Montana communities, Mr. Burke then revealed that as a result re-sult of a continuing poor financial fin-ancial position of the airline air-line and strong indications that subsidy payments will not be increased for operating operat-ing scheduled service to low passenger traffic generating generat-ing . areas, Frontier . would probably find it necessary to seek suspension of its eastern. Montana services. Representatives of the Northern Plains Transportation Transporta-tion Council suggested possible pos-sible means for improving Frontier's financial position in its operations in Montana which would make it possible pos-sible for the carrier to continue con-tinue its presently scheduled services on route segments between Billings and Willi-ston, Willi-ston, North Dakota, Billings and Great Falls and Great Falls-Williston which also servo these intermediate Montana cities.
