FW: Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport- Essential Air Service Update 

EAS MEMO.pdf 

I am a Diamond member with Delta Airlines and was affected severely when Delta pulled::t>ut of RH I almost 

a year ago. There were several weekly travelers that all got to know each other on thoslMonday and 

Friday flights in/out of RHI. The staft at the RHI airport is also amazing, and I have been traveling for 17 

years now. I have never seen a more well-kept airport with the best staff- from the luggage carriers to 

TSA- every single person there cared. Below you will see that the RHI airport has been keeping in touch 

with a few of us frequent flyers and has kept us up to date. The management there knows the moment a 

carrier comes in that will work with Delta -we are there! 

With all of this being said, I truly hope that you accept the Sky West offer that connects via MSP. It offers 

all of us FF that travel weekly, and have families to come home to, the best array of flight times out there. 

Please take my strongly urged suggestion into consideration. Thank you for your time. 

Regards,

Subject: Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport- Essential Air Service Update 

I would like to update you on the Essential Air Service (EAS) for the Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport (RHI). 

The bids for the Airport's EAS have been received by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). 

1 
RHI was fortunate to have three airline bids for the EAS. They are briefly summarized below, but a more detailed 

document is. attached. 

The three EAS bids: 

SkyWest Airlines, operating with a Delta Air Lines code-share on a Canadair Regional Jet 200 (CRJ). This is a 

50 seat jet aircraft with two non-stop flights a day to Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP). 

Great Lakes Airlines submitted non-stop service utilizing 19-passenger Beech 1900D aircraft and interline aticketing and baggage agreements with American, Delta, Frontier, United, and U S Airways operating three flights 

daily to MSP. 

Sovereign Air Inc. submitted a proposal for service with no code share to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, 

but they have not obtained the required operating authority from either the Federal Aviation Administration or the 

Department. 

If you wish to submit any comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation for their review prior to the award of 

the contract to one of the above airlines, the attached document provides details on doing so. 

Frontier Airlines will continue to provide service as required by the DOT until the new airline is up and operating in 

our market. While we do not have an exact date on this transition, we anticipate that the new airline that is 

awarded the contract will probably not be in our market until sometime between November and January. The 

DOT requires Frontier Airlines reservations that occur after the new airline comes in, to be re-accommodated on 

the new airline and/or refund of ticket. . 

Thank you for your interest and continued support of the Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport.
