Essential Air Service at Pendleton, Oregon OST-2004-19934 - 90-Day Notice of Intent to Terminate Service at Pendleton, Oregon December 17, 2004 Notice of Intent to Terminate Scheduled Air Service at Pendleton, OR Order 85‑8‑45 set the essential air service determination between Pendleton, Oregon and Portland, Oregon to require each weekday, two nonstop or one‑stop and two nonstop or one‑stop flights on the weekends. Horizon Air is currently operating three one‑stop flights each weekday and two one‑stop flights each weekend day to Portland, Oregon using 37 passenger Bombardier Dash‑8 Q200 aircraft. Though Horizon Air would prefer to continue providing scheduled air service in Pendleton, Oregon, the substantial costs resulting from increased federal regulations, higher fuel and airport costs plus the corresponding loss in revenue from decreasing passenger enplanements makes it impossible to continue without Essential Air Service subsidy. The absence of this subsidy requires Horizon Air to advise the Department of Transportation that scheduled air service will be discontinued. At present, Horizon Air is the sole provider of certificate scheduled air service at Pendleton, Oregon. By: Pat Zachwieja, 206-431-4519

February 3, 2005 Response of Horizon Air Industries d/b/a Horizon Air to Order Requesting Proposals Horizon's proposal uses the 37-seat Q200. The Q200 carries a flight attendant and has a lavatory. Horizon's entire fleet of Q200s is equipped with the "fog buster" HGS head up guidance system, allowing Horizon flights to land at Portland with the lowest landing minimums (Category III). With this system, Horizon also has lower landing minimums at Pendleton. Meaning that Horizon has the ability to complete more flights into Pendleton. This system enables Horizon to maintain schedule reliability and on‑time performance even on poor visibility days. Horizon's fleet is one of the youngest fleets in the nation, which also enhances schedule reliability. On-time performance in 2004 was 85.5 percent'. If compared to the carriers that report their on- time performance to the DOT, this number would be second in the nation for on‑time performance. System-wide schedule completion for 2004 topped 97.5 percent. By: Pat Zachwieja, 206-431-4519, pat.zachwieja@horizonair.com
February 3, 2005 Response of Great Lakes Aviation to Order Requesting Proposals Great Lakes's proposals to provide service at Pendleton all contemplate non‑stop, conveniently timed service to and from either the Portland International Airport or the Seattle Sea‑Tac International Airport. As we operate our service with our code‑share partner United Airlines in Denver, Great Lakes will provide service at this Oregon point as Great Lakes Airlines to PDX, and with code sharing partner United Airlines beyond Portland or Seattle to the extent of their route structure. In addition, Great Lakes maintains interline ticket and baggage agreements with the majority of the other carriers serving PDX and SEA, which allows for maximum utility of our air service to the airline customers flying in and out of Pendleton.

Order 2006-11-19 Issued November 20, 2006 | Served November 24, 2006 As the end of the current contract approaches, we are here requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing service at Pendleton, with or without subsidy, for the two-year period beginning April 3, 2007. With specific respect to Pendleton, we expect proposals consisting of three or four round trips a day to Portland utilizing 19-seat aircraft, or two or three round trips a day with 30-seat or larger aircraft. We encourage proposals that meet those requirements in an efficient manner. Carriers are also welcome to propose more than one service option, if they choose; they need not limit themselves to those requirements if they envision other, potentially more attractive service possibilities -- different hubs, for example -- with subsidy requirements that remain competitive. By: Todd Homan
December 26, 2006 Response of Big Sky Airlines to Order Requesting Proposals Big Sky Transportation pleased to provide a proposal for Essential Air Service at Pendleton, Oregon. It is our belief that our proposal to provide non‑stop service to Portland, Oregon will enhance the level of service and ridership in the community. Big Sky maintains excellent relationships with all of the communities it serves, is an experienced provider of Essential Air service and looks forward to expanding its route network. Big Sky will schedule meetings with the Pendleton community in the near future to discuss our service proposal and provide and overview of Big Sky Airlines. The Big Sky EAS proposal for service is $1,255,673 annually. As the Department is well aware, Big Sky has implemented several operational and marketing programs in the EAS markets it serves, which have resulted in both increased passenger traffic and revenue. The refleeting to the Beechcraft 1900D aircraft has improved the service reliability and customer comfort, which along with the popularity of our EASYFARES has resulted in a greater use of Big Sky Airlines service. Big Sky recently reintroduced EASYTICKET, a bulk ticket purchase program which allows business and governmental agencies the ability to buy groups of tickets at discounted prices for future usage, without restrictions. Big Sky has also shown that it is able to transition an EAS market from another carrier, seamlessly. In fact, it is Big Sky's policy to offer employment to an incumbent's employees at the time of route transition. By: Big Sky, Fred deLeeuw
