Order 98-5-21 | OST-97-3022 | Issued May 13, 1998 | Served May 19, 1998

Order to Show Cause - Proposing Issuance of Certificate Authority

Servant Air plans to commence its operations by providing scheduled passenger service three days per week over a Fairbanks-Central-Circle routing using one leased three-seat Cessna 172 aircraft.  Servant Air provided a detailed estimate of its expenses for the first year of its proposed operations. The company has indicated that its pre-operating expenses will total nearly $9,000 and has estimated that it will incur $55,420 in operating expenses for its first year of proposed operations. We have examined these estimates and find them to be reasonable. Based on our analysis of Servant Air's forecasts, it appears that the applicant will need access to resources of $22,377 to meet the Department's financial fitness criteria.
