Application for new air service between St. Louis and Seattle via intermediate cities in Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Utah and Oregon was made by Frontier Airlines to the Civil Aeronautics Board. Also included in Frontier's application was a request to extend its Central Nebraska route which operates between Denver and Omaha to serve St. Louis via St. Joseph and Columbia, Missouri.

The extent of Frontier's application was announced today in Omaha by Frontier's President Lewis W. Dymond at a meeting with the Omaha airport authority.

Also attending the meeting was Nebraska's Governor Frank B. Morrison.

Said Dymond, "Frontier's application extends new routes from Omaha and Kansas City to St. Louis and on the west from Frontier's terminal cities of Spokane, Seattle and Portland. It would also establish a new shortcut between leading cities of the Missouri Valley to the Pacific Northwest providing the first one carrier service over the shortest most direct route."

Dymond added. "Frontier's application would also establish the first non-stop and through service between Denver and St. Louis. It would also provide Frontier served communities in the Rocky Mountain West with connecting air service through St. Louis to the important southeastern areas of the U.S."

To be benefited by Frontier's application besides the terminals of St. Louis and Seattle would be the intermediate cities of Kansas City, Columbia and St. Joseph, Mo., Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., Denver, Salt Lake City, Rapid City, Billings, Great Falls, Spokane and Portland.

Frontier proposes to use its present twin engine fleet of aircraft and other suitable aircraft as may be available to the airline at the time that service is inaugurated.
