Lufthansa German Airlines (Exemption, Frankfurt-Chicago)
OST-98-3552 | February 24, 1998
Lufthansa wishes to introduce a new daily roundtrip combination service between Chicago and Frankfurt using Stage 3 Airbus A340 aircraft on May 1, 1998.
Lufthansa's proposed service will also establish for the first time attractive two-segment online connecting services to O'Hare from points in important developing markets. Lufthansa's 5:30 p.m. Frankfurt departure is scheduled so that it connects with a bank of 36 incoming Lufthansa flights, many of which serve points in Eastern Europe and Central Asia that currently do not enjoy convenient, two-segment online connecting service to Chicago. Approval of Lufthansa's exemption application will therefore mean that Chicago and Chicago connecting passengers will be able to travel for the first time to/from cities such as Kiev, Minsk or Katowice without having to change carriers or make multiple changes of plane between Chicago and their European/Central Asian destination.

United Air Lines, Inc. (Renewal and Amendment, Codeshare)
OST-96-1554 | February 24, 1998
Application for Renewal and Amendment of an Exemption
By Notice of Action Taken dated October 15, 1996, and Order 96-11-5 served November 18, 1996, the Department of Transportation renewed the exemption authority of United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") to operate scheduled service between points in the United States, on the one hand, and Almaty, Kazakhstan; Kiev, Ukraine; Minsk, Belarus; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Tallinn, Estonia; Vilnius, Lithuania; Asmara, Eritrea; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Malta; Tunis, Tunisia; and Thessaloniki, Greece, on the other hand. The order also amended the authority to permit services to be operated via all points in Germany, rather than Frankfurt only, as had previously been the case. The Department awarded this authority to enable United to serve these points pursuant to its code-share agreement with Lufthansa German Airlines ("Lufthansa"). Under that agreement, Lufthansa carries or will carry "UA" designated traffic on one or more of the service segments between these countries and the United States via points in Germany.
United hereby applies for renewal of this authority pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section 40109 for a period of two years. United also requests that its exemption be amended to allow United to serve these countries from the U.S. via points in other countries in addition to Germany so as to permit code-share service, for example, via points in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) on Scandinavia Airlines System ("SAS").
