ORDER RE-SELECTING AIR CARRIER

Summary

By this Order, the Department is re-selecting Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. (Great Lakes) to 

provide Essential Air Service (EAS) at Kingman, Page, Prescott, and Show Low, Arizona, 

for the two-year period from May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2015, for a combined annual 

subsidy of $7,873,533.

Background

By Order 2011-3-4, March 1, 2011 the Department re-selected Great Lakes to provide EAS 

at the above-mentioned communities for the two-year term ending April 30, 2013, using 

19-passenger Beechcraft 1900D aircraft for a combined annual subsidy of $6,278,887.

As the end of the current contract was approaching, we issued Order 2013-1-8, 

January 11, 2013, requesting proposals from air carriers interested in providing EAS at the 

four communities for a new term. In response to that Order, we received proposals from 
- 2 -

three air carriers: Great Lakes, SeaPort Airlines, Inc. (SeaPort), and Sovereign Air Inc. 

(Sovereign).

Each airline’s complete proposal and the communities’ comments may be accessed online 

at www.regulations.gov by entering the communities’’ respective Docket number: 

Kingman, DOT-OST-1996-1899, Page, DOT-OST-1997-2694, Prescott, DOT-OST-1996-

1899, and Show Low, DOT-OST-1998-4409. 

Air Carrier Proposals

Sovereign does not have the requisite operating authority to provide scheduled air service 

from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the Department of Transportation’s 

Air Carrier Fitness Division, nor do they have applications on file requesting said 

authorities. Therefore, we will summarize only the proposals put forth by Great Lakes and 

SeaPort.

Community Comments

All comments from the four communities supported Great Lakes’ proposal. The 

Honorable John Salem, Mayor of Kingman, stated that “[Great Lakes’] planes are clean 

and well kept...the Beech 1900 has served us well...the airline crews are very professional 

and knowledgeable.” Mayor Bill Diak of Page comments that Great Lakes’ “...has not 

only offered good airline service to our community but have also been good community 

members.” Mayor Marlin D. Kuykendall of Prescott expressed a desire that Great Lakes 

work closely with the City to develop a better flight schedule to ensure the maximum 

number of passengers will utilize the airline’s service and airport. The Honorable Daryl 

Seymore, Mayor of Show Low, noted that Great Lakes has provided EAS at the 

community since 2005, adding that the airline and the community have a good working 

relationship. Mayor Seymore also mentioned the airline’s existing inter-airline agreements

as a reason for supporting Great Lakes’ proposal for a new term.

Decision

After carefully reviewing each carrier’s proposal and taking into account community 

feedback, we have decided to re-select Great Lakes to provide EAS at all four 

communities. We base our decision to choose Great Lakes on the four carrier-selection 

criteria contained in 49 U.S.C. § 41733(c): 1) the demonstrated reliability in providing 

scheduled air service; 2) the contractual and marketing arrangements with a larger carrier 

to ensure service beyond a hub airport; 3) interline agreements with a larger carrier; and 4) 

support by the community’s elected officials for the applicant’s proposal. Great Lakes’ 

proposal meets all four statutory criteria. Great Lakes is an established scheduled air 
- 5 -

carrier that has provided reliable air service to the four communities in the air carrier 

selection case. Great Lakes has interline agreements with all major airlines and code-share 

agreements with United Airlines and Frontier Airlines at the Denver hub. Therefore, it

provides its passengers connections beyond hub airports to the national air transportation 

system. In addition, these interline agreements enable its passengers to reach their 

destination with one reservation, ticket, and baggage check-in. Lastly, the elected officials

of all four communities unanimously support Great Lakes’ proposals.

We shall make this selection of Great Lakes at Kingman, Page, Prescott, and Show Low, 

contingent upon the Department’s receiving properly executed certifications from the air 

carrier that it is in compliance with the Department’s regulations regarding drug-free 

workplaces and nondiscrimination, as well as the regulations concerning lobbying 

activities.1

Legislative Changes That May Affect Future EAS Eligibility at Kingman

Although we are selecting Great Lakes to serve Kingman for a two-year period, there have 

been legislative changes that may affect future EAS subsidy at Kingman. The FAA

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law No: 112-95) amended 49 U.S.C. 

§41731(a)(1)(B) to change the definition of “eligible place” for the purpose of receiving 

EAS. The amendment states that to be eligible, a community must maintain an average of 

10 enplanements or more per service day, as determined by the Secretary, during the most 

recent fiscal year beginning after September 30, 2012.2

 The legislation exempts locations 

in Alaska and Hawaii and communities that are more than 175 driving miles from the 

nearest large or medium hub airport. As Kingman is about 121 miles from Las Vegas, the 

community must meet the 10 enplanement-a-day threshold for EAS to continue after 

FY2013 or otherwise face termination of its eligibility to receive EAS, barring a waiver 

from the Secretary. 

