AHK Air Hong Kong Limited (Foreign Air Carrier Permit Renewal, Hong Kong-US Cargo Charters)

OST-97-2468 | 47545 | May 6, 1997

Application for Renewal of Foreign Air Carrier Permit

HTML

Although scheduled air transportation between the U.S. and Hong Kong is governed by an air services agreement, cargo charter services are not within the purview of the agreement; rather, cargo charter service is governed by comity and reciprocity. In granting the original permit to AHK, the Department found that "adequate comity and reciprocity and our overall aviation relations with Hong Kong support favorable action on AHK's request." AHK is not aware of any circumstances that would warrant a change in those positive findings.

Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. (Exemption, Seoul-Protland All-Cargo)

OST-96-1235 | May 6, 1997

Answer of World Airways

HTML

Until World's complaint is resolved and it is able to exercise rights its government has negotiated for it, no application filed by KAY should receive favorable consideration by the Department. The Department's precedents in this regard have been clear, and KAY is clearly wrong when it contends that approval of its renewal application is warranted under governing principles of comity and reciprocity.

United Air Lines, Inc. (Allocation of US-Philippines Route 2 All-Cargo Frequencies)

OST-97-2201 | May 6, 1997

Answer of United Air Lines and Contingent Motion for Leave to File

HTML

Even if Northwest is allowed to amend its service plan, the new all-cargo schedules it proposes for its U.S.-Philippines services merely confirm the superiority of United's proposal. Both of United's new U.S.-Philippines all-cargo services would operate to Manila on a turnaround basis. This would provide direct services twice weekly between Manila and the U.S. in both directions. Northwest's new proposal would offer only a single turnaround flight at Manila. The other weekly frequency would serve Manila in the eastbound direction only. Any westbound freight from the U.S. to Manila on that service would be carried via Bangkok, adding a considerable amount of elapsed time for U.S. shippers.
