Order 2008-7-16 - EAS at Macon, GA - Extending Service Obligation
|
Essential Air Service at Macon, Georgia Order 2008-7-16 Issued July 11, 2008 | Served July 16, 2008 Order Extending Service Obligation | Word By this order, the Department of Transportation extends the essential air service obligation of Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. at Macon, Georgia, for an additional 30 days, through August 29, 2008. On July 2, 2007, ASA filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its unsubsidized service at Macon, effective October 1, 2007. By Order 2007-7-12, July 13, 2007, the Department prohibited the carrier from suspending service through October 30, and requested proposals, with subsidy if necessary, from carriers interested in providing replacement service. By Order 2008-5-43, May 29, 2008, the Department selected Pacific Wings, d/b/a Georgia Skies to provide subsidized service at Macon, as well as Athens, for a new two-year period beginning when the carrier inaugurates full EAS at both communities. As required by 49 U.S.C. 41734, we have extended ASA’s service obligation for additional 30-day periods, the latest through July 30, 2008, by Order 2008-6-36. However, Pacific Wings will not have started service by the end of the current hold-in period, and, in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 41734(c), we will extend ASA’s service obligation for an additional 30 days, or until Pacific Wings actually begins service, whichever occurs first.