In the most recent fiscal year for which data are available, FY2012 (October 2011-

September 2012), Kingman generated a total of 2,063 passengers (inbound and outbound), 

or an average of 3 enplanements per day.3 The community and carrier will need to attract

enough passengers to meet the 10 enplanements per day statutory requirement in order for 

Kingman to remain eligible to continue receiving EAS after FY2013. The Department will 

continue to monitor Kingman’s eligibility to receive EAS in light of these new 

requirements throughout the life of any executed contract. The Department may cancel a 

 1 The certifications are available online under “Reports and Publications” at 

http://www.dot.gov/policy/aviation-policy/small-community-rural-air-service/essential-air-service

2 The Secretary also has authority to waive the 10 passenger requirement, on an annual basis, if the 

community can demonstrate that the reason the location averages fewer than 10 passengers per day is due to a 

temporary decline in enplanements. See 49 U.S.C. §41731(e). A detailed explanation of the temporary 

decline would have to be submitted to the Department with relevant supporting documents.

contract for any community receiving EAS if enplanements remain below 10 per day 

during FY2013.4

We shall make this selection of Great Lakes at Kingman, Page, Prescott, and Show Low 

contingent upon the Department’s receiving properly executed certifications from the air 

carrier that it is in compliance with the Department’s regulations regarding drug-free 

workplaces and nondiscrimination, as well as the regulations concerning lobbying 

activities.5

Carrier Fitness

49 U.S.C. §§ 41737(b) and 41738 require that we find an air carrier fit, willing, and able to 

provide reliable service before we may subsidize it to provide EAS. Great Lakes is subject 

to the Department’s continuing fitness requirements, and no information has come to our 

attention that would cause us to questions the air carrier’s fitness at this time. We have 

contacted the Federal Aviation Administration, and it has raised no concerns that would 

negatively affect our fitness findings. We therefore conclude that Great Lakes is reliable 

and fit to conduct the operations proposed here.

This Order is issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR Part 1.25a(b).

ACCORDINGLY,

1. We re-select Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. to provide Essential Air Service at Kingman,

Page, Prescott, and Show Low, Arizona, and establish annual subsidy rates as described in 

Appendix C;

2. We direct Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. to retain all books, records, and other source and 

summary documentation to support claims for payment, and to preserve and maintain such 

documentation in a manner that readily permits its audit and examination by 

representatives of the Department. Such documentation shall be retained for seven years 

from the service date of this Order or until the Department indicates that the records may 

be destroyed, whichever comes first. Copies of flight logs for aircraft sold or disposed of 

must be retained. The carrier may forfeit its compensation for any claim that is not 

supported under the terms of this Order;

3. We find that Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. is fit, willing and able to operate as a commuter 

air carrier, and capable of providing reliable Essential Air Service at Kingman, Page, 

Prescott, and Show Low, Arizona;

4. These dockets will remain open pending further Department action; and

 4 In addition, Kingman and Show Low remain subject to the $200 per passenger subsidy cap. See pages 2-3 

of the “Order Requesting Proposals.”

5

 The certifications are also available on the web at http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/index.html.

5. We will serve copies of this Order on the Mayors, and Airport Managers of Kingman, 

Page, Prescott, Show Low, Arizona, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd., SeaPort Airlines, Inc., and 

Sovereign Air Inc.

Note: The carrier understands that it may forfeit its compensation for any flights that it does not operate in conformance 

with the terms and stipulations of the rate Order, including the service plans outlined in the Order and any other significant 

elements of the required service, without prior approval. The carrier understands that an aircraft take-off and landing at its 

scheduled destination constitutes a completed flight; absent an explanation supporting subsidy eligibility for a flight that 

has not been completed, such as certain weather cancellations, only completed flights are considered eligible for subsidy. 

In addition, if the carrier does not schedule or operate its flights in full conformance with the Order for a significant period, 

it may jeopardize its entire subsidy claim for the period in question. If the carrier contemplates any such changes beyond 

the scope of the Order during the applicable period of this rate, it must first notify the Office of Aviation Analysis in 

writing and receive written approval from the Department to be ensured of full compensation. Should circumstances 

warrant, the Department may locate and select a replacement carrier to provide service on these routes. The carrier must 

complete all flights that can be safely operated; flights that overfly points for lack of traffic will not be compensated. In 

determining whether subsidy payment for a deviating flight should be adjusted or disallowed, the Department will consider 

the extent to which the goals of the program are met and the extent of access to the national air transportation system 

provided to the community.

If the Department unilaterally, either partially or completely, terminates or reduces payments for service or changes 

service requirements at a specific location provided for under this Order, then, at the end of the period for which the 

department does make payments in the stipulated service levels, the carrier may cease to provide service to that 

specific location without regards to any requirement for notice of such cessation. Those adjustments in the levels of 

subsidy and/or service that are mutually agreed to in writing by the Department and carrier do not constitute a total 

or partial reduction or cessation of payment.

amended from time to time. However, any such statutes, regulations, or amendments thereto shall not operate to controvert 

the foregoing paragraph.

performance under this order beyond September 30, 2013 is subject to the availability of funds from which payment for 

services can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under this 

order beyond September 30, 2013, until funds are made available to the Department for performance. If funds are not made 

available for performance beyond September 30, 2013, the Department will provide notice in writing to the carrier.

All claims for payment must be submitted within 60 days of the last day of service provided under this Order.
