90-DAY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION, INC.

d/b/a ISLAND AIR SERVICE OF INTENT

TO TERMINATE ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE

AT SAN JUAN/UGANIK, ALASKA

Redemption, Inc. d/b/a Island Air Service (“Island Air”) hereby
gives 90-days notice, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41734 and 14 C.F.R. 323,
of its intent to terminate Essential Air Service (“EAS”) at San
Juan/Uganik, Alaska.

In support of this notice, Island Air states as follows:

Island Air’s principal place of business if P.O. Box 125, Kodiak AK, 
99615.

Island Air holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity,
authorizing it to engage in scheduled air transportation or persons,
property and mail.

San Juan/Uganik is not served by any other certificated carrier.

Island Air currently provides roundtrip service between Kodiak and San
Juan/Uganik subsidy free as needed with Cessna 206 4-passenger aircraft
or deHavilland Beaver 6-passenger aircraft on-peak and one flight per
week off-peak.  

The Department made the most recent EAS determination for San
Juan/Uganik in Order 95-12-4.

Declines in general economic activity and commercial fishing have
reduced the traffic to and from San Juan/Uganik, particularly during the
winter.  Island Air can no longer provide air service to San Juan/Uganik
without substantial subsidy.

WHEREFORE: Redemption, Inc. d/b/a Island Air Service gives 90-days
notice of its intent to terminate all air service to San Juan/Uganik, AK
on or before August 19, 2005.  Island Air also requests waiver of the
provisions of 14 C.F.R. 323 so that it may terminate services as soon as
possible.

Respectfully submitted,

Redemption, Inc. d/b/a Island Air Service
