also being served by Frontier would be discontinued. Western Airlines service would also be suspended at Lewistown, Mont.
In this vote the CAB was guided by a "Use it or lose it" policy in which service to any of these points would be suspended or deleted if operations over a period of approximately a year failed to show an average of more than five passengers enplaned daily.
