(Board of Supervisors make their recommendation)…On December 12, 2017 the US Department of Transportation released a Request for Proposals.

The RFP ‘s were to provide Essential Air Service in Imperial County. As a result, four RFP’s were received. This week, the County Board of Supervisors heard presentations from three of the four. Following the presentations, the Board decided to recommend the current carrier Mokulele Airlines. Their current contract is almost over and the Department of Transpiration wants to sign a new 2-year contract, and they are seeking recommendations from communities in Imperial County. The DOT will make the final decision as to which carrier receives the new contract, after reviewing the recommendations.
