On November 12, 2006, Air Midwest (operating as U.S. Airways Express) commenced service to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. These flights include a stop at Cedar City Regional Airport in Cedar City, Utah, because McCarran requires Transportation Security Administration screening not available at Ely Airport.[2] Previously, scheduled service was provided by Scenic Airlines with flights to North Las Vegas Airport and Elko Regional Airport.
