First and foremost we extend our thoughts to everyone affected by COVID-19 and our gratitude to first responders and airport workers both here and worldwide. As always, our primary responsibility is the safety and health of our passengers, airport users, and airport employees. As the pandemic started to take hold, we implemented an Airport COVID-19 Task Force to deliver accurate and timely information on the spread of the virus and to provide measures that would allow the mitigation and spread of the virus within the Airport. These measures worked effectively and as the year came to a welcomed close, the Airport implemented low-cost COVID-19 saliva-base testing to all travelers and Staff. As a result of these and other measures, the airport received the Global Biorisk Advisory Council’s (GBAC) full GBAC SAR Accreditation and the Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) from the Airports Council International (ACI) World. As this is being written, vaccinations are being done throughout the country, and it is our hope that this will bring an end to this crisis. The pandemic caused unimaginable reductions in the number of domestic airline passengers that went from 841 million in 2019, to an estimated 358 million in 2020. This decrease, 483 million (57.4 percent), brought passenger levels back to those last experienced in 2004. Not all too dissimilar results were experienced by this Airport, as enplanement levels also declined, from 1.518 million in 2019 to approximately 520 thousand in 2020, a decrease of 65.7 percent. As vaccinations increase and we transition to a “new” normal, we expect passenger levels to trend upward above 2020 levels but still well below those experienced in 2019. The year, however, was not without its successes. In addition to the notoriety and world acclaim from our rapid COVID response and achievements mentioned above, the airport opened its new $43.8 million 1,000 space parking garage, completed $11.6 in terminal improvements and constructed an airport gateway sign welcoming visitors to the Capital Region. These projects were made possible with a $22.1 million grant funded by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The Airport also teamed with GE Research & Development and GE Aviation and was designated a digital incubator for post COVID technology. The close of 2020 marked the completion of the fifth and final year of the current five-year Airport Use and Lease Agreement and Common Cargo Carrier Airfield Use Agreement. This agreement was renegotiated for a one-year term with options that may extend up to five years ensuring the Airport’s most important aviation business relationships are soundly in place for years to come. In 2021, the Airport Authority will undertake a Master Plan process, the first in nearly 20 years, and will continue to both operate and improve Airport facilities and operations, in accordance with its adopted budget and capital plans. In the coming year, under the leadership of our Chief Executive Officer, Philip Calderone, the Airport Authority will continue our mission to provide travelers with outstanding service in full recognition that our success as an airport is dependent on the skills and dedication of all the employees at Albany International Airport.

  • Essential Air Service Proposal Brainerd, MN DOT-OST-2011-0135
    Essential Air Service Proposal Brainerd, MN DOT-OST-2011-0135 August 19, 2020 About Boutique Air Our Story Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Boutique Air has been in operation since 2007. We began by flying fire surveillance missions for the U.S. Forestry Service and Bureau of Land Management. We evolved to provide air charter services across the west coast with our fleet of Pilatus and Cessna aircraft. As a charter operator we have received certifications from both industry-leading safety organizations, ARG/US and Wyvern. Boutique Air employs pilots that are highly experienced and hold the most advanced FAA ratings - a key reason for our continued perfect safety record. In July of 2012, Boutique Air applied for commuter operating authority from the Department of Transportation. We quickly passed tests on financial fitness and management competency, receiving authority for scheduled service in January of 2014. We began flying scheduled service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in January of 2014. We have worked to develop effective distribution channels. We have connections in place with all of the major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), which travel agents use to access the market. You will find us on Worldspan and Galileo (Travelport), Sabre, and Amadeus. In addition, we are on the major Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), including Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz, CheapTickets, and CheapOAir. EAS Contracts On April 22, 2014 Boutique Air received its first EAS contract when the DOT selected the airline to provide service between Clovis, New Mexico and Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. Since then, we have continued our track record of success and now serve 16 different EAS communities and operate out of 30 different airports.

  • Proposals from Air Carriers for the Various EAS Communities for the Continuation of Air Service
    City of Grand Island Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Council Session Item I-1 #2021-19 - Consideration of Approving Letter of Support for Essential Air Service (EAS) to the Department of Transportation (DOT) Staff Contact: Mike Olson, Executive Director of CNRA Grand Island Council Session - 1/26/2021 Page 1 / 25 Council Agenda Memo From: Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator Meeting: January 26, 2021 Subject: Essential Air Service Recommendation Presenter(s): Mike Olson, AAE, Executive Director Hall County Airport Authority Background The Department of Transportation developed a program entitled Essential Air Service (EAS) several years ago to assure that smaller rural communities would be provided with passenger air service. The program provides subsidies to commercial air carriers to offset the cost of offering such service in areas where ridership cannot be to the level to achieve profitability. This program is intended to help small communities in economic development, community development and population stabilization. Hall County has benefited from this program over the last few years by assuring that the area continued flight service for citizens and businesses. Every two years the Department of Transportation asks for proposals from air carriers for the various EAS communities for the continuation of air service. Proposals from American Airlines, SkyWest, and Boutique Air were submitted for the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. A summary of the proposals are attached for City Council review. Discussion The Airport Authority Board, in a letter to Mayor Steele, is requesting concurrence from the City for the formal request to the Department of Transportation for the Essential Air Service. This is a requirement of the DOT on matters such as this.

    Order 2018-7-12 July 16, 2018 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. Issued by the Department of Transportation on the 16th of July, 2018 Essential Air Service at PRESCOTT, ARIZONA DOCKET DOT-OST-1996-1899 (FAIN 69A3451860460)1 under 49 U.S.C. § 41731 et seq. ORDER SELECTING AIR CARRIER Summary By this Order, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) is selecting SkyWest Airlines, Inc., operating as United Express (SkyWest), to provide Essential Air Service (EAS) at Prescott, Arizona, for the period from August 1, 2018, through August 31, 2020, using 50-seat CRJ-200 aircraft. SkyWest will provide Prescott with 12 weekly round trips to Denver International Airport (DEN) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for an annual subsidy of $3,983,055. Background By Order 2017-2-14 (February 23, 2017), the Department selected Great Lakes Airlines to provide EAS at Prescott, with 12 weekly nonstop round trips to LAX, using 30-seat Brasilia EMB-120 aircraft, for an annual subsidy of $2,798,419.

After the close of business on March 26, 2018, the Department received an e-mail from Great Lakes stating, “All revenue flying is ending tonight.” Great Lakes suspended all of its operations, including those at Prescott, notwithstanding that 49 U.S.C. § 41734 prohibits the carrier from suspending service before 90 days.2 As a result, the Department issued an emergency request for replacement service by Order 2018-3-25 (March 27, 2018) for both long- term and short-term emergency replacement service.
