Essential Air Service at Williamsport, Pennsylvania

OST-04-17012 - EAS at Williamsport, PA

Issued March 15, 2004 | Served March 18, 2004

Order Allowing Suspension of Service | Word

After careful consideration, we have decided to allow Shuttle America to suspend its service at Williamsport, effective May 1, 2004. Even without Shuttle America's service, Williamsport will still receive the nonstop service operated by Allegheny Airlines to Philadelphia, providing 74 seats outbound and 74 seats inbound, meeting Williamsport's guarantee of 67 seats inbound and outbound each day. In this case, we conclude that the service provided by Allegheny Airlines will meet the core responsibility of the EAS program to provide Williamsport a continuing link to the national air transportation system. In addition, as a code‑share partner of US Airways Express, Allegheny Airlines will be able to offer Williamsport travelers on‑line connecting service through US Airways' system.
