Subject: EAS Update at Pueblo 

Attachments: 00 PUB withdrawal letter.pdf; Order 2015-l-16.pdf; Great Lakes.pdf 

All, 

SkyWest notified the Department that it has withdrawn its EAS proposal to serve Pueblo. I have attached that 

letter to this email, which is also available online through the Federal Dockets Management System at 

www.regulations.gov by searching for docket: DOT-OST-1999-6589. 

Additionally, I want to make you aware of the attached Order, issued today by the Department, tentatively 

finding that Aerodynamics Incorporated's (ADI) application for interstate scheduled passenger authority should 

be denied and its interstate and foreign charter passenger certificates should be revoked. It is the Department's 

tentative conclusion that ADI has failed to demonstrate that it continues to be fit to operate as an air carrier 

under the direction and control of its current Chief Executive Officer. Objections to this tentative decision are 

due in 14 days, and the entire documentation of the application can be found in the Docket number DOT-OST2014-0114 at www.regulations.gov. 

The Department usually asks for your preferences for various carrier and service options. However, in light of 

the above, the proposal submitted by Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. is the only proposal which remain open for 

consideration. Nonetheless, the Department wants to give you an opportunity to submit any final comments for 

the record that you may have. Please submit your comments as soon as possible, but no later than February 19, 

2015. I have attached a copy of Great Lakes' proposal for your convenience. Please let me know ifyouchave 

any questions or concerns. 

Kind Regards,

Subject: EAS at Pueblo, CO, Moab & Vernal, UT - Request for Comments - Due February 19, 2015 

All: 

1 
I would like to update you on the Essential Air Service (EAS) situation at Pueblo, Colorado, and Moab and 

Vernal, Utah, and give you an opportunity to submit comments on the record before we submit a 

recommendation to the Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs. On November 18, 2014, 

SkyWest announced that it would terminate its current EAS at Pueblo, CO; Moab and Vernal, UT; and Crescent 

City, CA. In response to that notice, the Department issued Order 2014-11-18 (November 25, 2014) 

prohibiting SkyWest's termination of service and requesting proposals from carriers interested in providing 

EAS at any or all of these communities. 

The due date for proposals for Crescent City has been extended to February 17, 2015. Therefore, only 

proposals for Pueblo, Moab, and Vernal are included here. In response to our request, the Department 

received the following proposals: 

• Aerodynamics, Inc. (ADI)- Pueblo 

• SkyWest- Pueblo 

• Great Lakes- Pueblo, Moab, and Vernal 

• Boutique Air- Moab and Vernal 

• Redtail Aviation- Moab 

I have attached a copy of each ofthe proposals to this email for your review. The proposals will also soon be 

available online through the Federal Dockets Management System at www.regulations.gov by searching for 

dockets: DOT-OST-1999-6589 (Pueblo), DOT-OST-1997-2827 (MoabL or DOT-OST-1997-2706 (Vernal). 

Please carefully review the proposals for your community and submit any comments you may have as soon as 

possible, but no later than February 19, 2015. Please send your comments via email to EAS@dot.gov. Feel 

free to contact myself or Michael Martin if you have any questions and please forward this email to any 

relevant parties not included on this email.
