ORDER REQUESTING PROPOSALS

Summary

By this Order, the Department is requesting a second round of proposals from carriers 

interested in providing Essential Air Service (EAS) at Kalaupapa, Hawaii, for a two-year 

period, with or without subsidy. (See Appendix A for a service area map.) Carriers 

should file their proposals no later than April 22, 2011.

Background

Pacific Wings provided subsidized EAS at the community from 2002-2007. Beginning 

on April 1, 2007, Pacific Wings provided subsidy-free EAS at the community with a 

schedule generally consisting of at least 12 weekly nonstop round trips to Honolulu (or 

Molokai) with 9-seat Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft.

On December 6, 2010, Pacific Wings filed a 90-day notice of its intention to suspend its 

subsidy-free service at Kalaupapa, effective March 6, 2011.

In response to Pacific Wings’ notice to suspend subsidy-free EAS, the Department issued 

Order 2010-12-30 on December 23, 2010, prohibiting Pacific Wings from suspending 

service and soliciting proposals to provide efficient EAS, with subsidy support if 

necessary, at Kalaupapa. Carriers were directed to file their proposals not later than 

January 27, 2011. However, on January 25, Pacific Wings withdrew its notice of intent 

to end its subsidy-free EAS at Kalaupapa. On January 27, Schuman Aviation Company 

Ltd., d/b/a Makani Kai Air Charters (Makani Kai) and SeaPort Airlines, Inc. (SeaPort) 

submitted proposals to provide subsidized EAS at the community.

SeaPort proposed to provide two nonstop round trips a day between Kalaupapa and 

Honolulu, six days a week, utilizing nine-seat Cessna Grand Caravans (the same aircraft

used by Pacific Wings), for a first-year annual subsidy of $1,254,084, and $1,251,104 for 

the second year.

Makani Kai would provide two nonstop round trips a day between Kalaupapa and 

Honolulu and three nonstop round trips a day between Kalaupapa and Molokai (or 

“topside”), also utilizing nine-seat Cessna Grand Caravans, for an annual subsidy rate of 

$877,710.

The two proposals and entire public docket regarding EAS at the community may be 

accessed online through the Federal Docket Management System at: 

http://www.regulations.gov, through a search on Docket Number DOT-OST-2000-6773.

Decision

In cases where a carrier proposes to provide EAS without subsidy and we determine that 

service can be provided reliably without subsidy, we typically do not proceed with the 

carrier-selection case. However, in this case, after careful consideration, we have decided 

to continue to process the carrier-selection case and solicit a second round of proposals 

for EAS at Kalaupapa by April 22. Should Makani Kai and/or SeaPort still be interested 

in providing EAS to the community, the carriers should resubmit their existing proposals, 

or submit revised proposals by the date noted above – April 22, 2011, the deadline for 

submissions from any interested carrier.

As a result of frequent complaints from the community about its air service, we examined 

Pacific Wings’ service at Kalaupapa. We reviewed monthly data that Pacific Wings (and 

all airlines) are required to submit to the Department’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics 

(BTS). These data are summarized in Appendices B and C. Appendix B details the 

number of enplanements at Kalaupapa. From 2007-2010, enplanements at Kalaupapa

have declined and have been 3,206, 3,135, 2,035, and 895, respectively in these years. 

Appendix C details the number of scheduled and completed flights by Pacific Wings at 

Kalaupapa and calculates the corresponding completion percentage for each year. From 

2007-2010, the completion percentages at Kalaupapa were 77.7, 95.2, 91.6 and 81.1, 

respectively. Whether or not the service is subsidized, communities are entitled to 

receive their minimum EAS levels, established by statute. Here, the completion 

percentage at the community falls short of acceptable levels of EAS, and we believe that 

Kalaupapa is not receiving the EAS to which it is entitled. In light of the decrease in 

enplanements and flight completion percentages, as well as continuing service 

complaints, we are soliciting a second round of proposals for EAS that meet the unique 

needs of Kalaupapa, due April 22. We will also provide the opportunity to comment on 

the data presented in Appendices B and C by that date.

Finally, Pacific Wings is legally required to continue to provide EAS at the community 

during the completion of this carrier-selection proceeding. This service should consist of 

at least 12 nonstop round trips per week between Kalaupapa and Honolulu (or Molokai) 

using at least nine-seat Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft.1

Request for Proposals

Carriers interested in providing service at Kalaupapa with or without subsidy, should file 

their proposals no later than April 22, 2011. Staff will then docket proposals, thereby 

making them public, and shortly afterwards will provide a summary of the proposals to 

the community and ask them for their final comments. We will give full consideration to 

all proposals filed in a timely manner.2

Interested carriers should prepare their proposals with every expectation that their initial 

proposals will represent their final and only proposals. However, we retain the discretion 

to negotiate proposals with carriers when we deem it appropriate. We also retain the 

discretion to reject outright all unreasonable or unrealistic proposals and re-solicit a new 

round of proposals. However, negotiation and rejection are only occasional exceptions to 

the rule.

