Notice of Intent of
     SIMMONqS AIRLINES, INC.

to suspend service at Jackson,
Michigan, under section 419 of     :
the Federal Aviation Act of
1958, as amended


Docket 44370


                        ORDER EXTINDING SERVICE OBLIGATION

On September 21, 1986, Simmons Airlines, Inc., filed a 90-day notice of its
intent to suspend all of its subsidized essential air service at Jackson,
Michigan, effective December 21, 1986.

Since the proposed suspension at Jackson by Simmons would deprive the ocmnunity
of all of its essential air service, by Order 86-11-21, November 10, 1986, the
Department prohibited Simncns from suspending service at Jackson and required
the carrier to maintain service for a 30-day period, while we instituted an
essential air service replacement case. As required by section 419, we have
extended Simmons' service obligation for additional 30-day periods. The latest
extension, through August 12, 1988, was issued by Order 88-7-23.

By Order 86-11-21, the Department also requested proposals from carriers
interested in providing essential air service, with subsidy if necessary, at
Jackson. We received proposals from Hub Express and Alliance Airlines. We
conducted rate conferences with each carrier and reached agreement on final
service and subsidy proposals. A sunmary of these final proposals was prepared
and sent to the civic officials of Jackson requesting their comments. The
community subsequently submitted comments stating that they did not support the
selection of either carrier to provide essential air service at the point.

By Order 87-12-12, the Department deferred action on the carrier selection case
for Jackson since the community did not support any of the proposals submitted
by Alliance or Hub Express. The order allowed carriers which may be interested
in submitting proposals to serve Alpena, Sault Ste. Marie and Battle Creek, a
period of 30 days to submit a proposal inorporating service at Jackson that
would be more effective and efficient than the current proposals. New
proposals submitted by three carriers are now being reviewed.
