                             CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD

Notice of intent of

     MID-SOUTH AIRLINES, INC.                Docket 41929

to suspend service at Danville,
Virginia, pursuant to section
419 of the Federal Aviation Act
of 1958, as amended


                         ORDER REQUIRING CONTINUATION OF
                         ESSENTIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION

     On January 9, 1984, Mid-South Airlines, Inc., filed a 90-day notice of its
intent to suspend all of its service at Danville, Virginia, effective April 8,
1984. 1/

     Since the suspension of service at Danville by Air Virginia/Mid-South
would deprive the community of essential air service, in accordance with
section 419(a)(6) of the Act, by Order 84-3-14, dated March 1, 1984, the Board
prohibited the carrier frcm suspending its service at Danville and extended the
carrier's service obligation for a 30-day period, through May 7, 1984. We have
renewed Air Virginia's obligation for additional 30-day periods. The latest
period extends through October 4, 1 984.

     In the same order, the Board approved a subcontract arrangement between
Air Virginia and Wheeler Airlines, effective March 1, 1984, under which Wheeler
provides essential air service at Danville in place of Air Virginia on an
interim basis.

     By Order 84-8-9, August 2, 1984, the Board tentatively approved a
use-it-or-lose-it test of essential air service at Danville and selected
Wheeler Airlines to provide the service. Objections to that tentative decision
were due by September 10, 1984. No objections were received. We expect that
the Board will issue a final order on this matter within the next several
weeks.

     Since we will not complete the carrier replacement case by October 4,
1 984, we must require Air Virginia (through its subcontract arrangement with
Wheeler Airlines) to continue to assure the provision of essential air service
at Danville. Therefore, in accordance with section 419(a)(6) of the Act, we
will extend Air Virginia's service obligation at Danville for an additional
30-day period.


1/   Pursuant to a contract of purchase, effective March 1, 1984, under which
Mid-South Airlines merged with Air Virginia, Air Virginia assumed the essential
air service obligation of Mid-South at Danville.
