Order 2008-5-24 - EAS at Alamosa and Cortez, CO - Reselecting Carriers
|
Essential Air Service at Alamosa and Cortez, Colorado Order 2008-5-24 Issued and Served May 20, 2008 By this order, the Department is reselecting Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd., dlb/a United Express, to provide essential air service at annual subsidy rates of $1,853,475 at Alamosa, Colorado, and $1,297,562 at Cortez, Colorado, through July 31, 2010. The reselection of Great Lakes at these communities at the service and subsidy levels proposed is straightforward. We find that Great Lakes' subsidy proposal is reasonable for the three daily round trips that Order 2008-3-14 determined was appropriate. Traffic has grown significantly at each community, and Alamosa fully supports Great Lakes. While Cortez did not submit comments, the community has historically been supportive of Great Lakes. Compared to prior subsidy levels required by Order 2006-7-19, $555,359 of the $703,207 additional subsidy at Alamosa was due to increased fuel costs; and $448,828 of the $500,895 additional subsidy at Cortez was due to increased fuel costs.