December 20, 2006 Response of Horizon Air to Order Requesting Proposals By Order 2006-11-19, Horizon proposes to operate pressurized, 37-seat Bombardier Dash 8-Q200 turboprops roundtrip to Portland, Oregon, using a combination of nonstops and one-stops via Pasco, Washington, three times per weekday (Monday-Friday) and two per day on the weekend. The Essential Air Service subsidy required to support this proposal is $748,440. Horizon has served the Pendleton/Eastern Oregon community since 1982 and all service to Portland had been flown subsidy-free until 2005. From 1982-1997, the Portland service was flown predominantly with 18-seat Metro ifis on a nonstop or one stop basis. In 1997, Horizon replaced the Metros with the 37-seat Q200 aircraft. By 1999, Enplanements and Deplanements increased to upwards of 28,000 annually. However, after September 11, 2001, the passenger enplanements dropped almost 50 percent from the 1999 levels. Today, Horizon operates three roundtrip flights per weekday and two each weekend day with Q200s. Horizon is seeking a renewal for Essential Air Service subsidy to continue to serve the community and region with three roundtrip flights per weekday and with two roundtrip flights per weekend day. By: Horizon, Pat Zachwieja
January 4, 2007 DOT Request for Comments of: Horizon Air submitted a proposal that would continue to provide Pendleton with a combination of three one-stop (via Pasco, Washington) or nonstop round trips from Pendleton to Portland each weekday and four over each weekend, utilizing 37-seat Bombardier Q200 aircraft, for an annual subsidy rate of $748,440. This annual subsidy requirement represents an increase of approximately $98,000 over the existing rate. Horizon Air would continue to operate service to Portland with an Alaska Airlines designator. Big Sky Airlines would provide three nonstop round trips between Pendleton and Portland each weekday and four over each weekend, utilizing 19-passenger Beech 1900D aircraft. The annual subsidy requirement for the Big Sky Airlines' proposal is $1,255,673, and an increase of $605,701 when compared to the current contract. Big Sky Airlines would offer connecting services with its code-share partners US Airways, Northwest Airlines and potentially Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air, at Portland. Big Sky also indicated that it has recently entered into an agreement with Delta Airlines and will seek to include its proposed flights in the Delta program. We request that you review the proposals and submit any comments you may have before we submit a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary. We ask that you submit any comments you may have as soon as possible, but in any case no later than February 5, 2006.
January 15, 2007 Support for Horizon Air of:
January 21, 2007 Comments of Eastern Oregon Regional Airport and City of Pendleton The Eastern Oregon Regional Airport and the City of Pendleton strongly support continued commercial air service between Pendleton and Portland with consideration to other hubs as well. The bid of Horizon Air is definitely the less expensive and other than a requested change in schedule, we support and appreciate the service Horizon provides. By: Airport Manager, Larry Dalrymple
February 1, 2007 Re: Letter from Oregon Department of Aviation The current Horizon Air's schedule provides service to/from Portland. We are concerned of the trend of decreasing enplanements and recommend that a partial solution would be to encourage the successful carrier to have an earlier departure in the morning and a later arrival in the evening to enable passengers to have more time to conduct business in Portland. By: Robert Hidley
February 7, 2007 DOT Letter to Congressman Greg Walden Thank you for your letter of January 18 supporting Horizon Air in the ongoing carrier-selection case for air service at Pendleton, Oregon, under the Essential Air Service program and noting the importance of air service to the Pendleton community. As you know, die US. Department of Transportation issued Order 2006-11-19 on November 20, 2006, to solicit proposals from all interested air carriers to provide EAS at Pendleton, for a new, 2-year term. In response to that order, the Department received proposals from Horizon Air and Big Sky Transportation Co. d/b/a Big Sky Airlines. Because the EAS carrier-selection case is competitive and is currently under review by the Department, I am sure you understand that I cannot comment on the merits of the case. I assure you, however, that the Department will fully consider all of the proposals and the community’s views before making a final decision. By: Mary Peters
