CCAIR Inc.

Order 02-3-24
OST-02-11347
Issued March 28, 2002
Served April 2, 2002
Order to Show Cause Terminate Service Between Hickory, North Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina

Order 2002-3-26 is tentatively allowing CCAir, Inc., d/b/ US Airways Express (CCAir) to suspend its scheduled service at Hickory, N.C., on April 16, 2002.  

Under Public Law 106-69, the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2000, the Department is precluded from compensating a carrier under the Essential Air Service program for serving any community within 70 driving miles of a medium or large hub airport. Using a 1996 Rand McNally software program, we have measured the distance from the center of Hickory to the entrance of Charlotte/Douglas International Airport as 54 miles.

We tentatively find, therefore, that we are prohibited from paying subsidy to CCAir for providing air service at Hickory under the EAS program, and thus that we are also precluded from requiring the carrier to continue service at the community after the end of its 90-day notice period. Consistent with program practice, we will give the community 20 days after the service date of this order to file an objection if it believes that we have made a mistake in our distance calculations.

Although we have no authority to require CCAir to continue to serve Hickory after April 16, we note that the community generated a total of 24,761 O&D passengers in the HKY-CLT market for the year ended June 2001. With traffic levels averaging 68 passengers a day, we would encourage other carriers to examine the feasibility of providing service to the community.

Delta and Air France hereby notify the Department that notice given for Delta or either of its connection carrier affiliates, ASA and Comair, should be deemed notice given for all three carriers.

The Department has previously granted Delta and other carriers similar flexibility. See, e. g. , Department Action on Delta/SAA/Comair Application in Docket OST-99-6556 (August 27, 2001).

*Not Previously Released
Order Extending Service Obligation 90-Day Notice of Intent to Terminate Service Muscle Shoals, Alabama

On August 24, 2000, Express Airlines 1, Inc., d/b/a Northwest Airlink, filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its subsidy-free service at Owensboro, KY, Muscle Shoals, AL, and Jackson, TN, effective November 22, 2000. By Order 2000-10-3, October 2, 2000, the Department prohibited Northwest Airlink from suspending service at the communities for an initial 30-day period, through December 22, 2000, and stated that we would issue subsequent 30-day hold-in orders until we could secure replacement service. We issued Order 2001-3-21, selecting Corporate Airlines to provide service at Jackson and Owensboro. That service began on May 1, 2001. At Muscle Shoals, we have extended Northwest Airlink's service obligation for additional 30-day periods, the latest through March 25, 2002, by Order 2002-2-15.

Both Northwest Airlink and Corporate Airlines have submitted subsidy proposals for service at Muscle Shoals. However, since this case will not be completed before the end of the current hold-in period, and as required by 49 U.S.C. 41734, we must continue to hold Northwest Airlink in at Muscle Shoals for an additional 30-day period.

Re:  Request for the of the City of Gallup that they be Retained Under Existing EAS Authorization Ninety-Day Notice for Suspension of Service at Gallup, New Mexico

On behalf of the City Council of the City of Gallup, I hereby request the following: Mesa Airlines be retained under the existing EAS authorization extension until the City Council, in special session, can meet with representative of the four interested carriers. Invitations to them will be sent immediately. We should be able to arrange these discussions in the next few weeks. It is my understanding that a new, interim subsidy rate has already been established with Mesa so this proposed extension should not be a hardship for Mesa. Following these discussions, the City of Gallup can better respond to your February 22,2002 letter. The City of Gallup stresses that the invariable response from both the business community and the discretionary travelers of Gallup and the surrounding region demonstrates both a desire and need for Phoenix service.

OST-96-1638 March 28, 2002 Motion to Withhold Information From Public Disclosure Form 41; Schedule B-7

Counsel:  Northwest, Megan Rae Rosia, 202.842.3193

OST-98-3844 Filed March 7, 2002
Issued March 28, 2002
Notice of Action Taken Minneapolis/St. Paul- Punta Cana, DR

Renew for two years exemption to provide the following service: Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  

Amend exemption: To permit Northwest to integrate the Minneapotis/St. Paul-Punta Cana authority with Northwest's existing certificate and exemption authority to the extent bilaterally permitted.

Northwest's last renewal of exemption authority in this docket included authority to serve the Minneapolis/St. Paul-Santa Domingo market and the Detroit-Cancun market. Northwest states that it is not requesting renewal of this authority here as Northwest has certificate authority to serve the subject markets (Minneapolis/St. Paul-Santa Domingo on Northwest's Route 86-F, Order 86-9-20, and Detroit-Cancun on Northwest's Route 564, Order 2000-5-31).

Order Dismissing Application Scheduled Commuter Air Carrier Operations

On June 8 and August 17, 2001, we requested additional information from SkyMark, in particular, on the financial resources that were available to support its proposed operation. The carrier's responses, dated July 31 and September 4, did not satisfactorily answer our questions. On September 20, SkyMark requested that the Department defer action on its application for six months so that the company might secure the necessary financial resources. We granted this request on the same date. On March 5, 2002, SkyMark informed us that it was unable to conclude arrangements for working capital financing in an amount sufficient to meet the Department's established financial fitness test for new-entrant applicants. The carrier moved that we dismiss its application without prejudice to filing a new application in the future.
