DATED this ____ day of December, 2016. CITY OF PAGE By: _____________________________ CITY CLERK'S OFFICE CITY OF PAGE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION NEW BUSINESS 1. City Council Special Agenda Meeting Date: 12/27/2016 Brief Title: Essential Air Service Presented by: Crystal Dyches, City Manager Department: City Manager Action: Motion RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to ____________________. BACKGROUND: At the December 12, 2016, joint City Council/Airport Advisory Board Work session, the Council and Board members heard presentations from Via Air, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd, and Boutique Air regarding their proposals to provide Essential Air Service for the City of Page. Sky West Airlines did not submit a proposal, but asked the City Council to make a request to the Department of Transportation (DOT) to Re-bid Essential Air Service. At the December 14, 2016 City Council Meeting, the City Council passed a motion to "recommend that the (DOT) re-bid the proposals for Essential Air Service for the City of Page Municipal Airport" Mayor Diak, Vice Mayor Kocjan, Councilors Warner and Seyler voting in favor, and Councilors Bryan, Sadler, and Tappan voting against. Staff has since learned that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that commercial airports flying category C-11 aircraft (Via Air's ERJ-145 and Sky West's CRJ-200) have a standard runway safety area (RSA) of 1000. In addition, the Page Airport TSA Holding Area would need to expand to hold a minimum of 30 passengers. The Page Airport has can accommodate an RSA of approximately 600 feet on the North and 400 feet on the South. Our Airport Engineer Rich Graham (C&S Companies) has advised: “The safety area beyond departure end needs to be 1,000 feet. The safety area before the threshold needs to be 600 feet (see attached page from the FAA Advisory Circular). The 1,000-foot departure end safety area can be reduced to 600 feet using EMAS, but the 600-foot approach safety area cannot be decreased. While the 600-foot safety area on the north side can be achieved with minimal changes to the airport property boundary and fence line (see attached image), to get 600 feet off the south end is going to require a significant amount of earthwork and property acquisition because there is a wash/eroded channel right outside the fence (see attached image – yellow line ends at 600 feet). The estimated $7.5 million cost of EMAS does not make this a feasible option now. With all that would be involved in constructing the safety areas to the standards for a jet airline, the quickest and most feasible option would be to displace the thresholds. I have spoken with Jared at FAA to see what their position is on creating those displacements (they will refer to them as declared distances). The north end would need to be displaced at least 400 feet and the south end would need to come in by about 650 feet to fit within the existing property boundary.” Ideally, this change would be discussed and included in the 2018 Master Plan update. It the City Council want to move toward becoming a D2 airport now, an updated Airport Layout Plan and clearances from the Part 139 Inspector would be required. An e-mail from Kevin Schlemmer, Chief of the Essential Air Service and Domestic Analysis Division with the US Department of Transportation advised that: “The community can, in their comments, request a re-bid, but would need to outline why none of the proposals are valid or acceptable. It would be unusual given that multiple proposals were received, but it can be done. We would need to review the reasoning to determine if we would go through with a re-bid.” Staff has consulted with Michael Mooney, Air Service Strategy and Development Consultant, Sixel Consulting to better understand what the DOT staff might consider a valid argument for re-bid. I have included a draft letter done in consultation with Sixel Consulting to Department of Transportation requesting a re-bid for your review and revision. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Recommend Via Air, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd, or Boutique Air to provide Essential Air Service for the City of Page. ADVISORY BOARD / COMMISSION ACTION: The Airport Board recommendation was to accept Boutique Air’s proposal with at least two flights a day to Phoenix, one flight to Los Angeles, California, and to look at servicing Denver, Colorado. Fiscal Impact Budget Impact: Unknown Attachments DRAFT RSA December 27, 2016 Mr. Michael Gormas Transportation Industry Analyst US Department of Transportation Office of Aviation Analysis 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Room W86‐472 West Building Washington D.C. 20590 Reference: Docket DOT‐OST‐1997‐2694 Dear Mr. Gormas, The community of Page, Arizona herein provides its community comments on the current Essential Air Service (EAS) contract process under Docket 1997‐2694. In late October three carriers (Boutique Air, Great Lakes and Via Airlines) made proposals to provide EAS service at our community. The DOT requested our comments on the three proposals by early December. We requested and were granted an extension until December 28, 2016 to provide our comments to the Department. We begin by thanking all three carriers for their interest in our market and the time and effort put forth to develop the proposals and present them to us. However, after considerable local discussion and research and after one‐on‐one interviews with each of the three carriers we wish to request a re‐bid of our EAS service. Our reasons for making this request are as follows; Great Lakes Airlines, after many years of serving our community, is simply a carrier in decline. For far too many months and years now Great Lakes service at our community has been unreliable and our enplanements demonstrate that. For the sake of our community’s economic growth and prosperity, which depends significantly on air service, we must join the dozens of other EAS cities nationwide that have successfully moved past Great Lakes to other EAS air service providers. The DOT is well aware of Great Lakes struggles for the past three plus years and the Department has fined the carrier for extensive failure to fulfill its EAS contract obligations in multiple markets. We wish Great Lakes well and hope they can rebuild their airline but we simply cannot risk our economy further by relying on them for EAS service at this time. We have discovered that Via Air is having very significant operational issues with its expanded EAS services in West Virginia and Virginia. Via Air’s proposal envisions the use of regional jets with very limited payload capability during our peak summer season.
