Reply of US Airways to Laker Airways' Answer

US Airways recognizes the desire that carriers may have to control designations for future planning purposes. This, of course, is not a sufficient reason for the Department to refrain from ensuring that these scarce resources are put to their highest and best use. There are now two unused opportunities under the highly-restrictive Bermuda 2 bilateral that would allow new, increased U.S. carrier service to London. Only one carrier, US Airways, has a firm, fixed and definite proposal to institute this service in the immediate future. Opposing carriers, acting out of self-interest, should not be permitted to frustrate the realization of the public benefits that will be achieved as a result of US Airways' new scheduled service to London. Such a step would protect only the interests of competitors while denying the public the benefits of competition.
