Essential Air Service at Massena, Ogdensburg and Watertown, New York

Order 2008-3-15
OST-1997-2842

Issued and Served March 14, 2008

Order Selecting Carrier and Establishing Subsidy Rate

By this order, the Department is selecting Hyannis Air Service, Inc. d/b/a Cape Air to provide subsidized essential air service at each of the above communities, for the two-year period beginning when the carrier inaugurates full EAS pursuant to this Order, at a total annual subsidy of $3,879,863.

Cape Air filed an inseparable proposal to serve all three communities. The carrier proposes to provide Ogdensburg, Massena, and Watertown with three daily nonstop round trips (21 weekly round trips per community) to Albany with nine-seat Cessna 402 twin-engine aircraft for a total annual subsidy of $3,879,863. While the carrier has a code-share agreement with Continental Airlines for its service at Micronesia, it will serve the three communities without a code-share agreement. Cape Air has interline ticketing and baggage handling agreements with most major carriers and code-share agreements at other points in its system with JetBlue and Continental Airlines. We also understand that Cape Air may bring a maintenance facility to Albany at some point in the future, which may help the carrier ensure the reliability of its service to the three upstate communities.
