                           ORDER OF INVESTIGATION
                        1/
     By tariff revisions-  filed February 19, and effective March 24, 1971,
Overseas National Airways, Inc. (ONA) proposes to establish charges for
cargo charters in its DC-9 aircraft from Atlanta to New York of $1,256 and
from New York to Detroit of $806.  The charges would yield $1.68 and $1.67
per aircraft mile, respectively.

     Airlift International, Inc. (Airlift)submitted  a complaint requesting an
expeditious  investigation of the proposal to be conducted contemporaneously
or consolidated with the investigation in Docket 22975, discussed below.

     No justification for the proposed charges was submitted by ONA.

     By Order 71-1-11, dated January 5, 1971, Docket 22975, the Board insti-
tuted an investigation of a charter charge proposed by ONA from Atlanta to
Detroit, also yielding $1.68, on the ground that it may be unduly low.
Consistent with the above order and in view of all other relevant factors,
the Board finds that ONA's currently proposed charter charges may be unjust,
unreasonable, unjustly discriminatory, unduly preferential, unduly prejudicial,
or otherwise unlawful and should be investigated.  In view of the similarities
of the issues, we shall consolidate the investigation of ONA's current pro-
posals with the investigation instituted in Order 71-1-11.  Although we shall
not direct expedition of that investigation, we intend to proceed as soon as
practicable in the light of other matters pending before the Board.

     Accordingly, pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, and
particularly sections 204(a) and 1002 thereof,