Order 2007-2-19 Issued February 16, 2007 | Served February 22, 2007 Order Reselecting Carrier and Setting Final Subsidy Rates - Bookmarked By this order, the Department is reselecting Horizon Air Industries, Inc., d/b/a Horizon Air, operating as Alaska Airlines, Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines code-share partners, to provide subsidized essential air service at Pendleton, Oregon, for an annual subsidy rate of $748,440, for the period from April 3, 2007, through April 30, 2009. By: Andrew Steinberg
March 29, 2007 DOT Letters to Oregon Senators I am happy to inform you that the Department has recently issued Order 2007-2-19 reselecting Horizon Air to continue providing essential air service at Pendleton for a two-year rate term. As you know, the selection of Horizon Air was fully supported by the community. By: Andrew Steinberg
June 27, 2008 Re: Notice of Termination of Service of Horizon Air Horizon Air Industries, Inc. respectfully serves notice upon the Department of Transportation to discontinue scheduled subsidized Essential Air Service between Pendleton, Oregon and Portland, Oregon effective October 27, 2008. Order 2007-2-19, dated February 22, 2005, awarded Horizon Air with a service agreement at an annual subsidy of $748,440 for a two year term that commenced on April 3, 2007 and expiries on April 30, 2009 for 3 roundtrip flights each weekday and 2 roundtrip flights each weekend day between Pendleton, Oregon and Portland Oregon (with some flights stopping in Pasco, Washington) utilizing 37 passenger Bombardier Dash-8 Q200 aircraft. Though Horizon Air would prefer to continue providing scheduled air service in Pendleton, Oregon, the substantial costs resulting from higher fuel costs, and higher operating costs, plus retirement of the Dash-8 Q200 from the fleet, makes it impossible to continue without additional Essential Air Service subsidy. The absence of this subsidy requires Horizon Air to advise the Department of Transportation that scheduled air service will be discontinued. At present, Horizon Air is the sole provider of certificate scheduled air service at Pendleton, Oregon. By: Horizon Air, Dan Russo, 206-431-4513
Order 2008-7-10 Issued July 7, 2008 | Served July 10, 2008 Order Prohibiting Termination of Service and Requesting Proposals | Word By this order, the Department is: (a) prohibiting Horizon Air Industries, Inc., d/b/a Horizon Air, operating as Alaska Airlines, Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines code-share partners, from terminating its subsidized service at Pendleton, Oregon, for 30 days beyond the end of its 90-day notice period; and (b) requesting long-term proposals from carriers interested in providing essential air service, with or without subsidy, by July 21, 2008. With specific respect to Pendleton, the Department expects proposals consisting of either three round trips a day (18 a week) with 19-passenger aircraft or two daily round trips (14 a week) with 30-seat or larger aircraft between Pendleton and Portland, Seattle, or another suitable hub where connections to the national air transportation system can be made. We would entertain additional frequencies if Pendleton would be served in conjunction with another community, e.g., as it is now served with Pasco over a Pendleton-Pasco-Portland routing.

July 18, 2008 Re: DOT Granting Request of SkyWest for Extension of Proposal Date Sky West Airlines Inc. has requested an extension, from July 21, 2008, until August 4, 2008, to evaluate whether it will file a proposal to provide Essential Air Service at Pendleton, Oregon for a two-year period. This is to advise all parties that we have decided to grant the requested extension to file proposals. Proposals must be received by no later than August 4, 2008. By: Dennis DeVany
July 15, 2008 Re: City of Pendleton Objection to Termination of Service the City of Pendleton requests that the Department of Transportation provide continuation of the existing service or provide replacement service that provides: (a) Direct service to Portland, Oregon; and (b) Code share with airlines that provide regularly, scheduled service north and south and east and west, or similar through major hub airports. This request is based on the natural market need between Pendleton and Portland which is greater than the need between Pendleton and Seattle. By: Mayor Phillip Houk
July 21, 2008 By Order 2008-7-10, Horizon proposes to operate pressurized, 76-seat Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 turboprops roundtrip to Seattle, Washington, using a combination of nonstops and one-stops via Walla Walla, Washington, two times per weekday (Monday-Friday) and one time per each weekend day (Saturdays and Sundays).

