Fitness Determination of

     ENTERPRISE AIRLINES, INC.

as a commuter air carrier under   :
section 419(c)(2) of the Federal  :
Aviation Act


                       ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Section 419(c)(2) of the Federal Aviation Act directs us to
determine whether companies proposing to provide scheduled
passenger service as commuter air carriers are fit, willing, and
able to perform such service, and to ensure that all operations
relating to this service conform to the safety standards estab-
lished by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 1/ In making
fitness findings, the Department uses a three-part test that
reconciles the Airline Deregulation Act's liberal entry policy
with Congress' concern for operational safety and consumer
protection. The three areas of inquiry that must be addressed in
order to determine a carrier's fitness are whether the applicant:
(1) will have-the managerial skills and technical ability to
conduct the proposed operations; (2) if not internally financed,
has a plan for financing that, if carried out, will generate
resources sufficient to commence operations without undue risk to
consumers; and (3) will comply with the Federal Aviation Act and
regulations imposed by federal and state agencies. 2/ We must
also determine that the applicant is a U.S. citizen.
We have received an application from Enterprise Airlines, Inc., to
conduct commuter operations, and, upon review of the information
in this application, and the safety and compliance information on
the carrier received from the FAA, we tentatively conclude that
Enterprise is a U.S. citizen and has met the fitness test to


1/ Part 204 of our rules sets forth the evidence we need to make
fitness findings (ER-1180, 45 FR 42593, June 25, 1980).
2/ For a more complete discussion of the requirements of section
419(c)(2) and the fitness program, see Order 81-3-10, March 2,
1981, issued by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
