Order 2008-5-18
OST-2000-7138

Issued May 14, 2008 | Served May 19, 2008

Order Requesting Proposals | Word

By this order, the Department is requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing essential air service at Huron, South Dakota, for a new two-year period, with or without subsidy, beginning October 1, 2008.

By Order 2006-8-11, August 11, 2006, the Department selected Great Lakes Aviation, to provide subsidized EAS at Huron for the two-year period through September 30, 2008. That order established an annual subsidy rate of $793,733, for service consisting of 12 nonstop or one-stop round trips to Denver International Airport each week with 19-seat Beech 1900D.

Great Lakes has served Huron since October 2006 and traffic has steadily increased, almost doubling in the number of enplanements since 2004. In 2007, Huron generated a total of 5,412 O&D passengers, an average of 8.6 enplanements per day. That represents a significant increase in the 3,265 passengers (an average of 5.2 enplanements per day) it generated in 2006.
