GALDONES:Commissioner Fujikawa? <br />FUJIKAWA:I think a 10-year permit will be good because through the years as a <br />Commissioner position, I€ve seen where we had tremendous amount of backlog items and these <br />people have a track record on it as far as being a stable business here. Also, I had a question. I <br />believe it was 4-5 years ago that I brought up the question, is that, your airport, your heliport, can <br />that be utilized for emergency landing for the aircraft that goes to Waimea Airport if in case <br />there€s trouble? <br />CHEVALIER:Yes, absolutely. The, we€ve had the Fire Department land there. We€ve <br />had, why don€t you mention all the different people that land -. It€s open to anybody as a <br />resource. <br />FUJIKAWA:Yeah, I€m not referring to any of the commercial jumbo jet, no. <br />CHEVALIER:No. <br />FUJIKAWA:It€s just those smaller aircraft. <br />LINCOLN:The helicopters can. The airplanes in an emergency, if there was some <br />reasontheycouldn€thaveanyplaceelse,thereisanoldrunway,andtheaircraftcoulduseitin <br />emergencies. Whether it would be a good idea to use that versus the golf course fairway would <br />be up to the pilot to make, but it is no longer an airstrip that€s maintained for airplanes going on. <br />FUJIKAWA:So emergency-wise -? <br />LINCOLN:Emergencies he could if he had no other use, you know, the highway <br />versus that. <br />FUJIKAWA:Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Further questions? Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:A question for Ms. Bail. You have the Blue Hawaiian folks here <br />explaining about their operation and all. Is there any, are you folks committed to that Blue <br />Hawaiian will, in fact, continue to be the operator and the only operator out of this airport for the <br />period of this permit? <br />BAIL:I believe the current condition on the permit requires us to negotiate in <br />good faith with other operators. I believe that€s Condition 11 that€s part of our permit now. You <br />know, we need to comply with that current condition to the extent it remains in the permit, I <br />guess, would be my answer. <br />GRAHAM:I understand. Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Alameda. <br />10 <br /> <br />
