Joint Reply of American Airlines and Aero California

Aside from suggested conditions with respect to designation limitations, the American and Aero California applications for code-sharing authority are unopposed. The Department should immediately grant these applications, and should continue to work with the Government of Mexico to achieve a code-sharing designation policy that will increase competition and provide benefits to consumers in the U.S.-Mexico market.

Letter to Counsel for American and British Airways

HTML

On May 22, 1997, the Department's Documentary Services Division, SVC-121.30, verified that the Joint Applicants had failed to provide an index for their confidentially filed materials. Therefore, in order to facilitate review of these materials by any interested party, we find it appropriate to direct the Joint Applicants to submit, within three business days, a subject-index to documents that identifies each of the following elements for all submitted materials filed under Rule 39: (1) based on the Department's November 26, 1996, advisory memorandum to the Joint Applicants, the evidence request item (by number and description) that the materials are responsive to; (2) the associated box number; and (3) the associated Bates number or range. While we have specified three descriptive elements to be employed in developing an index, our interest in this matter is to facilitate prompt and lull review of these materials by interested parties. For this reason, if the Joint Applicants can craft a more "user-friendly" index, we fully encourage and endorse the applicants' efforts. The above three categories, however, must be included.
