Petition for Rulemaking: Air Fares (Submitted by Consumers Union of US)

OST-97-2622 | July 2, 1997

Answer of Trans World Airlines

HTML

The proposed regulation would impose enormous costs on the industry which could only result in higher fares for consumers. Under the proposed rule, each reservation and travel agent would have to discuss with the passenger in every reservation conversation both the lowest fare and average fare. Moreover, consumers will undoubtedly have additional questions when the subject is raised.

Sunworld International Airlines, Inc. (Renewal of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, Interstate/Foreign, US-Cayman Islands)

OST-95-666 and OST-95-667 | July 2, 1997

Answer from the City of Cleveland

While Sunworld has yet to utilize its current authority to serve Cleveland, the City of Cleveland nonetheless views the carrier's request for continued exemption authority a very encouraging sign of market growth. The City of Cleveland maintains, therefore, that Sunworld holds considerable promise for initiating scheduled and/or charter service in additional U.S. markets in the future, and only with the extension of this exemption authority can this be made possible.

By: William Cunningham, Director

Answer of Vacation Travel International

HTML

Vacation Travel International, Inc. (VTI) answers in opposition to the above applications of Sunworld International Airlines, Inc. (Sunworld). VTI submits that Sunworld does not satisfy the continuing fitness requirements imposed upon certificated air carriers by 49 U.S.C. § 41 110(e). VTI therefore urges the Department, upon due investigation, to revoke rather than renew Sunworld's certificates of public convenience and necessity.
