Essential Air Service at Joplin, Missouri Order 2006-6-1 Issued June 2, 2006 | Served June 7, 2006 Order Extending Service Obligation On February 10, 2006, Trans States filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its subsidized service at Joplin as of May 11. By Order 2006-3-4, March 6, 2006, the Department prohibited Trans States from suspending service and requested proposals, with subsidy if necessary, from carriers interested in providing replacement service. By Order 2006-5-11, May 12, 2006, the Department selected Air Midwest to provide subsidized essential air service at Joplin for a new, two-year period, beginning when the carrier inaugurates service, which is tentatively scheduled for August 1. Because the carrier transition will not have taken place by the end of the current hold-in period, in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 41734(c), we will extend Trans States' service obligation at Joplin for an additional 30 days, or until Air Midwest actually begins service, whichever occurs first. By this order, the Department of Transportation extends the service obligation of Trans States Airlines, Inc., d/b/a American Connection at Joplin, Missouri, for an additional 30 days, through July 12, 2006.
