To Whom It May Concern: 

Enclosed are our proposals to continue to provide Essential Air Sendee to the communities of Healy Lake 

and Chisana, Alaska. A couple of things in our Chisana proposal and one in the Healy Lake proposal I 

would like to point out. 

First, you will notice that there are two rates for cargo. The extra one is a space available rate. For the 

last several years, we have offered this rate to the residents of Chisana so they can get fuel into the 

community at a reasonable cost. Consequently, the bulk of the cargo for the last two years was fuel that 

was moved at that rate. 

Secondly, there is again a large question mark as to what the quantity of mail will be in the future. The 

post office has again imposed a large increase in the mail rates. So far this has translated, as you can see 

in the second and third quarter of 2009, into substantially lower mail volumes. 

The last thing is I have again included the Cessna 185 in my proposal for Chisana. We operate this 

aircraft on skis in the winter. Occasionally a plowed runway is not available and utilizing this aircraft 

allows us to continue to operate the Essential Air Service. 

As you can see, the traffic in Healy Lake has dropped considerably. In the last couple of years there has 

been a decrease in the number of people living there. Due to low numbers of students Alaska Gateway 

School District has dosed the school. 

Although our operating costs have only gone up slightly, the traffic in both markets decreased has 

substantially. I believe the current economic climate is a factor in this decrease. 

Sincerely, 

Leif L Wilson/President
