INTRODUCTION Over the past several decades, business aviation has grown substantially.' Although there has been some slowdown as a re- sult of the economy,2 the long term prospects for business avia- tion remain strong. Part of the growth is a result of dissatisfaction with commercial airlines.' A greater portion, how- ever, stems from the heightened awareness of the value of busi- I See, e.g., Teal Predicts 6,908 Business Aircraft Will Be Built in 2002-2011, DEFENSE SYSTEMS DAILY, May 7, 2002 (the business aircraft industry tripled in value be- tween 1995 and 2000); Business Aircraft Deliveries Continue Record Pace, AIN Alerts, AVIATION INT'L NEWS, July 31, 2001 (the business aircraft industry shipped a re- cord number of business aircraft in the first six months of 2001); Andersen, Busi- ness Aviation in Today's Economy - A Shareholder Value Perspective, THE WHITE PAPER, series number 4, Spring 2001, at 2 [hereinafter Andersen White Paper] (the total billings for business aircraft manufacturers in 2000 exceeded $8.6 billion, an increase of 9.1% over the previous year). Part of the increased demand for busi- ness aviation is a result of the development of new and derivative aircraft models. See Honeywell Forecasts Strong Rebound in BusinessJet Deliveries, WKLY. Bus.

  • 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.
