## Harris Air has increasingly become an integra) part of our business model. For instance, their scheduled direct flights to Klawock have enabled us to service Craig and the other small communities on Prince of Wales Island in a very efficient and cost effective manner. Their increase of flights to and from Juneau has made work in Juneau much more practical. Increased In years past we have had better access to these communities through the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry Service. This service is so infrequent and the schedule so awkward- routing everything through Juneau that we have not been able to use it for many years. Alaska Airlines has provided access to the larger communities, but that too has become increasingly unworkable due to its routings through Juneau. For instance, we used to regularly do work in Petersburg and Wrangell, but it requires an overnight stay and/or 8 to 12 hour airport layovers in Juneau. This makes it uneconomical for us to reach these communities. J 

## have operated a regional real estate appraisal firm in Sitka for more than 30 years. With eight employees we're the largest commercial appraisal firm between Seattle and Anchorage. There are no firms doing commercial appraisal work with resident offices in Ketchikan or Juneau. We have continual work and annual contracts with the municipalities of Skagway, Juneau, and Craig. We often do commercial work in Ketchikan, Wrangell, and Petersburg as well as smaller communities such as Kake, Angoon, Gustavus, Hoonah and Haines. I am writing this letter in support of your application for an Air Carrier Certificate that will allow you to expand your schedule and include the hauling of mail for the USPS.

# ~l~ Charles Horan, MAl Horan and Company LLC Sole member-Owner We appreciate all you can do to process Harris Airs request. 

## If you have any questions or need more information or clarification please don't hesitate 

## to contact me directly. Hams Airs willingness to expand its schedule combined with the economic opportunity to carry mail will enable us to better serve 

# those communities. Perhaps more important is 

# the benefit that those communities 

# will receive from being able to have services from us and other providers from Sitka. Sitka has a long cultural history of being a 

# hub for the smaller native communities in central Southeast Alaska. As the ferry service and Alaska Airlines has become more centralized out of Juneau as a hub, access to these communities has suffered. scheduling to Petersburg and Wrangell would open up new opportunities for us and provide people in those communities 

## a more economical access to real estate appraisal services. The same is true for many of the smaller communities mentioned above.
