Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020. -
The Political Economy of the Essential Air Service Program
Department of Economics Working Paper Series The Political Economy of the Essential Air Service Program Joshua Hall, Amanda Ross and Christopher Yencha Working Paper No. 15-18 This paper can be found at the College of Business and Economics Working Paper Series homepage: http://be.wvu.edu/phd_economics/working-papers.htm The Political Economy of the Essential Air Service Program Joshua Hall* Associate Professor of Economics West Virginia University PO Box 6025 Morgantown, WV 26506 [email protected] Amanda Ross West Virginia University PO Box 6025 Morgantown, WV 26506 [email protected] Christopher Yencha West Virginia University PO Box 6025 Morgantown, WV 26506 [email protected] Abstract We find that congressional influences affect the amount of airport subsidies that a congressional district receives from the Essential Air Service (EAS) program. The EAS program was passed with the goal of helping to continue commercial air service to rural communities following the deregulation of the airline industry. Using subsidy data from 1998-2014, we find strong evidence that subsidies are higher in districts having congressional representation on the House Transportation Committee. Representation on the House Appropriations Committee is also associated with higher subsidies. Our empirical results, combined with news reports, are consistent with the EAS serving private as well as public interests. Keywords: congressional dominance, deregulation, airports JEL Codes: D73, L93 * Corresponding author. The authors would like to acknowledge the helpful comments of E. Frank Stephenson, John Dove, Jamie Bologna, and session participants at the 2015 Public Choice Society meetings in San Antonio, TX. The political economy of the Essential Air Service program 1 Introduction The structure of the airline industry in the United States changed dramatically in 1978 with the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act (ADA). -

Faulk, Scott (OST) From: Sanchez, Jessica <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2021 1:17 PM To: Faulk, Scott (OST) Cc: [email protected] Subject: EAS Kalaupapa: Request for Resident, Worker, and Political Support of Mokulele "Option A" CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the Department of Transportation (DOT). Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Aloha Scott, My name is Jessica Sanchez, I am a worker/resident of the Kalaupapa/Molokai Community. I am also a grandchild of 5 patients of Kalaupapa. (3 Deceased, 2 living) The importance of this letter is not only for me but for my kupuna. I've been flying to Kalaupapa since the age of 4, I have seen many airlines throughout the years servicing Kalaupapa, my family and I have only seen 2 great airlines service(Molokai Air shuttle and Makani Kai Air) accommodate to the Kalaupapa Community, especially the Patients. Their prices were reasonable as well as a great time schedule, it was sad to see their business shutdown because another airline came in and out-bid them. This email is regarding the Essential Air Service for Kalaupapa. We hope that MOKULELE AIRLINES BY SOUTHERNAIRWAYS RECEIVES the EAS. It seems that the best Options for Kalaupapa would be OPTION A. These flights are very important to all community members of Kalaupapa residents/workers. Most of the workers down here are from Topside Molokai. It is also important that they have included Direct Flights to O'ahu for our Patients to be comfortable in-flight, especially with them getting up there in age. -

Bakalářská Práce Lidský Faktor Jako Příčina Vzniku Letecké Nehody
Vysoká škola regionálního rozvoje a Bankovní institut - AMBIS Katedra: Bezpečnosti a práva BAKALÁŘSKÁ PRÁCE LIDSKÝ FAKTOR JAKO PŘÍČINA VZNIKU LETECKÉ NEHODY Autor: Karel Novotný Bezpečnostní management v regionech Vedoucí práce: Ing. Magdaléna Náplavová, Ph.D. Brno 2019 Poděkování Za cenné rady, náměty a inspiraci bych rád poděkoval Ing. Magdaléně Náplavové Ph.D. a kolegovi Ing. Tomášovi Chlebečkovi, Ph.D. za čas, trpělivost a energii, kterou mi ochotně věnoval při konzultacích. Anotace Bakalářská práce se zabývá problematikou leteckých nehod způsobených selháním lidského faktoru. Ačkoliv byl člověk vždy nejvýznamnějším činitelem v řetězci událostí vedoucích k leteckému neštěstí, teprve v poslední době se objevují snahy tento problém správně pojmenovat a navrhnout funkční protiopatření. Teoretická část pojednává o příčinách lidského selhání a popisuje nově vyvinutý systém, který si klade za cíl toto selhání správně pochopit a analyzovat. Praktická část je tvořena kompletním výčtem a následnou analýzou leteckých nehod spadajících do vymezené kategorie civilního dopravního letectví, které se staly v letech 2013 - 2017. Závěr práce obsahuje některá řešení, která mohou napomoci ke snížení negativního vlivu lidského faktoru jako příčiny největšího počtu leteckých katastrof.

Annotation The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of air accidents caused by human factor failure. Although man has always been the most important actor in the chain of events leading to air disaster, there have been recent attempts to name this problem and propose functional countermeasures. The theoretical part deals with the causes of human failure and describes a newly developed system, which aims to understand and analyze this failure correctly. -

[email protected] 24/hr. Media Line: 720-583-5758 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Denver International Airport Welcomes Southern Airways Express as Newest Carrier Southern Airways Express becomes DEN’s 23rd airline with nonstop flights to Chadron, Nebraska DENVER – June 21, 2021 – Denver International Airport (DEN) is pleased to welcome its newest airline, Southern Airways Express. Southern Airways was selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide Essential Air Service (EAS) to Chadron, Nebraska (CDR) using nine-seat King Air 200 aircraft. Southern Airways will provide 12 weekly round trips between DEN and Chadron beginning today, Monday, June 21. “I’d like to give a warm welcome to Southern Airways Express into the DEN family as our 23rd airline,” said DEN CEO Kim Day. “We applaud Southern Airways for their commitment to serving our regional passengers and providing a key link into DEN’s connecting network.
