Order 2008-2-10- EAS at Akhiok, AK - Selecting Carrier and Establishing Subsidy Rate
|
Essential Air Service at Akhiok, Alaska Order 2008-2-10 Issued February 6, 2008 | Served February 11, 2008 Order Selecting Carrier and Establishing Subsidy Rate By this order, the Department is selecting Servant Air, Inc. to provide subsidized essential air service at Akhiok, Alaska, for the two-year period beginning when the carrier inaugurates scheduled passenger service pursuant to this order, at an annual subsidy of $51,079 for service to Kodiak with 5-seat PA-32R-300 Piper Lance aircraft. After carefully considering the proposals submitted by both carriers, as well as the community’s comments, we have decided to select Servant Air’s proposal to provide EAS at Akhiok at an annual subsidy of $51,709, for a new, two-year term beginning when the carrier inaugurates its full schedule of service at the community. We note that Servant Air’s proposal requires slightly more subsidy than the Island Air’s -- $51,709 compared to $46,032. However, the elected officials support the selection of Servant Air, and we will accede to their wishes given the relatively modest difference in subsidy. Further, we find that the carrier’s proposed service and subsidy levels are reasonable and the carrier is providing satisfactory EAS at other communities on Kodiak Island. By: Todd Homan
