NOTICE OF SILVER AIRWAYS INTENT TO TERMINATE SCHEDULED AIR SERVICE AT GLASGOW, GLENDIVE, HAVRE,

Silver Airways respectfully serves notice upon the Department of Transportation, in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 323.3 and 

14 C.F.R. § 323.4, of its intent to discontinue scheduled subsidized Essential Air Service between Glasgow, Glendive, Havre, 

Lewistown, Miles City, Sidney, Wolf Point, Montana and Billings, Montana. Commensurate with the end of subsidy eligibility, 

Silver Airways will end service to Lewistown and Miles City on July 15, 2013. Further, Silver Airways hereby serves 90-day 

notice of its intent to discontinue service to the communities of Glasgow, Glendive, Havre, Sidney and Wolf Point, Montana 

effective September 27, 2013. 

Order 2011-1-27 awarded the Essential Air Service contract for these Montana communities to Silver Airways for a two year 

period. That contract term expired on May 31, 2013. At present, Silver Airways is the sole provider of certificated 

scheduled air service at these seven communities. Recently, the Department Issued a Show Cause order eliminating 

subsidized service to two key communities, Lewistown and Miles City. This announcement by the Department, coupled 

with our current desire to focus on flying in our more contiguous East Coast, Florida and Bahamas networks, has resulted in 

our decision not to participate in the Department's current bidding process for the remaining EAS cities. 

As a result, Silver Airways is hereby providing public notice of its intent to terminate scheduled air service with the 

expiration of the 90-day notice as required. Any objections to this Notice to Terminate Service must be filed within twenty 
(20) days from the date of this filing, in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 323.10. 

Silver Airways will make all required notifications as outlined in 14 C.F.R. §323.7. 

Submitted: June 28, 2013
