Express Airlines I, Inc. d/b/a Northwest Airlink

Order 02-3-17
OST-00-7856
Issued March 19, 2002
Served March 22, 2002
*Not Previously Released
Order Extending Service Obligation 90-Day Notice of Intent to Terminate Service Muscle Shoals, Alabama

On August 24, 2000, Express Airlines 1, Inc., d/b/a Northwest Airlink, filed a 90-day notice of its intent to suspend its subsidy-free service at Owensboro, KY, Muscle Shoals, AL, and Jackson, TN, effective November 22, 2000. By Order 2000-10-3, October 2, 2000, the Department prohibited Northwest Airlink from suspending service at the communities for an initial 30-day period, through December 22, 2000, and stated that we would issue subsequent 30-day hold-in orders until we could secure replacement service. We issued Order 2001-3-21, selecting Corporate Airlines to provide service at Jackson and Owensboro. That service began on May 1, 2001. At Muscle Shoals, we have extended Northwest Airlink's service obligation for additional 30-day periods, the latest through March 25, 2002, by Order 2002-2-15.

Both Northwest Airlink and Corporate Airlines have submitted subsidy proposals for service at Muscle Shoals. However, since this case will not be completed before the end of the current hold-in period, and as required by 49 U.S.C. 41734, we must continue to hold Northwest Airlink in at Muscle Shoals for an additional 30-day period.
