Dear Ms. Prete:
Subject: Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport
Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Essential Air Services
On behalf of the citizens of Cape Girardeau and the
surrounding community, I would like to submit to you their desires
for airline services at the Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport. Air
travel is a vital link in the inter -modal aspects of transportation
for this region allowing for access by both business and personal
travelers.
On September 4, 1991, Trans States Airline, which operates as
Trans World Express (TWE) through Cape Girardeau, issued a 90 day
intent to terminate service in this market. Trans States Airline
has operated in Cape Girardeau without EAS compensation since their
acquisition of the route from Air Midwest Airline in February of
1991. Trans States has operated this route at a loss and feel they
must receive the EAS subsidy to remain in the market.
It is the desire of this community that air service to St.
Louis be maintained. St. Louis is the designated EAS hub for Cape
Girardeau, and the bulk of travelers in this area use St. Louis to
access the national air service system. However, the need for
additional destinations and availability is of extreme importance
to travelers using this facility. In 14 CRF Section 398.2, it is
indicated that there is a possibility of the community acquiring a
dual hub designation if there is sufficient traffic and the
community requests the designation.
In response to a request for information from local business
leaders as to the most desirable locations for additional services,
several respondents indicated that Memphis, Tennessee, would be the
�. first choice, followed by Nashville, Tennessee. There is also a
Ms. Linda Prete
Page 2
t October 30, 1991
very large demand for services to Chicago, 1llinois. Traffic
statistics show that approximately 50 percent of the travelers in
the area are going to Chicago for their business or connections to
other destinations worldwide.
It is the request of the City of Cape Girardeau that a dual
hub designation be granted in this market. With this designation,
the chances of attracting an additional air carrier will increase.
upon securing an additional air carrier, the enplanements will
increase, thereby decreasing the need for subsidies.
We are looking forward to working with you on this issue. We
thank you for your time and consideration. 1f you have any
questions or comments, please advise me at your earliest
convenience.
sincerely,
Mark J. Seesing
Airport Manager

Dear Mr. Seesing:
In response to your request to comment on the type of
service and to what destinations we would have interest, I
would want to respond in a more general manner than possibly
you require. The most of our concern as an economic
development group that covers the entire Southeast Missouri
Region, thus our comments by definition are more general in
scope.
The most important point I feel we want to make is that
the Cape Municipal Airport is a vital link in the overall
multi -modal transportation system for the region. We feel
that a dual hub designation for this facility is extremely
important for planning into the 21st century. The discussion
seems to center generally around which comes first, the use or
the designation. We contend that the designation would prompt
eventual use. Thus, we would encourage both private and
business use of this municipal airport that will in effect be
providing regional service.
I realize it is politically sensitive to refer to this
facility as a regional airport, but with it's location next to
I-55, the Southeast Missouri Regional Port Authority, the
Thebes Bridge and in a few short years, the coast to coast
highway known as I-66, the role this airport can play is an
inter -modal transportation system will be international in
scope.
As I mentioned, I do not have specific services in mind
nor specific destinations, but I do have a whole -hearted
support for the continued use of this airport as part of the
transportation system for Southeast Missouri.

Dear Mark:
In regards to air service as it affects Blair industries,
Scott City, St. Louis. While a good market, it did not seem to
provide the reliable departures and on-time service that we enjoyed
to Memphis via Northwest, four years ago.
There are three major areas of flight usage for Blair
Industries:
1. Customers and prospective customers 50 per year
a. 2. Admin. and Operational Employees 50 per year
3. Sales Personnel _ 150 per year
estimated.. 250 per year
Hope this information is of value.

Dear Mark:
This is to indicate to you our strong support for the
designation of Cape Girardeau as a dual source hub for air
services. Our firm uses TWE to St. Louis to interconnect primarily
with TWA and Southwest Airlines out of the St. Louis -Lambert Field.
However, we have a serious need for timely and appropriate air
service to Nashville and the Southeastern United States. We will
be happy to support and testify to the need for that kind of
service on the part of our firm, as well as for the whole region.
Please let me know when we may be needed to testify.

Thank you for your October I letter explaining the
service of Trans World Express.
I travel extensively for our company, and there are
eight other individuals here who travel less fre-
quently, covering approximately one-half million
miles annually out of both St. Louis and Memphis.
We would welcome the opportunity to secure economical
connections from Cape Girardeau to these cities for
convenient connections to our ultimate destinations
throughout the United States.

Dear Mr. Seesing,
This letter is in reply to your request as described in your
letter dated October 1, in which you explained the current situation
of air service in this area.
Type of service and destination:
Cape Girardeau Chicago
Cape Girardeau Memphis Atlanta
Cape Girardeau Jefferson City Kansas City
>r Set plane operation would make the trip shorter and more
efficient.
Approximate number of passengers:
It is very difficult to predict this number. It will
depend on the reliability of freight departure and
arrival on schedule.
More than ten passengers of our business colleagues
are foreseen to use the service to the above destinations,
but these service routes would also be useful for the
community people if they operate in good reputation.
I hope that my comments are in conformance with your
requests.
Sincerely yours,
SSmio R fniI

This is in response of your letter of October 1, 1991.
Our firm has a twin engine airplane that is stationed at the
Cape Girardeau Airport.
On trips that are outside the range of our plane we use a
commuter service to utilize flights out of Lambert in St. Louis.
I would estimate the times we would utilize this service to be
6 times per year.

