"The airline seeks to shift its flying under Part 121's safety regulations to its own surrogate that will operate the same aircraft but under public charter rules and Part 135's safety regulations, with fewer seats and less experienced and qualified first officers." It accused SkyWest of attempting to "roll back the clock and skirt aviation safety rules that have led to a 99.8% reduction in airline passenger fatalities in the United States". In the April 26 letter, the world's largest pilot union described SWC as an attempt by SkyWest to substitute Essential Air Service (EAS) flying with an "alter-ego charter subsidiary operating essentially as a scheduled operation, but at a lesser level of safety". SkyWest Airlines (OO, Salt Lake City) has dismissed as "baseless, inaccurate, and misleading" concerns about its Part 135 charter subsidiary SkyWest Charter (SWC) expressed by the Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA) in a letter to US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. US's SkyWest responds to ALPA over charter concerns - 19:19 UTC

Contour Airlines has an interline partnership with American Airlines, which operates hubs at both Charlotte International and Chicago O'Hare. The airline's 30-seater Embraer jet fleet includes six EMB-135ERs, four EMB-135LRs and seven EMB-140LRs, according to the ch-aviation fleets advanced module. "We believe this will be in the best interest of the community maximising the benefits to the travelling public, and will result in no change in subsidy," it said.Īccording to its initial January 2023 proposal for the Owensboro EAS contract, Contour Airlines operates 30-seater Embraer regional jets as 14 CFR Part 380 public charters on the route over a 36-month term at a subsidy of USD5.6 million annually. In a separate letter, the board of the Owensboro Daviess County Regional Airport, on behalf of the Owensboro and Daviess County community, expressed support for the hub change requested by Contour Airlines. In its May 3 application to the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Contour Airlines says the request follows consultations with the Owensboro community in Daviess County, Kentucky.Ĭontour Airlines seeks permission to shift its 12 weekly round trips provided to the city, but there will be no change in the gauge of service and no change in the subsidy. Contour Airlines (LF, Tupelo) has requested a hub change for its Essential Air Service (EAS) at Owensboro from Charlotte International to Chicago O'Hare effective August 1 for the duration of its contract.
