90 Day Notice To Terminate Scheduled Air Service Between Salina, Kansas and Kansas City, Kansas |
| Attachments: Map, Historical Enplanements |
Order 2002-3-31 is prohibiting Air Midwest, Inc., d/b/a US Airways Express (Air Midwest), from terminating its unsubsidized service at Salina, Kansas; (b) requiring the carrier to maintain service between the community and Kansas City, Missouri, for an initial 30-day period following the end of the notice period; and (c) requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing replacement service at the community. Proposals due April 23, 2002.
Salina is guaranteed to receive at least a minimum level of air service under the Essential Air Service (EAS) program by virtue of the fact that it received service from a certificated carrier on October 24, 1978, the date the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was signed into law. (See 49 U.S.C. 41731-41742 for the EAS program's governing statutes.) On January 23, 2002, Air Midwest filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its unsubsidized scheduled air service at Salina, effective on April 24, 2002. Air Midwest is the only carrier serving the Salina community. Air Midwest's service consists of two daily nonstop and one daily one-stop round trips to Kansas City International Airport. Air Midwest uses 19-seat, Beech 1900.-D turboprop aircraft to serve the community.
