BEFORE THE

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

WASHINGTON, D.C.  20590

In the matter of:

INTRA-ALASKA CLASS						        DOCKET 14694

SERVICE MAIL RATES						        DOCKET 14695

MODIFICATION OF EQUALIZATION NOTICE OF WARBELOW’S AIR VENTURES, INC.

WARBELOW’S AIR VENTURES, INC. (WAV), an Alaskan carrier currently
authorized to transport United States Mail, hereby gives notice of its
intent to equalize between Fairbanks on the one hand and Shungnak, Kobuk
and Ambler on the other hand, with lower levels paid to another carrier
or combination of carriers in the market effective this date. 

Order 90-10-34 provides that air carriers may elect to establish a
reduced charge equal to the charge prescribed for mail transportation
actually being performed between the same origin and destination points
by any other certified air carrier or combination of carriers,
regardless of routing.

Subject to the conditions below, WAV gives notice of its election to
equalize its otherwise applicable rate for small aircraft in the
Fairbanks to Shungnak, Kobuk and Ambler markets to match, on a total
rate per pound basis, the lower rate or combination of rates now in
effect or hereafter prescribed and paid, and further elects to equalize
its otherwise applicable rates in this market to any lower rate or
combination of rates prescribed and paid in the future to any other
carrier or carriers.

Rate equalization under this notice is effective for an indefinite
period.  This election will remain in effect until terminated by written
notice filed at least ten days in advance.  However, the equalization
ceases to be effective when and so long as a lower rated service,
including a combination of services, is not offered in the market at
issue or is not utilized by the Postal Service for mail transportation. 

WHEREFORE, Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc. gives notice of equalization of
its mail rates and requests equitable tender of mail pursuant to the
practices and procedures of the Department of Transportation and the
U.S. Postal Service.

Respectfully submitted,

Arthur Warbelow, President

Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc.
