Federal Express Corporation - (Certificate Amendment, US-Japan All-Cargo)
OST-98-3435 | March 12, 1998
Reply of Federal Express and Motion for Leave
to File
United's expressed concern about route integration appears to be principally related to United's perception of the circumstances of its own certificate and exemption authority (United Answer, p. 4). That concern does not appear to be applicable to Federal Express, which holds an exemption granting Federal Express broad world-wide operating flexibility to provide services between points on all of its certificate and exemption authorizations, subject to specificapplicable bilateral agreements (Order 98-1-23, served January 29, 1998). Federal Express respectfully requests that the Department issue an order amending Federal Express' Certificate for Route 205-F authorizing Federal Express to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between points in the United States and points in Japan, via intermediate points and beyond Japan, as requested in its application, as modified in this Reply.

The ATA hereby petitions the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration (collectively, 'DOT") to make certain revisions to DOT's Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges (the "Policy") in light of the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Air Transport Association of America v. DOT, 119 F.3d 38. as amended bv 129 F.3d 62a (D.C. Cir. 1997). Now that the Court of Appeals has vacated and remanded certain portions of the Policy for further consideration and explanation, ATA urges DOT to promptly issue a notice of proposed rulemaking that addresses certain of the Court's concerns and will provide for more effective oversight over airport rates and charges, as Congress has mandated.

979,000 shares, and that it now held 57.8% of the outstanding common stock voting power of
Continental.

A copy of a news report on the Northwest filing is attached hereto.TWA requests leave to file this Supplement and the attached document as an otherwise unauthorized pleading. It corrects TWA's Answer to reflect the most current information and will assist the Department in its consideration of the Continental application for code share frequencies.
