John Murtha Johnstown Cambria County Airport
John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport (JST) serves Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a city known for the devastating 1889 flood and its history in steel and coal production. Named after longtime U.S. Representative John Murtha, who secured significant federal funding for the airport, JST has historically operated with subsidized commercial service under the Essential Air Service program due to limited local demand, connecting Johnstown to hub airports like Washington Dulles. The airport has drawn scrutiny over the years for the relatively high per-passenger subsidy costs given its low traffic volumes, making it a frequently cited example in debates over federal Essential Air Service funding for small regional airports in Appalachia.
