The Bureau of Air Operations
has recommended the extension
into Nebraska and South Da-
of Frontier Airlines from Denver
kota. The Bureau, a staff body OF
the Civil Aeronautics Board, spe-
officially recommended the fol-
lowing:
1. A route between Denver and
Omaha via Sterling, Colo, and
the Nebraska cities of Sidney,
Scottsbluff, Alliance, Imperial,
McCook, North Platte, Kearney,
Hastings, Grand Island, and Lin
coin.
2. Between Denver and Bis
marck via Sterling, Colo, Sidney,
Neb., Cheyenne, Scottsbluff, Neb.,
Alliance, Neb., Chadron, Neb.,
Hot Springs, and the South Da-
kota cities Of Hot Springs, Rapid
City, Spearfish and Lennon.
3. The addition of Minot as an
intermediate point between Will
liston. and Bismarck.
The Bureau also suggested that
Frontier may OVERLY any inter-
mediate point on flights W all
or part of either segment, and
that each intermediate point on
both segments receive two round
trips daily. 1t was also recon-
mended that Minot be perman-
emily certificated to Frontier and
the cities receiving new service
should be temporarily certificated
for a five year period.
The Bureau Counsel opposed
service to the Wyoming cities
of Casper, Douglas, Lusk, and
Newcastle, Ainsworth and Valen-
tine, Neb., and Mobridge, S. d.
NortE. Central Airlines was
recommended for the Minot-Bis-
marck-Sioux Falls via intermedi-
ate points and Ozark Airlines via
Sioux Falls and Kansas City.
These recommendations do not
in any way constitute a final de-
cision in the case. The next step
will be an initial decision by the
examiner to which all cities and
airlines will be allowed to file
exceptions. Following this there
will be an oral argument before
the members of the Civil Aero
nautics Board.
c. A. Myhre, president of
Frontier Airlines, is pleased that
Frontier be recommended for ex-
tension into 10 new cities in Ne
braska and the Dakotas but feels
that Frontiers other route pro-
posals in the Seven State case
have been recommended
and will work toward that end in
the subsequent phases of this
case.
