Alaska, (Kodiak 11) [], 

Docket DOT-OST-2000-6945 

The attached spreadsheet is Redemption Inc dba Island Air Service's bid for the 

Kodiak Eleven water stop contract. 

Island air has been providing above and beyond service to the Kodiak Eleven 

communities for many years. We go the extra mile to meet our communities 

needs, especially with extra sections so as to have timely delivery service. Our 

Dehavilland Beavers (2) are definitely the aircraft for the service needs of these 

communities. Much of what we ship is bulky and requires the capabilities the 

Beaver possesses. A note showing PEQ REQUIREMENTS for peak season 

capacity is embedded next to Alitak data. Two flights simply will not meet the 

capacity requirements considering the bulk of our loads. 

Island air _currently has·pass through arraignments with ACE Air Cargo, Kodiaks 

primary Mail and all cargo delivery service. This service recently has come under 

our operational umbrella. In addition our main Office is located just a few steps 

away from Alaska Airlines and code share partner Ravn. We have a lost baggage 

delivery agreement on our scheduled runs to further meet customer needs. 

Community views are attached with more forthcoming showing complete support 

of our continued service. 

Island air has provided safe and efficient scheduled service around Kodiak Island 

since 1996. We have built up a support network to meet the customer need~ 

especially considering our varied weather conditions and ability to fly. Our PEQ'S 

have grown steadily over the past 8 years. Ongoing marketing both internet and 

Sports shows hit some of the main users of this service. The main customer in 

Alitak is Ocean Beauty Seafood's and is a steady customer of Island Air. 

Although not required our bid includes a third trip to Alitak during the Peak season 

to meet operational needs of the cannery. Priority parts and travel are a must to 

keep smooth community service to this important hub. Our High Gross Beaver 

( 5600) additionally allows an extra 150 pounds our destinations. Winter 
conditions present a challenge and with our trident basin facility and hot water to 

deice the float plane efficiency can be maintained. Island Air remains the longest 

running scheduled carrier in Kodiak. 

Per bid requirements Redemption Inc has on file all applicable forms as the 

following requires. 1 The regulations applicable to· these areas are: (1) 49 CFR Part 20- New restrictions on 

lobbying; (2) 49 CFR Part 21 -Nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the
