Application of

    FRONTIER AIRLINES, INC.               Docket 38404

for an exemption from section 401(j):


                     ORDER GRANTING EXEMPTION

     By telegram, on June 30, 1980, Frontier Airlines requested an
emergency exemption, effective July 1, 1980, to amend its service pattern
at Salina and Manhattan, Kansas, without complying with the 90-day notice
requirements in section 401(j). This service pattern proposed by Fron-
tier for each point does not meet the stop requirement contained in the
Essential Air Service (EAS) determinations for Salina and Manhattan as
set forth in Order 80-4-220, April 30, 1980.   In support of its request,
Frontier states that Order 80-4-220 was served on May 14, 1980, after
Frontier had filed 401(j)(2) notices covering its July 1, 1980, schedule
change; that it did not discover until June 27, 1980, that its July
schedule change would reduce service at Salina and Manhattan below the
essential level; that its service at each point fails to meet EAS levels
solely on the basis of intermediate stops on flights in one direction;
that the total number of flights in each market exceeds the two roundtrips
required by the EAS determinations; that the communities involved do not
object to the exemption request; and that, if either of the affected com-
munities or the state subsequently objects, Frontier will adjust its
schedules to comply with the EAS definitions.

     The Bureau, acting under delegated authority, granted the exemption
by telephone on June 30, 1980. We are confirming that action here. Our
decision is based on Salina's and Manhattan's support of the exemption
request,l/ Frontier's provision of additional frequencies in each market
in lieu of insufficient nonstop or one-stop service, and Frontier's com-
mitment to restore service to EAS levels if the community subsequently
objects.

1/ We have confirmed that neither community objects to Frontier's
exemption application. See summaries of ex-parte communications.
