                        ORDER EXTENDING APPROVAL

     Caribbean-Atlantic Airlines, Inc. (Caribair) and Eastern Air Lines,
Inc. (Eastern) jointly request approval, under section 412 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, (the Act) of an amendment to the Interim
Management Agreement between Caribair and Eastern 1/ extending the effec-
tive date of such agreement to January 31., 1972. 2/ In addition, the
applicants request concomitant extension of the Board's approval under
section 408 of the Act of the temporary acquisition of control of Caribair
by Eastern as a result of the terms of the agreement during the same
period.

     The parties allege that further extension of the agreement, under
which Eastern furnishes Caribair with financial, technical and manage-
ment assistance and personnel, is the only means by which the collapse
of Caribair and the discontinuance of essential services can be avoided.
The parties have furnished the following updated financial information
similar to that required by Order 71-6-145: Eastern will have advanced
to Caribair by December 31, 1971, a total of $1,770,000 in cash, goods,
and services and this amount will be increased during January by
$325000   3/

and by month thereafter were approved by Orders 71-6-145, June 29, 1971;
71-10-2, October 1. 1971; 71-11-7, November 1, 1971; and 71-12-5,
