Res 1781 3/2/1976RESOLUTION NO. /71/
RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE APPLICATION BY
TRANS REGIONAL AIRLINES BEFORE THE TEXAS
AERONAUTICS COMMISSION FOR A TEXAS AIR
CARRIER CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIECE
AND NECESSITY.
WHEREAS, Trans Regional Airlines has filed an application
with the Texas Aeronautics Commission for a Texas Air Carrier
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, which applica-
tion has been assigned Docket No. 76-3; and,
WHEREAS, in such application Trans Regional Airlines
requests authority to provide scheduled air service for passen-
gers and cargo over six routes in Texas, two of which would
include Wichita Falls; one such route would be service between
Austin, Brownwood, Abilene and Wichita Falls; the other such
route would be service between Wichita Falls and Lubbock; and,
WHEREAS, the Aviation Advisory Board for the City of
Wichita Falls has considered this matter, and has recommended
that the Board of Aldermen oppose the application of Trans
Regional Airlines, which recommendation has been concurred in
by the City staff; and,
WHEREAS, it appears to the Board of Aldermen that the
public interest will best be served if such application by
Trans Regional Airlines is denied for the reasons that there
appears to be no necessity for the proposed service, there is
no evidence showing that Trans Regional Airlines has the capability
or the financial strength to provide this service, there is no
adequate space in the Municipal Airport terminal building or
air cargo building to accommodate another airline, and the granting
of authority for service which is not necessary will dilute
the market and possibly erode the level of service being offered
by our present airlines;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF
THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
The Board of Aldermen opposes the application of Trans Regional
miter
Airlines filed with the Texas Aeronautics Commission in Docket
No. 76-3 , and the City Manager is authorized to notify the
Texas Aeronautics Commission of this action.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 2nd day of March, 1976.
