Order Requesting Proposals | Word

As the end of the current rate term approaches, we are here requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing service at Healy Lake with or without subsidy, for the two-year period beginning June 1, 2006.

With specific respect to Healy Lake, we expect proposals consisting of service, at a minimum, with small aircraft (e.g., Cessna 206 or 207) and offering two nonstop round trips each week to Fairbanks or any other suitable hub.  Further, flights meeting essential air service guidelines at Alaskan communities must provide sufficient capacity to accommodate both cargo and passenger demand.  Such service is generally consistent with what the community currently receives, and fully satisfies its essential air service requirements.  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.

Issued February 20, 2008 | Served February 25, 2008

Order Requesting Proposals

By this order, the Department is requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing essential air service at Chisana and/or Healy Lake, Alaska, for a new two-year period, with or without subsidy, beginning June 1, 2008.

By Order 2006-4-11, April 7, 2006, the Department selected 40-Mile Air, Ltd., to provide EAS at Healy Lake for the two-year period through May 31, 2008. That order established an annual subsidy rate of $71,105, for service consisting of two nonstop round trips each week to Fairbanks with 5-seat Cessna 206 or 207 aircraft.

By Order 2006-6-29, June 23, 2006, the Department selected 40-Mile Air to provide EAS at Chisana for the two-year period through June 30, 2008. That order established an annual subsidy rate of $75,743, for service consisting of two nonstop round trips each week to Tok with Cessna 185 (3 seats) or Cessna 206/207 (4 seats) aircraft.

We request proposals for two nonstop round trips a week to between Chisana and Tok, and between Healy Lake and Fairbanks, with small aircraft (10 seats or less).

Proposal of 40-Mile Air

First, you will notice that there are two rates for cargo. The extra one is a space available rate. For the last several years, we have offered this rate to the residents of Chisana so they can get fuel into the community at a reasonable cost. Consequently, the bulk of the cargo for the last two years was fuel that was moved at that rate.

Secondly, there is again a large question mark as to what the quantity of mail will be in the future. The post office has recently imposed a large increase in the mail rates. So far this has translated, as you can see in the fourth quarter of 2007 and so far in the first quarter of 2008, into substantially lower mail volumes.

The last thing is that I have again included the Cessna 185 in my proposal for Chisana. We operate this aircraft on sleds in the winter. Occasionally a plowed runway is not available in Chisana and utilizing this aircraft allows us to continue to operate the Essential Air Service.

Route TKJ-CZN-TKJ
Frequency 2 Round Trips per Week
