Remarks:  Air Wisconsin has previously been found to be a citizen of the
United States and fit, willing, and able to provide scheduled interstate
air transportation of persons, property, and mail as a certificated air
carrier under section 41102 of Title 49 U.S.C. (see Orders 93-12-41 and

98-7-6).  The foreign air transportation services authorized here are
not markedly different in terms of aircraft size or stage length from
the carrier’s current scheduled interstate operations under its
existing certificate authority.  We, therefore, found that Air Wisconsin
is qualified to provide the proposed air transportation services for the
two-year period covered by this exemption.

_____________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department policy;
(2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public interest; and
(3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major regulatory
action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.  To the
extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced Docket.  We
may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any
time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department fore view of action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may filed their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