Dear Mr. Long:
As-you—may or may not know, Trans World Express, the commuter
airline operating from Cape Girardeau to St. Louis, has filed
notice with the Department of Transportation to terminate service
in this market. I have been advised from the management of TWE
that the reason for this notification is an attempt to secure
essential air service subsidy to continue supplying this service.
For a bit of history, Cape Girardeau has for some time been
considered as an essential air service market by the D.O.T. What
this means is that any carrier desiring to service this area may
apply for and receive compensation to operate the service at a
break even level. This regulation then requires the carrier to
supply the service with a certain type of equipment and a specific
minimum amount of available passenger seats. For this market the
carrier is required to use a twin engine aircraft with two crew
members and to supply a minimum of at least 48 seats in each
direction per day.
TWE up until this time has operated between Cape Girardeau and
St Louis at a loss electing not to participate in the EAS program.
They now feel they can no longer operate this way and, therefore,
the reason for filing the notification.
According to EAS regulations, the D.O.T. must now petition
other carriers to supply proposals stipulating their desires and
costs to service this market. It is also the time the community
can voice its concerns and requests with regard to the type of air
service the community desires. The regulation does allow for a
market to have two designated hubs to allow for adequate passenger
availability. However, the D.O.T. has indicated to me that this
may be very difficult to accomplish but not impossible. The
requirements to have a dual hub designation would be to have:
"HOME OF MISSOURI STATE FLAG"
- 2 -
1. Strong commercial ties.
2. Close geographically.
3. Political needs.
Showing a need for an additional destination citing these
guidelines may influence the D.O.T. to allow for a dual hub
designation for Cape Girardeau.
What I am requesting from you is to submit in writing to me
what type of service and to which destination would be best for
your company. Also include an approximate number of passengers you
may have travel on an annual basis. I will collate this
information and submit it to the D.O.T. to establish this
community's requests in this issue. The time frame for this
process is a very short 90 day period. If you could take time from
your schedules to reply, I would like to forward your comments to
the D.O.T. by mid October.
I thank you for taking time to read this and thank you in
advance for your comments. If you require any further information,
please let me know. I will try to answer all your questions
Sincerely,

AIP CONFERENCE
Description of Breakout Sessions
NEW AIRPORT SIGN STANDARDS
This session will highlight the new sign standards and address actions airport
operators will need to initiate to meet the new standards. Advisory Circular
(AC) 150/5340-18C, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, became effective July
31, 1991 and will impact airports certificated under Federal Aviation
Regulation Part 139. Change 1 to AC 150/5340-1F, Marking of Paved Areas on
Airports, will also be discussed. The presentation will be conducted by
personnel of the Airport Certification and Safety Section, Safety and
Standards Branch, Airports Division.
AIRPORT PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE
Poor maintenance of airport pavements is the result of a variety of causes,
among which are lack of funds, untrained personnel, and lack of adequate
information. This session will address specific types of pavement distress,
their probable causes, inspection guidelines, and recommended methods of
repair. Typical examples of pavement distress found within the Central Region
will be presented and, standard and innovative repair methods will be
discussed. The presentation will be made by Rodney Joel, Central Region
Paving Engineer.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES. CERTIFIED TESTING LABS, AND SAFETY PLANS
This session will describe the minimum qualifications for personnel,
equipment, and facilities responsible for construction management services.
The discussion will include examples of what the consulting engineer should
include in the construction management program (CMP). Since certified testing
labs are required as part of the CMP, the presentation will include what it
takes for a testing lab to become certified. The necessary elements of a
safety plan will be discussed including specific examples. Presentations will
be made by Glenn Helm and Doug Johnson of the Safety and Standards Branch,
Airports Division.
AIRPORT DESIGN STANDARDS
The Planning Section will conduct a presentation on Change 1 to the Advisory
Circular (AC) 150/5300-13, Airport Design. Change 1 was approved on June 5,
1991. There are a number of significant revisions which will be of interest
to airport sponsors and especially consultants. The session will include
representatives from FAA headquarters who are responsible for preparing the
original AC as well as the change. They will discuss the reasons for Change
and what additional revisions are being contemplated for the future.
Discussion of problems that are encountered in applying the Design Standards
`� are welcomed.
%� NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS
This session will provide a summary of the latest requirements of the HIDES
permitting process as well as discuss when and what you need to file a permit.
This session will be presented by Mr. Clark Gunion and staff from Law
Environmental Group.
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (UST) REMOVAL
A presentation will be made concerning the process to be followed in the
removal of underground storage tanks in order to comply with the applicable
current rules and regulations. Problems that can happen in this process will
also be addressed. This session will be presented by Mr. Clark Gunion and
staff from Law Environmental Group.
AIRPORT -OWNER COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS
This session will provide airport sponsors with information relative to the
FAA's airport Compliance Program. Sponsor education as a means of achieving
voluntary compliance and surveillance methods utilized to identify problem
areas will be discussed. Those obligations which most often require
clarification and/or additional guidance will be identified and discussed.
This presentation is being coordinated by Ellie Anderson, Planning and
Programming Branch, Airports Division.
PAVEMENT SURFACE SMOOTHNESS
This session will provide both an engineer's and contractor's view of how a
profilograph specification can be used to assure a smooth pavement surface.
Things that the field engineer should and should not do in order to ensure a
smooth pavement surface will be pointed out. In addition, actions that the
contractor can and should take to produce a smooth pavement will be
identified. The presentation will be made by Mick Halter, Kansas Department
of Transportation Metro Engineer, and Wayne Van Meter, General Manager Paving,
Clarkson Construction Company.
A NEW TWIST TO HANDS-ON INFORMATION
During the breakout sessions, Luigi Iori, from FAA headquarters, will be here
to discuss with individuals or small groups (2 to 4 persons) the computer
program for Airport Design (Version 2.2). He is working on Version 2.3 which
may be completed by conference time. This opportunity should be of benefit to
participants that have questions or have experienced problems with the
program. These discussions will run continuously during the breakout
sessions, providing ample time for one-on-one problem solving.
