Gulfstream International Airlines ("Gulfstream") cordially submits its proposal to provide subsidized air 

service to Beckley, WV; Clarksburg/Fairmont, WV; Morgantown, WV; and Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, 

OH. Gulfstream would like to offer several service options for these communities 

In the first set of service options, Gulfstream proposes to operate flights under its existing codeshare 

agreement with Continental Airlines to its established hub in Cleveland, Ohio. Gulfstream believes that the 

strength of the Continental hub at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport will have a positive effect on 

ridership. For the summer schedule Continental will have roughly 196 departures from CLE to some 66 

destinations. Other carriers boost the overall Cleveland activity to roughly 283 daily departures. Since 

establishing our CLE feeder operation in September of 2008, Gulfstream has achieved a 98% controllable 

completion factor with an arrival :14 rate of nearly 90%. In the case of Beckley, we are pleased to offer 

two non-stop roundtrips each service day to Cleveland. In the case of Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, OH, we 

are please to offer two options entailing either three non-stop roundtrips or four non-stop roundtrips each 

service day. In the case of Clarksburg/Fairmont and Morgantown, we are pleased to offer one option 

entailing four roundtrips each service day to Cleveland to be operated in a "round robin" fashion such as 

Cleveland-Clarksburg-Morgantown-Cleveland, or vice versa. We will also offer a third option specifically 

/ i 
for Clarksburg/Fairmont entailing three non-stop frequencies to both Cleveland as well as a fourth option 

specifically for Morgantown entailing three non-stop frequencies to Cleveland. 

The second set of service options we put forth would involve operations from both all four communities to 

Pittsburgh, PA. These options are part of the "Pittsburgh Connector" initiative that Gulfstream has been 

working to develop with the State of Pennsylvania, The Greater Pittsburgh International Airport and the 

Pennsylvania Air Service Committee. Pittsburgh remains the economic hub of western Pennsylvania and 

area residents have been supportive of this concept. Under this scenario, flights to and from PIT would be 

operated under the Gulfstream's independent identity. Interline traffic would be accommodated with 

interline baggage and ticketing agreements, including e-ticketing agreements, and direct access into the 

various Global Distribution Systems. Potential codeshare agreements are not ruled out for these scenarios, 

but likely not be in place for the launch of service. Pittsburgh remains a very viable connecting hub with 

non-stop service to some 36 destinations on roughly 160+ departures per day. Pittsburgh has become a 

haven for low cost carriers and consequently passengers from these communities could benefit by taking 

advantage of these lower rates. In the case of Beckley, we are pleased to offer two non-stop roundtrips 

each service day to Pittsburgh. In the case of Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, OH, we are pleased to offer 

options entailing both three and four non-stop roundtrips to Pittsburgh. In the case of Clarksburg/Fairmont 

and Morgantown, we are please to offer one option entailing three non-stop roundtrips for each community 

to Pittsburgh and a second, combined service option involving four roundtrips each service day to 

Pittsburgh to be operated in a "round robin" fashion such as Pittsburgh-Clarksburg-MorgantownPittsburgh, or vice versa. 

In compliance with Public Law 100-223, Gulfstream proposes to operate these flights using Beech 1900D 

turboprops that are pressurized and accommodate 19 passengers to the, FAA defined, medium-sized hubs 

at Cleveland, OH or/or Pittsburgh, PA. 
Service Option 1 

24 Weekly Frequencies between Beckiev. West Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio 

Gulfstream proposes to operate these flights under our Continental Connection codeshare relationship with 

Continental Airlines. The timing of these flights would be optimized for connections to and from 

Continental flights at Cleveland. Gulfstream proposes to encourage connecting traffic by using a simplified 

"add on" fee structure whereby passengers connecting to or from CO flights would pay only an incremental 

$75 one way for the Gulfstream segment. In discussions with the community it was apparent that access to 

Charlotte was important as well. Gulfstream would commit to working with the community to gain access 

to Charlotte for one of these two roundtrips, subject to approval by our codeshare partners and subject to 

DOT approval as we believe this alternate routing would require no additional subsidy . Barring those 

conditions, the service would operate as presented below. The basic service pattern would consist of two 

non-stop roundtrips each service day. We feel that non-stop service along with superior schedule timing 

will have a positive effect on ridership.

Service Option 3A 

36 Weekly frequencies between Clarksburg, West Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio. 

Gulfstream proposes to operate these flights under our Continental Connection codeshare relationship with 

Continental Airlines. The timing of these flights would be optimized for connections to and from 

Continental flights at Cleveland. Gulfstream proposes to encourage connecting traffic by using a simplified 

"add on" fee structure whereby passengers connecting to or from CO flights would pay only an incremental 

$75 one way for the Gulfstream segment. The basic service pattern would consist of three non-stop 

roundtrips each service day. We feel that non-stop service along with superior schedule timing will have a 

positive effect on ridership.

In conclusion, Gulfstream believes that these proposals will these West Virginia communities with superior 

air service. We feel the cities will benefit from the strength of the Continental codeshare in our Cleveland 

option or from the low fares of our Pittsburgh options. Most importantly, we feel that all of the 

communities will benefit from the integrity of service that has been a hallmark of the Gulfstream operation 

and our willingness to work with these cities to meet their air travel needs.
