Essential Air Service at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Jackson, Tennessee and Owensboro, Kentucky Order 2008-2-1 Issued February 1, 2008 | Served February 6, 2008 Order Selecting Carrier and Establishing Subsidy Rates | Word By this order, the Department is selecting Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. to provide subsidized essential air service at the above communities for the two-year period beginning when the carrier starts full EAS at all three communities. The communities fully support the selection of Great Lakes, and we find that the carrier’s proposed subsidy rates are reasonable for the service it intends to provide. Great Lakes is fully experienced in operating regional carrier service both as a general matter and within the essential air service program specifically. Moreover, Multi-Aero’s proposals do not meet the statutory minimum aircraft standards and did not receive the requisite endorsement from any of the communities. We note that Great Lakes is continuing discussions with American Airlines to develop a code-share agreement at St. Louis, but our decision here is not contingent on such an agreement.
