Order 2005-10-10 - EAS at Montana Communities - Requesting Proposals

Essential Air Service at Glasgow, Glendive, Havre, Lewistown, Miles City, Sidney and Wolf, Montana Order 2005-10-10 Issued October 13, 2005 | Served October 18, 2005 Big Sky has operated subsidized service at the seven communities since 1980, when it replaced Frontier Airlines, Inc. During the year ended September 30, 2005, the most recent 12-month period for which data are available, Glasgow averaged 6.4 enplanements a day, Glendive 3.2, Havre 4.8, Lewistown 2.5, Miles City 3.6, Sidney 10.6 and Wolf Point 5.4. On a composite basis, the seven communities averaged a total of 36.6 enplanements a day, an improvement of 36 percent over the previous 12-month period. We expect proposals consisting of service, at a minimum, with two-pilot, twin-engine aircraft with at least 15 passenger seats, and offering 12 round trips a week from each of the communities (except 17 from Sidney) to Billings. As discussed earlier, such service is consistent with what the Department has traditionally subsidized, and fully satisfies the communities' essential air service requirements. By: Todd Homan
