Great Lakes is the only carrier providing scheduled air service at all three cities, providing three round trips a day between Iron Mountain and Chicago-O'Hare International Airport with 30-seat Brasilia aircraft, and between Williston and Denver, and North Platte and Denver, with 19-seat Beech 1900 ah-craft. On March 2, 1999, Great Lakes filed 90-day notices of intent to suspend its subsidy-free essential air service at all three communities, effective May 31, 1999. Great Lakes states that its revenues on all three routes are currently insufficient to cover its costs of operating the service. In addition, it states that low-fare competition at Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, has had an impact on North Platte traffic.

Issued July 21, 1999 | Order Extending Service Obligation | Ninety Day Notice to Terminate Essential Air Service at Iron Mountain/Kingsford, Michigan/North Platte/Williston, North Dakota |
On March 2, 1999, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd., d/b/a United Express, tiled 90-day notices of intent to suspend its subsidy-free essential air service at Iron Mountain/Kingsford, Michigan, Williston, North Dakota, and North Platte, Nebraska, effective May 31, 1999. By Order 99-5-12, May 24, 1999, the Department prohibited Great Lakes from suspending service at the communities for 30 days beyond the end of its 90-day notice period, through June 29, 1999, and requested proposals from carriers interested in providing replacement service at the three communities. As required by 49 U.S.C. 41734, we have extended Great Lakes’ service obligation for additional 30day periods, the latest through July 29, 1999, by Order 99-6-19. On June 10, 1999, Great Lakes submitted proposals, with subsidy, for two years at the three communities. We have also received a competing proposal from Equity Air Holdings, Inc. The final deadline for submissions is August 2. Since this case will not be completed before the end of the current 30-day hold-in period, in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 41734(c), we will extend Great Lakes’ service obligation at the three communities for an additional 30 days, through August 30, 1999, or until replacement service actually begins, whichever occurs first.
