Federal Express Corporation and Arrow Air, Inc. and Florida West International Airways, Inc. (Approval of Transfer of Frequency, US-Argentina All-Cargo Frequencies)
OST-97-2548 | June 18, 1997
Answer of Fine Airlines,
Motion to Compel and Contingent Motion for Leave to File
If approved, the transfer of frequencies would result in the effective monopolization of the severely frequency- and capacity-controlled, highly concentrated U.S.-Argentina market. FedEx would control eight of the twelve available U.S. carrier frequencies in the market. The remaining four frequencies would be divided among two smaller carriers; neither would be able effectively to challenge or restrain FedEx's dominance of the market. Contrary to the Joint Applicants' assertion that transfer of the frequencies will have a ''relatively small impact on the degree of concentration in the U.S.-Argentina market."
Simply stated, incumbent FedEx now seeks to utilize its massive wealth to purchase what the incumbents were expressly denied in the 1995 proceeding: additional U.S.-Argentina frequencies. Approving the transaction would establish several precedents unfair to small carriers of relatively modest means, such as Fine Air, and antithetical to the public interest.

PAL will commence service to these points under a code-share arrangement with American. Under the code-share agreement, PAL will place its code on American Airlines flights operating between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the one hand,; and some or all of the four named points, on the other hand. PAL's codeshare agreement with American also includes service to Newark/New York (JFK). PAL already holds an exemption to serve Newark, New Jersey, rights which it currently exercises via the intermediate point Vancouver, Canada with local traffic rights between Vancouver and Newark. Notice of Action Taken (August 30, 1996). Under long standing Department policy, the right to serve Newark encompasses the authority to serve New York (JFK) as well. Consequently, it is not necessary for PAL to include New York as one of the named points in this application, although PAL's agreement with American also covers codeshare services to JFK (with Fifth Freedom traffic rights between Vancouver and Newark/New York (JFK)).

Polar Air Cargo, Inc. (All-Cargo Frequency Allocation, US-Argentina)
OST-97-2578 | June 18, 1997
Motion for Leave to File and Reply of Polar
Air to Answer of Challenge Air Cargo
Challenge was awarded two weekly narrow body all-cargo scheduled frequencies; the last over six months ago. Polar Air believes that Challenge's operation of a single, apparently non-scheduled flight in the past 90 days is insufficient to fulfill its obligation to use the scheduled frequencies. Similarly, Polar Air believes that Challenge's proposed schedule of one flight per month will not constitute adequate "scheduled" utilization of the weekly frequencies. As such, these frequencies should be available for re-allocation to a carrier which will properly utilize them. In the alternative, Polar Air requests that the Department investigate Challenge's utilization of the scheduled frequencies and initiate a proceeding to revoke Challenge's allocation.

TAM – Transportes Aereos Meridionais (Clarification of Permit, Code Share with American Airlines)
OST-97-2420 | OST-97-2421 | June 18, 1997
On April 30, 1997, TAM-Transportes Aereos Meridionais ("TAM") filed an application for a foreign air carrier permit pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41302 and an application for an exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41301. TAM seeks authority to serve a number of points in the United States utilizing its own aircraft and crews and, as permitted in the U.S.-Brazil Air Transport Agreement, a number of additional U.S. points on a code share basis only. TAM seeks to offer these code share only services in connection with American Airlines, its code share partner. TAM and American contemporaneously filed a joint application for issuance of appropriate statements of authorization necessary to implement the reciprocal code share agreement-. Among the cities listed in the Code Share Agreement to be served on a code share basis only is San Diego. However, San Diego was unintentionally omitted from the list of U.S. cities in the TAM applications. To conform the TAM applications to the underlying Code Share Agreement, TAM hereby clarifies its permit and exemption applications to include San Diego as a U.S. point to be served by TAM on a code share basis only.