We are here providing interested carriers with some basic information to serve as 

guidance when they prepare their proposals, but we will not prescribe a precise format for 

their proposals. We expect proposals to adequately describe the service being proposed 

and the annual amount of subsidy being requested. The applicants can make their own 

judgments as to the level of detail they wish to present; however, they might want to 

include proposed schedules, as well as supporting data for their subsidy requests, such as 

projected block hours, revenues and expenses. We strongly encourage clear, welldocumented proposals that will facilitate their evaluation by the affected community and 

the Department.3

The Department expects proposals that consist of 12 weekly round trips with nine-seat or 

larger aircraft that meet the community’s unique needs. We encourage proposals that 

meet those requirements in an efficient manner. Carriers are also welcome to propose 

more than one service option, if they choose; they need not limit themselves to those 

requirements if they envision other, potentially more attractive service possibilities --

different hubs, for example -- with subsidy requirements that remain competitive.

The community and air carriers are encouraged to work together in advance of the due 

date for proposals to craft service patterns that are desirable to the community and meet 

the operational requirements of the airline.

 2 Carriers should not expect the Department to accept late fillings.

3 In selecting a carrier to provide subsidized essential air service, 49 U.S.C. 41733(c) (1) directs us to 

consider four factors: (a) scheduled service reliability; (b) contractual and marketing arrangements with a 

larger carrier to ensure service beyond the hub; (c) interline arrangements that the applicant has made with 

a larger carrier at the hub; and (d) community views, giving substantial weight to the views of the elected 

officials representing the users. In addition, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 110-

161, provides that when selecting a carrier to provide EAS, the Department may consider the relative 

subsidy requirements.

New Filing Procedures

Carrier proposals should be submitted to the Department with all materials compiled into 

a single document. In addition, because the document will be published on 

http://www.regulations.gov/, each page should be formatted to be viewed online and for 

easy printing.

Other Carrier Requirements

The Department is responsible for implementing various Federal statutes governing 

lobbying activities, drug-free workplaces, and nondiscrimination.4 Consequently, all 

carriers receiving Federal subsidy for EAS must certify that they are in compliance with 

Departmental regulations regarding drug-free workplaces and nondiscrimination, and 

those carriers whose subsidies exceed $100,000 over the life of the rate-term must also 

certify that they are in compliance with the regulations governing lobbying activities. 

Because the Department is prohibited from paying subsidy to carriers that do not submit 

these documents, all carriers that plan to submit proposals involving subsidy should be 

aware that the selected carrier will be required to complete the required certifications. 

Interested carriers requiring more detailed information regarding these requirements 

should contact the Department’s Office of Aviation Analysis at (202) 366-5903.5

Community and State Comments

The community and state are welcome to submit comments at any time. We encourage 

prospective applicants to contact the community before they submit their proposals so 

that they can tailor them to the community’s needs, as they will not be able to amend 

them after the due date. As noted earlier, we will provide a summary of the proposals to 

the civic parties and ask them to submit their final comments shortly after April 22, the 

deadline for carrier proposals.

This Order is issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.56a(f).

Example of General Terms and Conditions for Essential Air Service

The carrier understands that it may forfeit its compensation for any flights that it does not operate 

in conformance with the terms and stipulations of the rate order, including the service plans 

outlined in the order and any other significant elements of the required service, without prior 

approval. The carrier understands that an aircraft take-off and landing at its scheduled 

destination constitutes a completed flight; absent an explanation supporting subsidy eligibility 

for a flight that has not been completed, such as certain weather cancellations, only completed 

flights are considered eligible for subsidy. In addition, if the carrier does not schedule or operate 

its flights in full conformance with the order for a significant period, it may jeopardize its entire 

subsidy claim for the period in question. If the carrier contemplates any such changes beyond 

the scope of the order during the applicable period of these rates, it must first notify the Office of 

Aviation Analysis in writing and receive written approval from the Department to be ensured of 

full compensation. Should circumstances warrant, the Department may locate and select a 

replacement carrier to provide service on these routes. The carrier must complete all flights that 

can be safely operated; flights that overfly points for lack of traffic will not be compensated. In 

determining whether subsidy payment for a deviating flight should be adjusted or disallowed, the 

Department will consider the extent to which the goals of the program are met and the extent of 

access to the national air transportation system provided to the community.

If the Department unilaterally, either partially or completely, terminates or reduces payments 

for service or changes service requirements at a specific location provided for under this order, 

then, at the end of the period for which the Department does make payments in the stipulated 

amounts or at the stipulated service levels, the carrier may cease to provide service to that 

specific location without regard to any requirement for notice of such cessation. Those 

adjustments in the levels of subsidy and/or service that are mutually agreed to in writing by the 

Department and carrier do not constitute a total or partial reduction or cessation of payment.

Subsidy contracts are subject to, and incorporate by reference, relevant statutes and Department 

regulations, as they may be amended from time to time. However, any such statutes, regulations, 

or amendments thereto shall not operate to controvert the foregoing paragraph.

Funds are not currently available for performance under this solicitation beyond [DATE]. The 

Department’s obligation for performance under this solicitation beyond [DATE] is contingent 

upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for services can be made. No 

legal liability on the part of the Department for any payment may arise for performance under 

this order beyond [DATE], until funds are made available to the Department for performance. If 

funds are not made available for performance beyond [DATE], the carrier will receive notice in 

writing by the Department.

All claims for payment must be submitted within 60 days of the last day of service provided 

under this order.
