Ninety Day Notice of

MESABA AVIATION, INC.

of termination of service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin Docket OST-2011-

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 323

NINETY-DAY NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE

Pursuant to Part 323 of the Department of Transportation's Regulations (14

carrier, hereby gives notice of its intent to discontinue service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin

effective September 5, 2011.

Mesaba provides unsubsidized service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Rhinelander

also has 13 weekly scheduled flights by Chautauqua d/b/a Frontier Express operated

with Embraer 135 regional jets on a Milwaukee

return) routing, which would appear to meet Rhinelander's EAS service requirements.

Chautauqua is currently receiving EAS subsidy for its through services to Ironwood.

Respectfully Submitted,
