British Airways Plc (Exemption, London Gatwick-Denver)
OST-98-3595 | March 11, 1998
Opposition of US Airways to British Airways'
Application for an Exemption
British Airways' exemption application for Denver service until US Airways obtains conveniently timed slots at Gatwick Airport to support its Charlotte service. If the U.S. Government does not hold British Airways' exemption application in abeyance, the U.S. Government would effectively permit British Airways to implement monopoly service to Denver, to perpetuate its current monopoly service between London and Charlotte, and to continue receiving its extraordinary benefits under Bermuda II (while new U.S.entrants like US Airways are being frozen out of London service despite their designation by the U.S. Government).

Savannah, Georgia/Hilton Head, South Carolina - (High Density Rule, Chicago O'Hare)
OST-98-3603 | March 11, 1998
Application of The Community of Savannah, Georgia/Hilton Head
South Carolina
The true winners from a Department action to grant this limited exemption would be the consumers and business people of the two state region and those that obtain jobs as a result of the economic development stimulated by air service. Secretary Slater has often spoken of the linkage between transportation and economic growth. By granting this petition, the Department will generate true opportunities for economic growth in the two-state area. It is time for the Department to empower the Community of Savannah/Hilton Head and the two-state area with the ability to control its future economic growth.
