Kevin Schlemmer Office of Aviation Analysis US Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave SE Washington, D.C. 20590 SkyWest Airlines ’ Essential Air Servi ce Proposal for Cody , WY Dear Mr. Schlemmer : Attached is SkyWest Airlines ’ pr oposal for service at Cody , Wyo . Our proposal is to provide once - daily direct service from Cody to Salt Lake City International Airport . SkyWest welcomes the opportunity to continue serving the Cody community with quality air service and access to one of the world’s largest airline networks – crucial elements to continue driving economic growth in the region. Our safe , reliable aircraft and well - timed schedules will help ensure the best possible travel experie nce for passengers. Delta Air Lines ’ Network One of the most beneficial aspects of this proposal is the connectivity it provides Cody passengers . They will enjoy access to Delta Air Lines’ global network, including thousands of daily flights to 330 destinations in 65 countries. The airline is also a founding member of the SkyTeam global alliance and participates in the industry’s leading trans - Atlantic joint venture with Air France - KLM and Alitalia – making it easy to connect on to more than 15,000 daily flights . This connectivity makes it simple for passengers to plan their travel and is a key factor in the area’s continued economic development. Frequency and Schedule As directed by the community , we will continue to offer a minimum of seven roundtrip flights per week. We realize that this frequency is less than that required by the RFP, but we are structuring our bid in a way that will allow the community to hopefully retain daily service to two different hubs. This is the s ame service pattern that we offer in the market today. All flights have been timed to arrive and depart on bank , meaning they have been optimized for maximum connection opportunities in Salt Lake City. This excellent connectivity makes the service convenient for both business and leisure travelers.

# With nearly 300 daily departures , Delta operates more flights from Salt Lake City

International Airport than any other airline and offers hundreds of connections to destinations around the globe . In addition to being a major hub, Salt Lake is among the top destination s for those living in the Cody catchment area and provides great access for travelers in Salt Lake City to take advantage of everything Cody has to offer. Proven Aircraft Service w ill be provided utilizing the 50 - seat Canadair Regional Jet 200 (CRJ200) . SkyWest is one of the largest domestic operator s of this reliable and proven aircraft type , and t he aircraft is already available for service on the route. All SkyWest CRJ aircraf

t are equipped with a lavatory and each flight is serviced by one of our professional flight attendant s , further adding to the comfort and convenience of our passengers’ flying experience . Additional details and specifications can be found in the CRJ200 fact sheet attached to this document. Summary SkyWest believes this proposal provides the best overall option fo r air service in the Cody communit y . Given the connectivity at Salt Lake City , the well - timed schedule , and reliable equipment, we expect to s ee strong demand from passengers utilizing the service . We will also continue working with community and airport partners to market the service. SkyWest is excited about the possible opportunity to continue providing reliable air service to Cody , Wyo . Thank you for yo ur consideration. Sincerely, Michael Thompson Vice President – Market Development SkyWest Airlines
