Application
for Renewal of Exemptions and Motion
ATA has successfully operated between New York and Ireland for more than 10 years. In 1996, under its then newly issued authority, ATA commenced seasonal scheduled service in the New York-Belfast market as well as in the New York-Dublin/Shannon markets. ATA subsequently suspended scheduled service in these New York-Ireland markets in 1997. ATA thereafter provided seasonal charter service to Ireland and continues to do so. ATA provides this service with 757 aircraft configured for 216 passengers. Such service is operated 5 days per week with one flight offered each flight day. ATA proposes to continue to offer such seasonal charter service, but is again also considering reinstating scheduled service as a compliment to its charter service.

Continental Airlines, Inc. (Exemption, US-Central America)
OST-98-3317 | January 7, 1998
Continental is planning to begin daily service between San Salvador and Los Angeles beginning in February, 1998, and to offer service between Newark and San Salvador, San Jose (Costa Rica) and Guatemala City in 1998, and Continental is exploring other options for its Central American service, especially in light of the Department's tentative approval of the American/TACA alliance, an alliance even the Department has recognized "may result in certain anticompetitive outcomes."

Delta Air Lines, Inc. - (Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, Atlanta/New York-South America; US-Belize)
OST-97-3218 | January 7, 1998
Answer of Continental
Airlines
Delta's' request for Atlanta/New York-South America authority is more a publicity stunt than a serious request for authority. Delta's Johnny-come-lately approach to Latin America is far different from Continental's painstaking efforts over the past ten years to develop Houston and Newark as Latin America gateways to provide nonstop service in major gateway markets and expand connecting opportunities for passengers throughout the Continental hub networks. Continental embarked on a Latin American expansion program in 1988.
Counsel: Continental and Crowell Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202-624-2500
Answer of
the Georgia and Atlanta Parties in Support
Atlanta, as the hub of the Southeast region, will attract traffic over the Delta hub to and from Latin America, in strong competition with Miami, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and New York/Newark.

Answer of United
Air Lines and Motion to Modify Scope
United has been attempting for several years to compete with American Airlines, Inc. ("American") for U.S.-South America traffic. In 1992 United acquired the U.S.-South America authority of Pan American World Airways, Inc. ("'Pan Am") in order to offer competition in this increasingly important region. Pan Am's route system did not, however, include authority to serve several key points in South America. For example, Pan Am's authority to serve Colombia was limited to Barranquilla, precluding service to the key market of Bogota. In addition, Pan Am's certificate contained no authority to serve points in Ecuador, Bolivia, or Paraguay. United, therefore, does not have authority to serve these countries despite the fact that American, its primary competitor, is authorized to serve and is serving these countries.

United Air Lines, Inc. (Certificate Amendment, South America)
OST-95-495 | January 7, 1998
Amendment
No. 2 to Application and Motion for Leave to Amend
The authority United is requesting by this amendment will enable it to offer competitive services between the U.S. and those points in South America it is not currently authorized to serve. This would expand its authority to serve Colombia to include all points in that country that may be served consistent with the applicable bilateral agreement. Peru is added to this route to provide additional routing flexibility for services to that country for which United holds authority in its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Route 703. Finally, United requests the addition to this route of authority to serve points in Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay consistent with the bilateral air services agreements between those countries and the U.S.
