OGDENSBURG -- Four airlines will hold presentations at an Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority special meeting on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

SkyWest, Cape Air, Boutique and Southern Airways Express will make presentations with hopes of securing Ogdensburg’s Essential Air Service Contract.

Three of the airlines including Boutique, Cape and Southern Airlines made pitches in Massena last week.

In Massena, Cape Air is proposing three daily flights to and from Albany, with the outbound flights continuing to Boston Logan Airport and JFK Airport in New York City. Two of the flights would continue to Logan, and a third to JFK. They would fly twin-propeller nine-passenger Tecnam Traveler planes, which allow for two pilots but are certified to fly with one. The cabins are not pressurized. Cape Air’s bid is part of a joint pitch being made to Massena and Ogdensburg.

In Massena, Boutique Air is proposing to keep their daily Boston flights, and add flights to Baltimore. They are planning to use new Italian-made Piaggio airplanes. Their vice president of business development, Tom Warren, said the Piaggios are designed with Massena's airport in mind. At that presentation it was noted that a separate pitch would be made in Ogdensburg.

Southern Airlines said the Massena Town Council would get to pick where the flights go.

Stan Little, Southern's CEO, said they would fly to destinations recommended by the board, to the DOT, He was referring to the United States Department of Transportation, which oversees the EAS program. Their main airplanes would be Pilatus PC12s, which Little said are from 2012 or newer. Their backup is a 2008 Cessna Caravan, he said.

The Southern Airlines proposal would make Massena one of their maintenance hubs.

A separate pitch is being made to Ogdensburg.

Skywest, which currently enjoys Ogdensburg’s essential air service contract will also give a presentation. The airline notably offered the city flights to Chicago and Washington D.C.
