State Aeronautics director Jack
Obbink said Tuesday that the state
will fight such a suspeomm.
Obbink said that Frontier must
have Civil Aeronautics Hoard per
mission to cancel the service xaU
that the state and cities will ctm
tend cancellation of certificate anl
inadequacy of service in lighting
the airline.
Frontier's plans to diseemum
the route deals O'Neill's chasm
of getting a stop-over a ^vnt
blow.
Funds available are earmarked
for O'Neill and total $75,000 This
is federal money which will have
to be matched by the state and
O'Neill Airport Authority to con
struct the $150,000 project con
sidered here.
O’ N e i 1 1 would have to raise
$10,000 and $35,000 would be from
ihe state of Nebraska.
Before the project could be
stated, however. Civil Aeronauts*
Hoard authorities would have to
approve the project. To get ap
proval, there must lie a chance
that some airline will agree to
stop in O'Neill
Since Frontier Airlines is lire
only intrastate airline that pases
close to O'Neill, it is generally
considered to bo the only airline
to give O'Neill the service neces
sary for airport approval.
James Rooney, chairman of the
O'Neill Chamber of Commerce's
aeronautical committee says that
there is still a chance to get half
of the federal $75,000 and matching
funds to improve our airport far
local use.
O'Neill’s share of the money,
$20,1X10, could be financed and paid
back through local use, but O’
Neill would have to have an air
line service before the entire
$150,000 could be raised.
Unless the state of Nebraska is
successful in preventing Frontier
from halting (heir present Ne
braska service, chances of th*
airline are slim.
Another route which FConner
plans to discontinue is the senonta
daily round trip between Chadroo
and Lincoln by way of Valentint
Ainsworth and Norfolk.
