1974 - August DOT Ord. & Dec. [1] (August, 1974)

handle is hein.usfed/dotod0695 and id is 1 raw text is: Order 74-8-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD WASHINGTON, D. C. SERVED UG 1 1974 Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D.C. on the 1st day of August, 1974 A Application of HUGHES AIR CORP. C d/b/a HUGHES AIRWEST Docket 26657 -S for authority to temporarily suspend service at Santa Rosa, California. ORDER GRANTING TEMPORARY SUSPENSION On April 29, 1974, Hughes Airwest (Airwest) filed an application, pursuant to Part 205 of the Board's Economic Regulations, to temporarily suspend service at Santa Rosa, California, for a period of two years. In support of its application, Airwest alleges, inter alia, that: the inability to handle jet aircraft at Santa Rosa, traffic control procedures at the San Francisco airport l/-and Santa Rosa's close proximity to San Francisco make the airport at Santa Rosa unviable for Airwest's service; the city's need for short-haul connecting air service to and from San Francisco International Airport is adequately met by STOL Air, Inc. (STOL), a commuter air carrier; 2/ only 1,830 passengers were enplaned by Airwest at Santa Rosa in 1973 (or only 4.15 passengers per departure); this extremely low level of traffic has resulted in an inordinately high subsidy need of over $100,000 annually (approximately $28.00 per passenger); the city's lack of isolation from alternate air service and the abundant supply of public transportation available to San Francisco, 3/ its primary community of interest, is the main cause for the decline in traffic 1/ The procedures require that large aircraft approaching the San Francisco Airport circle beyond the airport some thirty miles in order to approach and land from the south. The extra time involved to comply with this procedure can equal 50% of the direct flying time from Santa Rosa to San Francisco. 2/ Presently, STOL Air offers 10 round trips on weekdays and 4 1/2 round trips on weekends between Santa Rosa and San Francisco with 8-passenger Britten Norman- Islander aircraft. Although STOL's fares as an intrastate carrier are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of California (PUC), the fare charged by STOL is $17..91compared with Airwest's fare of $19.00. STOL also has N.A.T.C. ticketing agreements with all ATC certificated carriers, including Airwest. 3/ Greyhound Bus Lines offers five round trips per day between Santa Rosa and down- town San Francisco (at a one-way fare of $2.80), while Golden Gate Transit operates 59 round trips daily (at a one-way fare of $1.50). In addition, Greyhound operates nonstop shuttle service between downtown San Francisco and San Francisco Inter- national Airport every thirty minutes from 5:10 A.M. to 11:10 P.M. (at a one-way fare of $.90).
