The termination of LAB's service would leave Klawock with no air service

L.A.B. Flying Service, Inc.

We understand per telephone conversation from Kevin Adams in your office that LAB Air Service wishes to cease service to Klawock, AK under their Essential Air Service obligations, We also have a copy of a letter from another air carrier, Promech, Inc., to Kevin Adams stating their intent to begin service to Klawock. The Alaska DOT&PF has no objection to the immediate release of LAB from their obligations.

By this order we are allowing L.A.B. Plying Service to suspend its service at Klawock, Alaska, when Promech Airlines inaugurates its full service as proposed. Immediately upon receiving L.AB.'s notice, we contacted Promech Airlines that also operates in southeast Alaska, Promech stated that it would replace L.A.B.'s service by providing 21 round trips a week with DHC-2 Beaver aircraft, with a greater payload than the Piper Cherokee "until business dictates additional flight requirements."

We will allow L.A.B. to suspend its service at Klawock on the day that Promech institutes its new service at the community, if it chooses. At that time, we will begin to rely on Promech's service to meet Klawock's essential air service requirements. The new service, 21 round trips per week, is less than the guaranteed level in term of frequency (although the same as provided by L.AB.)
