RESOLUTION NO. 40
(Series of 1974)
WHEREAS, the U. S. civil Aeronautics Board did
in its Order 74-10-118 deny the Petition for Reconsidera-
tion of Rocky Mountain Airways (RMA), Inc., for an
exemption pursuant to Section 416(b) of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and
WHEREAS, by the denial of the petition the Board
reinstated the earlier denial of the RMA application for
an exemption to utilize two turbo-prop F-27 aircraft
with a maximum seating capacity of 40 passengers in (1)
scheduled air transportation between Denver and Aspen,
Colorado, and between Denver and Aspen via the intermediate
point vail/Eagle and (2) off route charter operations,
subject~ to the limitation that such large aircraft
operations not exceed 50 per cent of the base-miles flown
by it in scheduled service with large aircraft, for a five
year period, and
WHEREAS, in denying the application, the Board
concluded, in essence, that RMA's proposed turbo-prop
operation would result in divers'ion from certified operations
without sufficient compensating public benefits, and
WHEREAS, the Aspen City Council wishes to state
its opposition to this determination and request recon-
sideration of the same,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO:
1. That it does question the determinations
made by the civil Aeronautics Board in its original Order
74-7-107, dated July 24, 1974, and its order denying the
RMA Petition for Reconsideration, 74-10-118, and wishes to

make a request that the applications made by RMA for
extended service be given additional consideration.

and the service extension a necessary adjunct to the
Sardy Field Airport services offered to the City of Aspen
and Pitkin County, with their tourist economy.
3. That the City Attorney forward a copy of this
Resolution at her earliest convenience to the Civil
Aeronautics Board, Washington, D.C. so as to apprise the
