Issued by the Department of Transportation on the 4th day of October, 1988 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I E R V E D O C T 1 1 1 9 8 8 Notice of intent of MESA AIRLINES, INC. Docket 45527 to suspend service at Clovis, NM, pursuant to section 419 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended ORDER SETTING INTERIM RATE OF COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES On March 1, 1988, Mesa Airlines, Inc., filed a 30-day notice of its intent to suspend its subsidy-free service at Clovis, New Mexico, effective March 31, 1988. By a succession of orders beginning with Order 88-3-65, March 29, 1988, the Department pro- hibited Mesa's suspension of service while the Department sought proposals from carriers interested in providing essential air ser- vice at Clovis. The Department has received a proposal from Mesa Airl ines to serve Clovis, and the staff of the Office of Aviation Analysis has negotiated a rate agreement with the carrier based on that proposal. Nevertheless, it will be some time before we complete our carrier selection procedures in this case. Since the carrier filed its suspension notice on March 1, 1988, it is eligible for compensation beginning March 31, 1988. Accordingly, we will authorize an interim rate of compensation of $133,651 on an annualized basis, based on the staff's rate conference results, effective March 31, 1988, until further Department action. (See Appendix A to this order.) This rate is contingent upon the carrier's offering two nonstop round trips per weekday and per weekend between Clovis and Albuquerque with the first round trip scheduled to originate at Clovis each weekday and each weekend. See Appendix B to this order for a complete statement of the essential air service to be provided by Mesa Airlines at Clovis. This order is issued under authority assigned in 14 CFR 385.14(b). ACCORDINGLY, 1. The Department sets the annualized interim rate of compensa- tion for losses incurred in the provision of essential air service as described in Appendix B to this order by Mesa Airlines, Inc.#
