Order Extending Service Obligation | Word

On January 15, 2003, Corporate Airlines filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its unsubsidized service at Quincy effective April 15, 2003. By Order 2003-2-26, February 28, 2003, the Department prohibited Corporate from suspending service beyond the end of its 90-day notice period, through May 14, 2003, and requested proposals, with subsidy if necessary, from carriers interested in providing replacement service.

Although we have received proposals, this case will not be completed before the end of the current 30-day hold-in period. Thus, in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 41734(c), we will extend Corporate’s service obligation at Quincy for an additional 30 days, or until replacement service actually begins, whichever occurs first.
