of intent to terminate the scheduled air service it is providing at
Cody, Wyoming.

In accordance with Section 41719, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. supplies

At the time of the filing of this notice, Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd.,
operating as Great Lakes Airlines provides service at Cody, Wyoming. 
Great Lakes’ schedules are operated utilizing its own ZK two letter
code and reservation system.  The company also provides high quality
connections, sold through its United Airlines and Frontier Airlines
code-share agreements.

Great Lakes Airlines service at Cody currently consists of two weekday
one-stop round-trips to Denver International Airport, a major connecting
hub for United Airlines and Frontier Airlines, in 19-seat Raytheon/Beech
1900D equipment.

Delta Connection service at Cody is provided by Skywest Airlines from
Salt Lake City, Utah, and consists of three daily nonstop round trips in
30-seat Embraer Brasilia equipment.

 

The Great Lakes Airlines service being offered is as follows:

Flight Number   From    Departure   To    	Arrival    Frequency

	5046	  COD	0705		DEN	 0910		Daily

	5155	  COD	1520		DEN	1725		X Sat

	

	5180	  DEN	1237		COD	1500		X Sat

	5047	  DEN	2045		COD	2313		X Sat

	5047	  DEN	1725		COD	1953		Sat

		COD – Cody, Wyoming

		DEN – Denver International Airport, Denver, Colorado

		All flights operate one-stop in 19 seat Beech 1900D equipment.

		All times are local time in effect as of the date of this notice.

Seasonal revenue swings due to discretionary summer vacationers to
Yellowstone National Park support only summer operations.  Financial
losses suffered during the remaining eight months of the year would
cause the airline to require subsidy to maintain service.

Should the DOT choose not to “hold in” Great Lakes, the company
would coordinate with other airlines the reaccommodation of passengers
ticketed for travel beyond November 24, 2003 at no penalty to
passengers, or offer a full refund at no penalty if requested.

The effective date of this notice is August 25, 2003.

The effective date of this intended termination is November 24, 2003
(the last day of scheduled service would be November 24, 2003).

Objections, if any, to this Notice are due on September 10, 2003.

Respectfully submitted,

David H Thomas