August 4, 2008 Proposal of Hyannis Air Service d/b/a Cape Air Cape Air proposes 5x Daily Non-Stop Round Trips to/from Portland, Oregon. Cape Air would serve Pendleton with Cessna 402s, the workhorse of Cape Air Air’s fleet. Counsel: Cape Air, Andrew Bonney, 508-790-3122 x519
August 5, 2008 Request for Community Comments of: In response to Horizon Air's June 28, 2008 notice, the Department issued Order 2008-7-10 on July 7, 2008, prohibiting Horizon Air from terminating its subsidized service at Pendleton, for 30 days beyond the end of its 90-day notice period; and requesting long-term proposals from carriers interested in providing EAS, for a new two-year period. In response to that order, the Department received proposals from Horizon Air and Hyannis Air Service, Inc., d/b/a Cape Air. We request that you review the proposals and submit any comments you may have before we submit a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary. We ask that you submit any comments you may have as soon as possible, but in any case no later than September 9, 2008. By: Dennis DeVany
August 6, 2008 Re: City of Pendleton in Support of Waiver of 15-or-More Passenger-Seat Standard At its regular meeting on August 5, 2008, the Pendleton City Council adopted a motion to support a waiver of the 15-or-more-passenger-seat standard. We understand that the waiver would be for the two year term of the contract under consideration at this time and not be binding in perpetuity. By: Mayor Phillip Houk, 541-966-0230
August 20, 2008 Re: City of Pendleton Rejecting All Proposals On August, 19, 2008, the Pendleton City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the proposals by Horizon Air and Cape Air for essential air service to Pendleton. After approximately two hours of testimony by representatives of the two airlines and members of the public the city council adopted a motion recommending that the Department of Transportation reject both proposals and seek additional proposals. The City Council is aware of the fact that the delay caused by the re-bid process may mean that Pendleton will be without air service for the period necessary to solicit, evaluate, and award a new contract and for the new contractor to establish service. The city asks that Horizon be released from its obligations under the current EAS contract on November 28, or later if possible. Counsel: City of Pendleton, Peter Wells, 541-966-0206
Issued September 2, 2008 | Served September 5, 2008 By this order, the Department is: (a) requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing EAS for a new two-year term, with or without subsidy a second time, by September 23, 2008; and (b) allowing Horizon Air Industries, Inc., d/b/a Horizon Air to suspend service at Pendleton, Oregon, on November 28, 2008. In response to Order 2008-7-10, the Department received proposals from Horizon Air and Hyannis Air Service, Inc., d/b/a Cape Air. Horizon Air submitted a proposal that would provide Pendleton with a combination of two one-stop (via Walla Walla, Washington) or nonstop round trips from Pendleton to Seattle each weekday and each weekend, utilizing 76-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft, for an annual subsidy rate of $1,488,364. Cape Air proposed to provide five daily nonstop round trips between Pendleton and Portland, utilizing 9-seat Cessna 402 aircraft, for an annual subsidy rate of $2,849,307. By letter dated August 5, 2008, the Mayor of Pendleton notified the Department that the City Council would be willing to waive, for the current two-year term under consideration, the 15-seat or more passenger seat standard that is typically guaranteed under EAS statutes. On August 20, 2008, the Pendleton City Council recommended that the Department: (1) reject both proposals; (2) release Horizon Air from its obligations under the current EAS contract on November 28, or later if possible; and (3) re-solicit proposals for EAS. In its letter, the City Council also recognized that its requests may result in a hiatus of air service, at least until the carrier-selection process is complete and a new carrier is able to commence full EAS. After carefully reviewing all of the facts in this case, including the comments submitted by the community, we have decided to: (a) request proposals from carriers interested in providing EAS for a new two-year term, with or without subsidy a second time, by September 23, 2008; and (b) allow Horizon Air to suspend service on November 28, 2008. By: Michael Reynolds
