|
Essential Air Service at Brookings, Huron, and Pierre, South Dakota Order 04-07-05 Issued July 6, 2004 | Served July 9, 2004 Order Selecting Carriers and Setting Subsidy Rates By this order, the Department is selecting Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. to continue providing subsidized essential air service at Pierre, and Air Midwest to provide subsidized essential air service at Brookings and Huron, for a two-year period. Great Lakes' service at Pierre is to consist of 12 weekly nonstop round trips to Denver with 19seat Beech 1900-D aircraft, at an annual subsidy of $449,912. Air Midwest's service at Brookings and Huron is to consist of 12 weekly flights routed Huron-Brookings-Omaha-Brookings-Huron, with 19-seat Beech 1900-D aircraft, at an annual subsidy of $2,078,727. We stress that we are very concerned over the low passenger levels and expect both communities to work diligently with Air Midwest to improve traffic levels, which should also result in decreasing subsidy levels in future years.
