Issued March 14, 2007 | Served March 19, 2007

Order Reselecting Carrier

In anticipation of the end of the rate term, the Department issued Order 2007-1-11 on January 22, 2007, soliciting proposals to provide efficient EAS, with subsidy support if necessary a Franklin/Oil City for a new, two-year period.

Although the Department received only one proposal from the incumbent carrier, by letters dated February 27, 2007, we notified community officials and airport manager and solicited any comments they wished to submit. The City of Franklin, The City of Oil City, and Venango County/Venango Regional Airport, submitted comments. All support the reselection of Air Midwest's service to Pittsburgh to continue to serve the community.

By this order, the Department is reselecting Air Midwest to provide subsidized EAS at Franklin/Oil city, PA at an annual subsidy rate of $741,346, for the two-year period of April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2009.
