Notice of Extension

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated.  (No additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter.)

By Order 2003-2-10, issued February 12, 2003, served February 18,
2003, the Department requested proposals from air carriers interested in
providing essential air service at Grand Island, Nebraska.  These
proposals were due within 20 days after the date of service of
Order 2003-2-10, i.e., by March 10, 2003.

We have received a request from MultiAero, Inc., for a twenty-day
extension of this due date.  In support of its request, MultiAero
affirms that it will deliver to the Department of Transportation all
required documentation on or before March 31, 2003.

We will grant this request.  As is our normal practice, we will
therefore grant all potentially interested applicants until March 31,
2003, to submit service proposals for any or all of the subject points.

This action is effective immediately.
