Colgan Rebids EAS Routes

Facing rising fuel costs, Colgan Air Inc. will re-bid the majority of its Essential Air Service (EAS) routes. Because EAS does not have a mechanism to provide for unforeseeable cost increases, Colgan must file to exit the market, followed by a re-bid at a higher rate.
Colgan filed to terminate service at Altoona and Johnstown, Pa.; Clarksburg, Morgantown and Parkersburg, W. Va.; and Presque Isle, Maine. Colgan intends to respond to the subsequent request for proposal when the Department of Transportation issues a request for Essential Air Service. Colgan Air Inc. serves the EAS communities under the US Airways Express and United Express banners.
