Aerodynamics, Inc. (ADI) cordially submits its proposal to provide subsidized air service to the communities of Meridian

, Laurel/Hattiesbur g and Tupelo, Miss issippi. ADI hereby offers one , two year

, option for service. This bid is all or nothing,

as ADI feels that it will require the mass of all three routes herein bid to establish a viable hub operation

.

ADI proposes to operate flights

, under its independent identity to the major hub airport of Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta’s

Hartsfield airport is the nation’s busiest with over 1,200 daily departures to over 200 cities worldwide. ADI is a

certificated 121 operator that currently holds DOT ec onomic authority for charter operations and is in the process of filing

for expanded economic authority for full scheduled passenger service. ADI will work to establish interline ticketing and

baggage agreements with the legacy carriers at ATL and will sc hedule its flights to allow multiple connecting

opportunities. ADI contends that reasonable local fares and reliable scheduled operations will stimulate demand and the

variety of destinations available from Atlanta will allow these market s to grow . Towa rd that end ADI will establish a

reasonable f are structure b etween these cities and Atlanta

. Additionally, ADI will endeavor to establish a codeshare

relationship with the major carriers at ATL but will additionally establish its own reservations platform that will allow ADI

flights to be sold via all major global distribution systems . ADI will maintain its own web based booking site as well as a

reservation call center.

In compliance wit h Pu blic Law 100

- 223, ADI proposes to operate these flights using Em braer 145 regional jets that are

pressurized and accom modate 50 passeng ers

. The EMB

- 145 features stand up headroom, a pressurized cabin , a Flight

Attendant and an onboard lavatory. The aircraft has ample cargo capacity to accommodate even bulky military duffle

bags. Each community’s schedule would consist of a dedicated overnighting aircraft along with a midday turn.

ADI has a long history of providing safe and reliable transportation. One of the keys to reinvigorating traffic at these three

airports wi ll be schedule reliability. To ward this end, ADI intends to include a 4 th dedicated spare aircraft in support of this

scheduled operation. With this spare aircraft ADI will have great flexibility in responding to any operati ona l challenges and

can assure these communities receive the level of oper ational performan ce they deserve

.
