind of service they offer onboard.
At least on the Page-Phoenix route, which is flown by Contour Airlines, the flights usually take less than an hour and are similar to those operated by mainline airlines with larger planes, according to Schneider. "In today's world, you book on the website if you can, and obviously everybody uses the internet these days or an app," Friedenzohn said."For some people, it might be unique because people aren’t familiar with the particular airline."How do communities qualify?

Hunting for Neighboring Open Clusters with Gaia DR3: 101 New Open Clusters within 500 pcWe systematically searched for open clusters in the solar neighborhood within 500 pc using pyUPMASK and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms based on {\it Gaia} DR3. Taking into consideration that the physical size for most open clusters is less than 50 pc, we adopted a slicing approach for different distance shells and identified 324 neighboring open clusters, including 223 reported open clusters and 101 newly discovered open clusters (named as OCSN, Open Cluster of Solar Neighborhood). Our discovery has increased the number of open clusters in the solar neighborhood by about 45\%. In this work, larger spatial extents and more member stars were attained for our cluster sample. We provided the member stars and the membership probabilities through the pyUPMASK algorithm for each cluster and derived their astrophysical, age, and structural parameters.
