    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
    CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD
       WASHINGTON, D. C.

Issued Under Delegated Authority
        February 1, 1984


Notice of intent of

     YUKON AIR SERVICE,  INC.

to suspend service at five
communities in Alaska, under
section 419 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as
amended


Docket 41634


                       ORDER EXTENDING SERVICE REQUIREMENT

     By Order 83-10-6, dated  October 4, 1983, the Board required Yukon  Air
Service d/b/a Air North  to continue providing essential air transportation  at
Birch Creek,  Chandalar, Circle Hot Springs, Minto and Wiseman,  Alaska, for a
30-day period through  December 6, 1983, and initiated a review  of the com-
munities' essential  air service determinations as a first step  of processing,
if needed, a carrier  selection case.  In accordance with section 419  of the
Act, we have extended  the carrier's service obligation for successive  30-day
periods, as necessary,  to ensure the continuation of service at these  com-
munities while we complete  the essential air service cases.  The mst   recent
extension, through February 4,  1984, was issued by Order 84-1-2, dated
January 3, 1984.

     We are awaiting the State's  views of the essential air service  require-
ments at the five communities.

     Since we will not have completed  this case prior to the expiration  of Air
North's current service  obligation, in accordance with the provisions  of
section 419 of the Act, we will  extend the carrier's service obligation
requirements for an additional 30-day  period, through March 5, 1984,  or until a
fit, willing and able carrier has been  found to be capable of inaugurating  and
maintaining reliable essential  air service, whichever occurs first.

     ACCORDINGLY,

     I.  We require Yukon Air Service,  Inc. d/b/a Air North to maintain
essential air service at Birch Creek, Chandalar,  Circle Hot Springs, Minto  and
Wiseman, Alaska, for an additional  period of 30 days from February 5,  1984,
through March 5, 1984, or until a  fit, willing and able carrier capable  of
providing reliable service  inaugurates service meeting the essential  air
service requirements, whichever  occurs first;

     2.  We direct Yukon Air Service,  Inc. d/b/a Air North to retain  all books,
records, and other sources and summary documentation,  including copies  of
interline flight coupons, to support claims  for compensation for losses  for the
service the carrier is being required  to maintain; and
