NOTICE OF EQUALIZATION

FEBRUARY 19, 2004

Village Aviation, Inc. d.b.a. Camai Air is a certified 

air carrier having the authority to transport mail within

the State of Alaska and hereby states its intent to equalize to the Part
121 bush mail rate in those markets served by Village in its scheduled
service and are also served by Part 121 bush aircraft. As such, Village
Aviation, Inc. d.b.a. Camai Air, states the following:

	By Order 2004-2-12, the Department established a new linehaul mail rate
which is applicable between city pairs that are served at least once a
week by a Part 121 bush aircraft as defined in the U.S.C. 5402.  Village
files this notice in accordance with the language of the USPS Handbook
PO-508, and does so to avoid elimination of any mail tender that it is
otherwise lawfully entitled to in the markets that it serves with Part
135 bush aircraft.

	Village equalizes its mail rates to the lowest prevailing bush rate in
the markets it serves by its scheduled service. Village does not elect
to equalize to the mainline rate in any of its markets. Village does not
elect to equalize to the Part 121 bush rate in any markets that are not
served by a Part 121 bush aircraft at least once per week.

	Village’s intent to equalize as described in this notice is effective
immediately and indefinitely and shall remain in effect until Village
serves further notice to modify or rescind its intent.

Wherefore Village Aviation, Inc. d.b.a. Camai Air, requests that the
Department and the United States Postal Service accept this notice of
equalization and that Village receive all mail tender for which it is
eligible under the law and under the practices of the U.S. Postal
Service.

Respectfully submitted

Don R, King, President

Village Aviation, inc. d.b.a. Camai Air
