FLIGHT ALASKA, INC. d.b.a. YUTE AIR

NOTICE OF EQUALIZATION

MARCH 3, 2004

Flight Alaska, Inc.  d.b.a. Yute 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 Flight Alaska in its
scheduled service and are also served by Part 121 bush aircraft. As
such, Flight Alaska, Inc.  d.b.a. Yute 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.  Flight
Alaska 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.

	Flight Alaska equalizes its mail rates to the lowest prevailing bush
rate in the markets it serves by its scheduled service. Flight Alaska
does not elect to equalize to the mainline rate in any of its markets.
Flight Alaska 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.

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

Wherefore Flight Alaska, Inc.  d.b.a. Yute 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

Ron Dudley, Director of Operations
