OST-99-6260


Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd

OST-99-6260 September 24, 1999 Ninety-Day Notice to Terminate Essential Air Service at
Mattoon, IL 

The twelve weekly round trip flights operated between Mattoon and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport by Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. under the United Express marketing identity cannot effectively compete against the significantly greater number of flights to a variety of connecting hubs offered at other nearby airports such as Springfield and Champaign/Urbana. Great Lakes Aviation is hampered in its efforts to improve its schedule offering between Mattoon and Chicago because of the high density rule limiting access at O'Hare International airport and the unavailability of slots or slot exemptions.