September 23, 2008 Proposal of Alaska Juneau Aeronautics d/b/a SeaPort Airlines SeaPort Airlines respectfully submits this proposal to provide subsidized essential air service to the community and residents of Pendleton Oregon. SeaPort Airlines (Seaport) holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing, and finding SeaPort fit to engage in, scheduled interstate air transportation of persons, property, and mail, and has been doing so for the past 26 years. Our company's foundation is built on service to rural communities. Both SeaPort Airlines and its sister company Wings of Alaska are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SeaPort Air Group, LLC--a Portland-based company owned by three Oregon families. SeaPort proposes three round trips per day between Pendleton (PDT) and Portland (PDX), seven days per week. This service level will offer more than enough inventory to provide for the historical traffic of the last several years, while keeping capacity "right-sized" and avoiding an unnecessary flooding of empty seats and higher operating costs. In addition, we have constructed the schedule to maximize traffic flow with flights morning, midday and evening. SeaPort does believes that traffic will increase in year two as the speed and convenience of our service become more familiar to Pendleton residents.By: Seaport, Robert McKinney
September 23, 2008 In response to Order 2008-9-1, Horizon is pleased to offer three proposals as distinct options for serving the Pendleton, Oregon market:
Horizon feels that the Pendleton community is very important to not only Horizon, but to the entire Alaska Air Group network. Horizon desires to continue providing uninterrupted service to its customers in Pendleton, and looks forward to working with the community on ways to improve the traffic levels out of Pendleton. Horizon believes these proposals maintain high-quality air service in the community and leave room for enplanements to grow. The proposals maintain two flights Monday-Friday and one each on Saturdays and Sundays. To operate these schedules and to give Pendleton quality access to the national and international air transportation network, Horizon seeks an Essential Air Service subsidy of $1,488,364 for Option A or $2,324,619 for Option B or $3,182,266 for Option C.

September 24, 2008 Re: Request for Community Comments of:
Horizon Air, operating with an Alaska Airlines designator and utilizing 76‑seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft, submitted a proposal with three distinct service options. Option A would provide Pendleton with a combination of two one‑stop (via Walla Walla, Washington) or nonstop round trips from Pendleton to Seattle each weekday and two over each weekend, for an annual subsidy rate of $1,488,364. Under Option B, Horizon Air would provide Pendleton with one one‑stop (via Walla Walla) round trip to Seattle each weekday and two over each weekend and one one‑stop (via Pasco, Washington) round trip each weekday from Pendleton to Portland, Oregon, for $2,324,619. Horizon Air's Option C would provide Pendleton with two nonstop round trips from Pendleton to Portland each weekday and two over each weekend, for an annual subsidy rate of $3,182,266. Pacific Wings, utilizing 9‑seat Cessna 208‑B Grand Caravan aircraft, would provide Pendleton with a combination of two daily one‑stop (via Pasco) and two daily nonstop round trips from Pendleton to Portland, for an annual subsidy rate of $2,318,246. SeaPort would provide three daily nonstop round trips between Pendleton and Portland, utilizing 9-seat Pilatus-PC-12 aircraft, for an annual subsidy rate of $1,566,729 for the first year of service and $1,608,394 for the second. Provided that the community waives the twin-engine and 15-or-more passenger-seat requirements, the Department will consider the three proposals summarized above. As before, we would consider this wavier to apply only to the new two-year term under consideration at this time. (i.e., we would not assume that the community waives its rights in perpetuity.) Please note that the average passenger fares shown in the proposals do not necessarily reflect the average local fare passengers would actually pay, but, rather, reflect a prorated portion of the total ticket price (e.g., the Pendleton-Portland portion of a Pendleton-Portland-Los Angeles ticket) that the subsidized carrier would realize. Also, the fare shown is net of certain charges such as Federal transportation security fees, excise or ticket taxes, and -Passenger Facility Charges. Of course, carriers have the discretion to charge fares they deem appropriate, and the passenger fare presented in the proposal has been developed for subsidy rate computation purposes only. Based on the cost elements incorporated in the carrier's computation summary, the carrier would have to realize passenger fares comparable to the averages shown in their proposals in order to achieve break-even or profitable operations without subsidy.By: Dennis DeVany
October 8, 2008 Re: City of Pendleton in Support of SeaPort The City Council adopted a motion to waive the requirement for at least twin engine aircraft and to recommend the proposal by SeaPort for three round trips a day in the 9-seat Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. Counsel: Peter Wells, 541-966-0206 |
