United Air Lines, Inc. and Air Canada (Antitrust Immunity)

OST-96-1434 | July 30, 1997

Consolidated Joint Answer of United Air Lines and Air Canada

HTML

No party has challenged the Department's findings and conclusions relating to the public benefits which underlie its decision to approve the expanded alliance. Rather, two competitors of United and Air Canada have chosen to use the occasion of the Department's issuance of a show cause order to seek to advance their own agendas. The Department should not allow the irrelevant and repetitive issues raised by these competitors to delay still further the offering of the unchallenged public benefits that the Department has recognized will flow from implementation of the expanded alliance. United and Air Canada urge that the Department issue an order making final its findings and conclusions in Order 97-6-30 without further delay.

Counsel: United and Ginsburg Feldman, Joel Burton, 202-637-9130 / Air Canada and Galland Kharasch, Anita Mosner, 202-342-5200

Western Pacific Airlines, Inc. (Exemption, Chicago O'Hare Slots)

OST-95-277 | July 30, 1997

Motion for Leave to File and Consolidated Reply of the City of Chicago to the Third Supplmental Response of Western Pacific Airlines

HTML

WestPac has presented the Department with evidence demonstrating significant fare impacts of competitive service in both the Colorado Springs-Midway and Colorado Springs-O'Hare markets. As noted by WestPac, total traffic and capacity in the Colorado Springs-Chicago market has tripled in just two years. WestPac suggests that if awarded the slots it requests at O'Hare, similar benefits will be realized in the Colorado Springs-O'Hare market, which could also redound to the benefit of established carriers both in stimulating demand in the O'Hare-Colorado market and in creating a pool of additional passengers for carriage from O'Hare on East-bound traffic -- passengers who might otherwise travel through different, competing hubs.

Counsel: Winthrop Stimson, Kenneth Quinn, 202-775-9800
