AIR TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 271.7  Subsidy payout formula.



    (a) Subsidy will be paid by the Department to the air carrier 

monthly, based on the subsidy rate established by the Department for the 

carrier under this part. Payments will not vary except as provided in 

this section.

    (b) While a carrier's subsidy rate will not vary even if actual 

revenues or costs differ from projections, the actual amount of each 

payment may vary depending on the following factors:

    (1) Seasonal characteristics of the carrier's operations at the 

eligible place;

    (2) The actual number of flights completed, aircraft miles flown, 

available seat-miles flown, or variations in other operational elements 

upon which the subsidy rate is based; or

    (3) Adjustments to the carrier's subsidy required by Sec. 271.8(b).

    (c) Payments will continue for the duration of the rate term 

established under Sec. 271.8 provided that the carrier continues to 

provide the required service.
