Dear Sirs, 

·-.!I 

Enclosed, find Grant Aviation, Inc.'s proposal to provide Essential Air Service between Dillingham, Alaska and Aleknagik, 

Alaska for the period AprilS, 2015 through April4, 2017. 

In accord with the Department's request for proposals, Grant Aviation proposes to provide three direct, nonstop flights 

per week between Dillingham and Aleknagik. 

The aircraft types to be utilized for this proposed service are either Cessna C-207 or Gipps Aero GA-8. Both of these 

aircraft types are single engine, non-pressurized aircraft capable of carrying at least six passengers. 

This proposal provides for passenger transport as well as handling and interim storage of mail and freight between 

Dillingham and the village of Aleknagik. 

At 100% performance of the schedule proposed above, Grant Aviation expects a total annual economic cost of 

$147,454.98. Estimated annual revenue derived from scheduled passenger fares, freight tariffs, and compensation for 

transporting U.S. Mail flown along the route is expected to total $28,788.10, leaving $118,666.88 in uncovered costs. 

To cover the difference between expected economic costs and expected revenues, Grant Aviation will require an annual 

subsidy of $118,666.88. 

We look forward to working with you in providing service to the people of Aleknagik. 

If you require further information, I may be contacted by phone at 907 529-6999, or by e-mail at 

bmcglasson@flygrant.com.
