Proposal to Provide Essential Air Service at Port Alexander, Alaska

(Docket DOT -OST -1999-6244)

EAS@dot.gov

Enclosed is Harris Aircraft Services, Inc. response to Order Requesting Proposals, Docket OST-1999-6244

providing weekly service to the community of Port Alexander, Alaska.

Harris Aircraft Services, Inc. is located in Sitka, Alaska. Harris Aircraft Services has provided essential air

service to Port Alexander for the last twelve years. We have performed the service in an efficient and safe

manner. Harris Aircraft Services has worked hard to accommodate and develop a good working relationship

with the traveling community members of Port Alexander.

. Harris Aircraft Services is submitting a proposal for the same frequency as in the last two years. We have

increased the seat fare base rate from $125.59 to $130.23. Two basic factors have caused the seat fare rate

and subsidy request to increase. The overall expenses have slightly increased in the last two years along with

fuel. The seat fare is still a very reasonable rate considering the distance and equipment used.

We welcome any opportunity for further discussion in regards to this proposal. You may contact Scott Harris

or Mark Hackett at (907) 966-3050.

Sincerely,

Mark Hackett
